Obituary.

MARY PUTNAM JACOBI, M. D.

Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi of New York City, wife of Dr. Abraham Jacobi, one of the most distinguished physicians in this country, died June 10, 1906, at the age of 63 years. She was born in London, graduated in pharmacy in New York, and later from the Woman's Medical College in Philadelphia (1861). She served a year as interne in a Boston hospital and in 1866 entered the School of Medicine at Paris, from which she was graduated in 1871, receiving a prize for her graduation thesis.

She soon returned to this country and once more took up the practice of her profession in New York. She was the first woman physician admitted to fellowship in the New York Academy of Medicine, and was, likewise, the first woman sent as a delegate to the Medical Society of the State of New York. She became professor in the Woman's Medical College of the New York infirmary, where she taught for ten years, and afterward became a teacher at the New York PostGraduate Medical School and Hospital. She was physician to the out-patient department of Mt. Sinai Hospital and attending physician to St. Mark's Hospital.

Dr. Mary Putnam, in 1873, married Dr. Abraham Jacobi of New York. In 1874 she was elected President of the Association for the Advancement of the Medical Education of Women, a society which she organized. She was gifted as a speaker and writer and devoted much time to the improvement of the education of her sex. Her medical writings alone comprise over forty papers, contributed to periodicals and encyclopedias. In 1876 she was awarded the Boylston prize at Harvard for an essay entitled "The Question of Rest for Women During Menstruation." This remarkable woman in many ways left her impress on the medicine of the period in which she lived.
