He couldn’t imagine, he said, running around making house calls at the age of 85 to support his family. So, in 1953, he made a dramatic change that provided him with greater security and reduce work responsibilities. He accepted a position on the staff of the Brattleboro Retreat as a staff physician. The Retreat, founded in the 1830s as the first mental health hospital in the state, and one of the first private mental health hospitals in the country, had a patient population of 350. Sutherland tended to the physical ailments for about 125 chronically ill men, saw some patients in the out-patient department, and ran an in-house clinic for retreat employees. To a certain extent, he did prescribe homeopathic remedies for his patients there, but also worked allopathically. For a number of years, Sutherland maintained a private practice in the evenings so he could cater to the people who had doctored with him over the years. But slowly, the hours reduced; and by the time he turned 70, that too was terminated. In spite of these changes, Sutherland’s involvement with homeopathy continued. Long deprived of local colleagues, he had participated first in statewide and later in national homeopathic organizations for many years. As it always seemed to happen in any organization he joined, be it homeopathic or orthodox, Sutherland rose to a leadership position. He became a leading teacher at a course run annually by the American Foundation for Homeopathy, and later, the National Center for Homeopathy. Compared to the now vanished four-year homeopathic medical colleges of his youth, these courses were modest offerings of six weeks. But they played a crucial role in keeping alive the flame of homeopathy during a very lean period that extended for nearly three decades. As the old homeopaths that trained in the early 20th century slowly disappeared, and awareness of homeopathy in general receded, it was left to a small community of adherents to maintain its continued existence in this country from the 1940s thru the 60s. They were a mixture old timers like Sutherland and younger physicians who had somehow come in contact with homeopathy and recognized its value. And there were an increasing number of laypersons that felt a philosophical affinity to this effective but Tuesday, Jan. 27 LECTURES & WORKSHOPS Age in Motion 1 10:30am.

CynthiaProprietress Rodier Biennial Regional gentle medical science. As earlier parts of this series were published, I received an e-mail from David Sutherland, the younger son of Allan. I had heard that a son of his still lived in the area, and was excited that he made the effort to make contact and even suggest that we get together. Over a restaurant dinner with our spouses, he shared memories of his father, showed me some pictures, and lent me copies of a journal that contained articles penned by his father. An engaging and young looking 70, David reminisced fondly about summer spent in Millersville, PA where his father had brought the family while he participated in teaching the homeopathy course. In the recordings I listened to, Allan Sutherland never expressed any enmity or malice toward the orthodox medical profession per se, though he clearly did not hold the American Medical Association – which had actively tried to crush homeopathy and other non-orthodox practices – in high regard. (Ironically, Sutherland expressed more disdain toward some of the lay homeopaths that he felt were both under trained and overly idealistic about what homeopathy could and couldn’t do.) When I brought this up to his son, he replied simply that his father was not a man who harbored ill will. It wasn’t part of his nature. He further related that in the last decade of his life, the years after the recording was made, his father was sought out by a new generation of students who gathered at the family home to learn from him. It must have been quite gratifying to recognize that the lean years were coming to an end, that, in fact, throughout the US there was a budding renaissance in the homeopathic movement, and that he had been one of those responsible for it.
