1t is often said that one good
term deserves another, but with DR..
Lee Humphrey, as member of the
state medical board, it has been
that one good term deserved four
more, and that is just what has
happened. Recently Governor Dav-
ey reappointed DR.. Humphrey to
seven year term. Already he has
served four full terms-2S consecu-
tive years, and is beginning his
fifth term. This is a record for the
state of Ohio. and it may be a rec
ord for the United States. DR.. Hum
phrey received his first appointment
by the late Governor Judson Har-
mon. At that time it came as sur
prise, since it was made solely upon
fact that is the way all of DR.. Hum
phrey's appointments have been
made by the various governors who
have appointed him, since he has
never appeared personally before
any governor in his own behalf AS
stated Governor Harmon first ap-
pointed him, and he has since been
appointed by Governors James M.
Cox, Vic Donahey, George White
and Martin L. Davey.
During the long period DIR. Hum
phrey has been on the board. he has
assisted in the examination OFFS 900
students; 1000 reciprocity exami-
nations; and has been present at ap-
proximately 500 hearings before the
board, which included revocation,
misdemeanors. etc. He was on the
board at the time the Pratt Ellis
medical act was passed in 1915.
This measure made it necessary for
all limited practioneers to take the
state examination in all basic sub
iects, and since that time there
have been 1000 of them examined
by the state medical board. We
mention these things to let the pub
lie know something of the amount
of work DR.. Humphrey does as a
was it's president, and in all, has
been president of the board five diff
ferent times.
DR.. Humphrey graduated from
the Ohio medical college at Cincin-
rati March IL, 1888. and on April
28, 1888 opened an office in Malta,
in the same place as at present,
with his cousin. the late ]. B. Hum
nhrey, for the practice of medicine.
Thus we see he will soon have prac-
ticed medicine for half century,
and has enjoyed one of the largest
practices of any doctor in this part
Of the state. and is still going
strong. While he has not an abso-
lutte accurate record. he has helped
to bring into this world more than
1000 babies. Many of them bear
the illustrous name of "sLee" He
refuses to name all Of the "Lees."
since he says that the first "Lee'
had six toes on each foot, and an
other finally landed in the peniten-
tiary.
However busy as has been DR..
Humphrey in the successful practice
of medicine, he has also been busy
along many other lines--the church.
the schools. banking, manufacture
ing. and hotel business-and as sort
of side line hobby, in politics. DR..
Humphrey has an acnuaintance that
is state wide. and his legion of
friends are pleased to know of his
reapDOintment
