I Nuihanirl CEarla11h livirlr, i-Milli., fIl1I.E., SLE. HE man to whom this book is respectfully dedicated, was born in Baltimore. October 10, 1833. Dr. Keirle was educated in several private schools in his early youth: he later attended St. Mary's Seminary, now St. Mary's College, on Paca Street and Druid Hill Avenue. From this school he was sent to Public School No. 6, then on Ross Street. now Druid Hill Avenue, near Biddle Street. He was then passed to the High School. now the City College. After being here for a short time, he entered Dickinson College, passed through the preparatory and Collegiate departments, spent five years at Carlisle, and graduated second in his class in 1855. Having obtained his A. B. degree, he returned to Baltimore. On his return his thoughts were turned to the study of law: on inquiry he was informed that he was too old to study law. His age then was twenty-two. Thinking that he was not bad enough to enter the ministry, there was nothing left to do but study medicine. He became an office student of Dr. Miltenberger and remained under his preeeptorship for two years, at the same time attending lectures at the University of Maryland. For meritorious and efficient services during a typhus fever epidemic at the Baltimore Almshouse, he was awarded a gold medal and certificate by the trustees, and the Mayor of Baltimore City. Leaving the Almshouse, he took up for a short time the practice of a friend near Gettysburg. After the battle of Gettysburg he served the sick and wounded in the hospital at Gettysburg. During his faithful work here he himself became quite ill. He, therefore, returned to Baltimore, his condition regarded very serious, his trouble being pleurisy, but tuberculosis being suspected. After several months elapsed he was able again to undertake his work. Having recovered his health, he opened an oflice on West Franklin Street. For a while he took up work in dermatology in connection with the Special Dispensary, then located at the northeast corner of Saratoga and North Streets. In March, 1881, he was secured as Physician in Charge at the City Hospital Dispensary. He was soon after appointed Demonstrator and later Lecturer on Pathology and Medical jurisprudence. In 1894 he was elected Professor in these departments. He resigned the chair of Pathology in 1902, continuing to hold the chair of Medical jurisprudence. lu
