S. BISHOP, A. M., M. D., Bloomington; another of the physicians of Bloomington of more than ordinary ability, is S. Bishop, A. M., M. D. He is a native of Clark County, Ohio, and was born December 3, 1826. During his early life, he had but little opportunity of attending school, or in other ways procuring an education. Leaving his home at the age of 21, his first move was to go to Chicago, where he began working and attending school. This he followed until 1858, when he became a literary graduate at Madison University, N. Y., and from the Theological Department of the same institution, he again graduated in the year 1860. Some seven years after this, he began the study of medicine, and attended lectures at the Homoeopathic Medical College, of Missouri, and at the St. Louis College of Homoeopathic Physicians and Surgeons, at which last college he became a graduate of the science of medicine, in 1870. He practiced a short time during 1869-70, in St. Louis, and, in 1870, he went to Moline, Ill., where he located and practiced about five and a half years. In the fall of 1875, he came to Bloomington, where he has since resided and practiced his profession. He is a member of the McLean County Homoeopathic Medical Society, and also of the Illinois State Homoeopathic Medical Association. He contributes now and then to medical journals, and continues to be an enthusiastic student of medicine, and is a firm believer in the homoeopathic law of cure.
