WRIGHT, Thomas Lee, physician, born in Windham, Portage County, Ohio, 7 August, 1825. He was educated at Miami university and at Ohio medical college, where he was graduated in 1846. Until 1854 he practised in Kansas City, chiefly among the Wyandotte Indians, and he afterward removed to Bellefontaine, Ohio. He lectured on the theory and practice of medicine in Ohio Wesleyan university in 1855-'6, and was a member of the Ohio medical society and president of the Logan county medical society. Dr. Wright has made the scientific aspects of inebriety a special study. This has led to inquiries respecting the effects of alcohol, not only immediately, but remotely, upon the nervous functions and capacities; and finally upon minds and morals in their several departments. In 1887 he attended the International congress of inebriety held in London, and was one of its vice-presidents. He also edited the "Ohio Censor," a political journal published in Bellefontaine. Dr. Wright has contributed to the transactions of the Ohio medical society and medical journals, and has written "Notes on the Theory of Human Existence" (1848) and "Disquisition on the Ancient History of Medicine" (1860). He has published" Inebriism, a Pathological and Psychological Study" (Columbus, 1885).
