A CONTINENTAL TEAMSTER
"George Anders, a member of the Schwenkfelder sect, then living on a farm long since known as the Meschter farm, had two very fine horses, and so also had his friend and neighbor, Abraham Kriebel. These two together with their handsome new wagon, just from the wheelwright, were pressed into servÂice of the Continental Army. Anders felt such a tender concern for his pet horses that he could hardly let them go, fearing they might not be properly cared for. He therefore offered his son, Abraham, then eighteen years old, to go with the horses as their groom and teamster or driver. The offer was of course gladly accepted. After he had served awhile and had gained the confidence of his superior officers, he was sometimes sent considerable distances with his team for various commodities. So on one occasion he thought to take advantage of their confidence and attempted to make his escape with his team, but he dared not come home for fear of being arrested. He was therefore making his way toward Old Goshenhoppen in Berks Co., where many Schwenkfelders lived, to his uncle, George Kriebel, but he was pursued and overtaken by the Supt. of Transport. He escaped punishment by artfully pleading that he had lost his way and become so bewildered as to not know where he was. As he was yet so young, and was supposed to be inexperienced about the country the officer believed his story, and merely ordered him back again without any further punishment.
"He then served till the army was so far removed that his further services could be dispensed with. Then he got an honorable discharge and came home with the wagon and all the horses in splendid condition.
"This was frequently related to me by his grandson and other of his descendants." [Read before the Montg. Co. Hist. Soc., Oct. 28, 1896, by Abraham H. Cassel-Vol. II, p 161.]

Samuel Dresher Anders was born on the old home farm in Worcester township. On Nov. 20, 1838 he married Lydia Meschter, born in Goshenhoppen, who died July 21, 1842. In 1844 he married ChrisÂtina Meschter, also born in Goshenhoppen, a sister of his first wife. After his first marriage he followed agriculture in Lower Providence township near Fairview Village. His farm, consisting of 110 acres, was rapidly brought to a high state of cultivation and so maintained for more than four decades, or until his retirement from the pursuit of agriculture a few years before his death, which occurred on Apr. 12, 1888.
Before his three sons had reached manhood, Samuel Anders became a man of property, having purchased two additional farms in Worcester township, thus evidencing his early agricultural predilecÂtions. When asked why he acquired these, he replied, in the hearing of the writer, "If my sons do not wish to become farmers, I have daughters who may marry farmers."
Samuel Anders was a plain, earnest, unassuming man of honest convictions and the strictest integÂrity. He had a pleasing personality, made friends readily and enjoyed their fellowship, although his avocation, that of farming, which he pursued with intelligence and industry, claimed nearly all of his time, so that opportunities for meeting men of affairs were limited. The community, in which he so long lived, held him in the highest esteem and his counsel on financial, business and agricultural matters, was considered to be most valuable and was frequently sought after by his friends and acquaintances.

Jacob Heebner Anders was born on his father's farm adjoining the Worcester Schwenkfelder Church. Although as a boy he seemed to be in delicate health, he developed a "wiry" fibre of physical endurance that later showed an enormous capacity for strenuous labor by hand and an ability to stand tests of strength and prowess.
At an early age he showed an intense thirst for education. He attended the Trappe (Pa.) Seminary and by intense application became especially brilliant in Latin, Greek, and mathematics. Engaging in the profession of teaching, Mr. Anders taught in several of the districts of Montg. Co., and in the late 50's served a number of years as principal of the Wynnewood (now Ardmore, Pa.) High School. During this period his services were frequently sought by surveyors in solving intricate problems of acreage, etc.
During the Civil War he read medicine for a time, but was dissuaded by his parents from entering the medical profession. He then turned to the study of law and was graduated from the Law DepartÂment of the University of Pennsylvania, being admitted to the Phila. bar about 1869. Specializing in patent cases, he became very skillful in this branch of legal procedure and originated several new proÂcedures, with the sanction of the judges of the U. S. Courts, in the naturalization of aliens.
During all this time he continued his study of languages and mathematics. It is stated that he spent many of his evenings translating difficult Greek and Latin passages, and is said to have welcomed problems brought to him for solution in higher mathematics. The Hon. Benjamin Harris Brewster, Attorney General of the U. S. in Pres. Benjamin Harrison's Cabinet, himself an eminent scholar, is said to have pronounced Mr. Anders "the finest Greek and Latin scholar at the Philadelphia Bar." [The Schwenkfeldian, Vol. VIII, p 122.]

DAVID H. ANDERS, BAND MASTER.
In 1690 there was born in Germany a certain Heinrich Anders, who later became organist in the old church in Amsterdam, and who published two books of Sonatas in 1720.
It is not known whether this Heinrich Anders was related to Balzer Anders of the immigrant Schwenkfelders or not, but at least one branch of the Anders family possesses exceptional musical ability which indicates that there might be some connection between the families.
David H. Anders, the subject of this sketch, was born on his father's farm adjoining the Worcester Schwenkfelder Church, in Worcester Twp., Pa. While the Schwenkfelders had always encouraged vocal music in the form of singing for the better participation in religious exercises, up to this time they strongÂly disapproved of "machine-made music" not only in the church but also in the home, as being noisy and tending to frivolity. David H. Anders was the first Schwenkfelder to encourage and foster the study of band instruments in the Middle District, as well as amongst the entire Schwenkfelder comÂmunity. At the age of ten he with other boys and girls attended singing school in Worcester under the instruction of Prof. Trucksess. Having a clear high soprano voice, which was quickly recognized by his teacher as of extraordinary quality, young David was taken upon the knee of his instructor while the class was being taught.
THE CENTER POINT BAND.
When David was about 14 years of age, a group of young men met one day in Hendricks' Store, Center Point, Pa., and decided to organize a brass band.
Instruments were procured from a Philadelphia manufacturer and a teacher named Bailey came from the same city to instruct the boys.
1288Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHNVENKFELDER FAMILIES
David Anders chose the E-flat cornet, the leading instrument, and his progress was so rapid that he was chosen leader of the band within a year from its organization. Being thus encouraged in his efforts, be began the study of harmony and composition and soon was arranging and harmonizing pieces for the band, and also instructed the members in the use of the various instruments, so that the former teacher was discharged.
However, the parents of many of these "band boys" were very much opposed to these "noise-making instruments," and objected to having their boys belong to such a worldly organization. The climax was reached one Saturday night when the leader announced to his band that they had now proÂgressed sufficiently to warrant their being instructed in marching. They accordingly proceeded to march up and down the Skippack road to the great amazement of the residents.
The following day, being Sunday, Rev. Reuben Kriebel, pastor of the Worcester Schwenkfelder Church, in the presence of the leader and various members of the band discoursed upon the sinfulness and worldliness of such an exhibition as was given by the band on the night before. This denunciation, however, had the opposite effect, as it was thought by many to have been ill advised and too severe; the result was that a much milder attitude towards the organization was taken by a number of the parents of the members, as they realized that their sons were receiving instruction in au art that was not harmÂful to their welfare.
It is stated that Rev. Kriebel also became reconciled to the harmlessness of the institution later, and implied that he too would not object to joining the organization, did his ministerial duties not preÂvent. This "Center Point Band" became quite famous and popular, and was in frequent demand to furnish music on many public occasions, and later became attached to the Norris City Rifles, a military Company of Norristown, Pa. However, when this company was ordered to the front during the Civil War, the Band as an organization did not go with them.
Since that time the fame of David Anders as an instructor of bands and orchestras, as a composer and arranger of music, has spread over Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and thousands of young men now musically prominent received their instruction and achieved subsequent success as the result of his systematic and thorough training. Through the refining influence of his example and high ideals, many men were made better morally, socially and artistically.
During his long career Mr. Anders has been the instructor of many bands and other musical organizations, and continuously since 1887 has been one of the faculty of the Pennsylvania Training School, at Elwyn, Pa., as instructor of the band.

Samuel K. Anders died as a result of being struck by a trolley car in Norristown, Pa., while he was on his way to attend a meeting of the board of Prison Inspectors. He was a man whose quiet, unÂassuming devotion to duty, sterling integrity in his business life, and faithfulness in his devotion to the faith of his church, made him loved and esteemed by all. The following is quoted from "The Public Press," printed at the time of his death:
"No man in Montgomery County was held in higher respect, and few others had so strong a hold on the affections of the people. He never injured a living soul or a dumb animal. He never said harsh things about his fellow-men. He was always ready with the helping hand, and with the milk of human kindness for those in need or distress. He was a Christian gentleman of the finest type."
Mr. Anders had a fine career as a public official. He served nine years as County Commissioner of Montgomery County; fourteen years as Trustee of the State Hospital for the Insane; twenty years as Prison Inspector, long president of the board (serving in the last two positions gratuitously) ; and in all this long service no man ever questioned his integrity, his sound judgment, and his devotion to duty. He helped to organize the People's National Bank of Norristown and served as its president from 1888 to the time of his death.
Born in Norriton Twp., Montg. Co., Pa., Mr. Anders followed farming for many years, serving as a school director in his native community. He also acted as superintendent of the Union Sunday School that met in Metz's School, Norriton Twp., for four years, and was the superintendent of the Worcester Schwenkfelder Sunday School. Mr. Anders was the last surviving member of the building committee who had charge of the rebuilding of the Worcester church in 1882 at a cost of $6,000, which was dediÂcated free of debt. This was the first Schwenkfelder church to have a basement for Sunday School purÂposes, which innovation in church building met with considerable opposition at the time. Mr. Anders was also the last surviving charter member of the Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church, having been selected as a member in 1884 when the board was organized, and serving as treasurer at the time of his death.

Rev. William Schultz Anders received his education in the public schools of Worcester Twp., and then spent two years as a student at Mount Kirk Seminary, Providence Twp., Montg. Co., Pa., which was conducted for many years by the Rev. Henry Rodenbaugh, while pastor of Lower Providence Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Anders then engaged in school teaching, rounding out a period of eight years—one year in Towamencin Twp., three years in Worcester Twp., and four in Norriton Twp. After he had been enÂgaged to teach his first school in Towamencin, and during the summer before his school was ready to open, a vacancy in the teaching force occurred in Norriton Twp., near Mr. Anders' home. The presiÂdent of the Norriton School Board being a Schwenkfelder, and knowing the type of 'young man Mr. Anders was, called upon the latter, and offered him the position, holding out the inducements that as "Norriton" had a longer school term and paid higher salaries than did the Towamencin board, he ought by all means resign the position in Towamencin and accept the one nearer home, for in addition he could also board at his parental home; furthermore as the season was yet early, the Towamencin school board would have time to look for another teacher before the opening of school. But Mr. Anders had given his consent to teach in Towamencin, and his sterling conscience would not permit him to go back on his word.
When Mr. Anders relinquished his position in the schoolroom, he removed to the farm previously bought by his father, near the old homestead in Worcester Twp.; this farm he cultivated for a score of years until 1893, when he retired, and for the remainder of his life he lived in the house on the lot adÂjoining the farm.
On June 3, 1871, William S. Anders was called as a probationer to the ministry of the Schwenk-felder Church. After serving his term of probation, and successfully passing his examination, he was duly installed as one of the pastors of the Schwenkfelder Churches of the Middle District, which comÂprised the churches in Worcester, Towamencin, and Lower Salford.
The time when Rev. Anders was called to the ministry, was what might be called the transition period in the Schwenkfelder Church: it was the period of the introduction of the rites of baptism, and the institution of the Sacraments. The position of Rev. Anders was a trying one, but he did his duty fearlessly and conscientiously as his letters show.
That Rev. Anders served his congregation long and well, goes without saying. He is one of the men who stand out prominently as landmarks in the history of our sect. Notwithstanding the busy life he led, Rev. Anders allowed nothing to interfere with the work of the ministry, as long as his health permitted.
But on account of failing health, Rev. Anders tendered his resignation as pastor, a few years before his death. The Conference of the District, loath to part with his services, declined to accept his resignaÂtion; however, he was relieved of his regular duties, and asked to continue his ministration as long as his health permitted. Knowing the feelings of his congregation, Rev. Anders did not press the acceptance of his resignation, but continued to perform his ministerial duties as occasion demanded, very much against his physician's advice, and ofttimes with great pain and suffering, as was evident to those about him. Thus while conscientiously and patiently attempting to do his duty, Rev. Anders met his death suddenly in Florida. He was walking to the home of Hon. William D. Heebner, to rehearse for a wedÂding ceremony, which he was to perform two days later, when he fell over and expired in a few minutes. It had been the custom for Rev. Anders to spend the coldest parts of the winter in Florida, where the Anders brothers owned an extensive and productive orange grove. Having spent several weeks in Florida. Mr. and Mrs. Anders had planned to come north on the 21st, but he died on the 18th of Feb., 1907. Besides ministering to his congregation in a spiritual way, Rev. Anders, during his period of healthful activity, was identified with Sunday School work for more than forty years, serving at various times as superintendent of the school or as a teacher of a Bible Class.
For several years Rev. Anders served as school director of Worcester Township. He was also a director for many years of the Montgomery National Bank of Norristown, as was also his father. After 1889 he was a director of Ursinus College, Collegeville, Pa., thus showing his manifest interest in the cause of education.
Rev. Anders' last industrial activity was his help in the organization of the Souderton, Skippack and Fairview Electric Railway Company, which company he served as treasurer. He was also president of the Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church. [For further biographical data, see The Schwenkfeldian, Vol. IV, pp 26-30.]

James Meschter Anders, M. D., Ph., D., LL. D., was born on his father's farm near Fairview Village, Montg. Co., Pa. After attending the public schools of his native township and also of Norristown, Pa., Dr. Anders entered the academic department of the Theological Seminary, conducted under the ausÂpices of the Mennonite Church, at Wadsworth, Ohio, where he was prepared to enter college. Being especially apt in mathematics, Dr. Anders was appointed teacher of mental arithmetic during his career at Wadsworth. While still a boy on his father's farm, Dr. Anders had acquired some local fame as a mathematician. It is said that some of the prospective teachers of the neighborhood, when preparing to take the examinations under the county superintendent, would bring their problems in mathematics to Dr. Anders, and that the latter would solve them while following the plow on his father's farm. After finishing his preparatory course at Wadsworth, Dr. Anders entered the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, from which institution he was graduated in 1877, having "read medicine"

in the meantime with the late Dr. George K. Meschter of Worcester, Pa. In. this same year, 1877, he also received the degree of Ph. D. from the University of Pennsylvania, and was awarded a prize for the highest general average and for his original thesis on "The Transpiration of Plants."
During the first decade after his graduation Dr. Anders continued his studies in natural history subjects. His original investigations on certain plant functions led him to discover that all flowering plants and odoriferous foliage possess the power to convert the oxygen of the air into ozone. He was the first to show by experiment that when growing plants are cultivated indoors they tend to increase and maintain a proper degree of humidity in the air and are therefore beneficial to health. A few of the articles published by Dr. Anders along this line are the following: "Hygienic and Therapeutic RelaÂtions of House Plants," "Beneficial Influence of Plants," "The Exhalation of Ozone by Flowering Plants," "House Plants and Lung Diseases," "Sanitary Influence of Forests," "The Relation of Forests to Health Resorts," etc. As a result of Dr. Anders' investigations along these lines he was tendered in 1885 the chair of Forestry and the Relation of Plant Life to Health, in the Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila.
In his professional capacity, Dr. Anders has served as visiting physician on the staff of the ProtestÂant Episcopal Hospital of Phila., the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital, Philadelphia Hospital, etc. He has served as consulting physician to the Jewish Hospital and the Widener Home for Crippled Children in Phila., as well as the Hospital for the Insane at Norristown, Pa. Dr. Anders' connection with the Medico-Chirurgical College began in 1889 when he was made lecturer on "materia medica" and was advanced to the chair of Hygiene and Pediatrics the following year. Two years later he was elected to the chair of Clinical Medicine, and in 1893 was elected Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine, which chair he held for twenty-five years. In 1890 Dr. Anders was elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the Medico-Chirurgical College and Hospital, which position he held until the College was consolidated with the University of Pennsylvania, having held the office of vice-president for five years. That Dr. Anders has achieved a national reputation as a diagnostician, is also worthy of note.
In 1898 Dr. Anders published his large work, "The Theory and Practice of Medicine," which is the most widely used textbook of its kind in the medical schools of the country, the fourteenth edition of this work having been issued in September, 1920. In addition to the publication of his textbook, Dr. Anders has contributed more than one hundred articles to the leading medical periodicals, scientific and other magazines, and has read papers before the foremost medical and scientific associations of the nation.
Upon the merging of the Medico-Chirurgical College with the University of Pennsylvania Medical Department in 1916, which project was managed by Dr. Anders, he automatically became Professor of Medicine and Clinical Medicine in the Graduate School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Anders has been honored by the different mayors of the city of Philadelphia by being selected at various times as a member of the Mayor's Advisory Board, and by appointments to the Board of Health. In 1898 Ursinus College conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL. D. Dr. Anders is a member of the leading medical associations of the nation; for many years he has been a member of the Councils of the State Forestry Association, and chairman of the Publication Committee of the City Parks Association. He has served as president of the local medical clubs and county association, and in 1902 delivered the oration in medicine for the American Medical Association in New Orleans. In 1908 he was elected vice-president and a member of the Central Executive Committee of the Sixth International Congress on Tuberculosis held at Washington, D. C. He also founded the library of the Philadelphia County Medical Society in 1910. In the same year the French Government signally honored Dr. Anders in recognition of his standing in medicine, and especially of his discovery regarding the innate ability of flowering plants to convert the oxygen into ozone, by electing him an "Officier de l'Instruction Publique et des Beaux Arts." In 1913 he was elected president of the American ClimaÂtological and Clinical Society.
It was also through the influence of Dr. Anders that in 1917 an annual celebration of "Health Day" was instituted, and he was instrumental, together with Dr. John D. Roberts, in creating a new section on Industrial Medicine and Public Health in the College of Physicians.
During the World War, Dr. Anders at the request of Gov. Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania, formed the Medical Advisory Board for the examination of registrants entering the United States military service, and he served as chairman of the board until the close of hostilities abroad. In addition, he was a memÂber of the Medical Section of the Pennsylvania State Council for Defense, and served as vice-president of the Senior Medical Service Corps and chairman of the Committee on Physical Research, which was a nation-wide movement to improve the physical standard of the American men and women. In March, 1921, Dr. Anders was unanimously elected president of the American College of Physicians at

the annual meeting held in Baltimore, and on the following June 4, at the meeting of the American Therapeutic Association, held in Washington, he was chosen president of that society as well.
Although Dr. Anders' professional duties take up the greater part of his time, he has by no means neglected his church affiliations, as his home church has always enlisted his active interest. He has been a member of the Board of Missions of the Schwenkfelder Church since its incorporation and was instrumental in having the Board establish a mission in Philadelphia. From the time of its organizaÂtion he has served as Moderator of the First Schwenkfelder Church of Philadelphia. Dr. Anders is also International Councilor of the Drexel Biddle Bible Classes and a member of the Board of Directors of the Drexel Biddle Military Training Corps. On the Board of Trustees of Perkiomen School, Dr. Anders serves as vice-president, and is likewise a member of the Board of Trustees of Ursinus College. In 1920 when the Society of the Descendants of the Schwenkfeldian Exiles was organized, Dr. Anders was honored by being elected the first president.
Someone has truly said of Dr. Anders that he is "one of the leaders in all public-spirited movements, as well as a foremost member of his profession."

Edwin S. Anders was chosen a minister of the Society of Schwenkfelders in 1886, and has served his district faithfully ever since. The selection of Mr. Anders was the last instance of the Schwenkfelder Church electing a layman to the ministry, as all pastors since that time have had the benefit of a college and theological training. Notwithstanding the fact that Rev. Anders is the only unsalaried pastor, he has always given freely and cheerfully of his time to perforni the pastoral duties incumbent upon a rural minister.
Rev. Edwin S. Anders owns one of the finest farms in Towamencin Twp., Montg. Co., Pa., always kept in a fine state of cultivation. Both Rev. and Mrs. Anders are noted for their genuine hospitality. Being leaders in the community they are ofttimes called upon to give advice, and none go away unÂrewarded. The "latch string is always out" for neighbors and friends and also for those needing assistÂance. Many families have been blessed by the generous and unostentatious benefactions of the Anders family.
Rev. Anders has never sought public office for he is averse to entering politics, but he has served for many years as director of financial institutions. He is also a trustee of Perkiomen School, a member of the Board of Publication of the Schwenkfelder Church, and is one of the most active members of the Schwenkfelder Historical Library Committee. By diligent and persistent search of the garrets, closets, and store-rooms of many homes, Rev. Anders has discovered hundreds of books, papers, and relics that now repose in the Library at Pennsburg; he is truly a most enthusiastic collector of historical documents and relics, ofttimes delving into his own purse to obtain articles that will not be given gratuitously. The Schwenkfelder Church owes Rev. Anders a deep debt of gratitude for the energy and sacrifices he has so generously made for the welfare of its various organizations.

Director of Music at Widener Home for Crippled Children, Phila.; Assistant director of band at Girard College, Phila. Res., 1527 N. 17th St., Phila., Pa. (1922.)
A worthy son of a worthy musical father, Horace R. Anders was reared in a musical atmosphere and began at an early age the study of brass band and orchestral instruments together with the piano and organ, becoming an instructor of music at the age of sixteen years.
Born in the vicinity of Skippack, Pa., his parents moved to Philadelphia, when Horace was eleven years of age. The principal of the school which young Anders attended, noticed the boy's efforts at the piano and assigned him the regular duty of playing the opening march for each school session. In the meantime it is said that young Anders was surreptitiously practicing on his father's piccolo, when the parent surprised the boy one day by walking into the room unannounced, and at once encouraged the lad.
The father's occupation as an instructor of bands had by this time grown to such proportions that it was impossible for him to continue without assistance, particularly in the matter of arranging and copying parts, for at that time there was no means of duplicating parts as at present, and band teachers were obliged to copy the parts by hand. So at the age of twelve young Anders was set to work to dupliÂcate parts for the various band instruments. This work gave the young musician an insight into the possibilities of the various instruments which stood him in good stead later on.
In 1880 Horace R. Anders organized the "Weber Amateur Orchestra" which continued in existence for ten years and a number of its members became musically prominent.
In 1892 the Athletic Band of Philadelphia engaged him as director of that organization. The folÂlowing year this band played for twelve weeks at the Lemon Hill Pavilion in Fairmount Park, Phila., and in 1894 filled a fifteen weeks' engagement at Germania Park on the Delaware River, where Jules Levy, then premier cornet virtuoso of the world, was featured with the band. In 1895 the band became attached to the 3rd Regiment N. G. P., and henceforth was known as "Anders' Third Regiment Band." Prof. Anders was First Sergeant and Bandmaster of this regiment, and also leader of the First Brigade Band which was attached to Headquarters' Staff under Gen. John G. Schall. After seven years with the National Guard, Prof. Anders applied for and received an honorable discharge. This was in 1903. It was with this 3rd Regiment Band that Prof. Anders filled long engagements at Atlantic City, N. J., Wilmington, Del., Asbury Park, N. J., and other places, in addition to the Phila. engagements.
In connection with the Peace Jubilee in 1898, Prof. Anders led the great chorus of three thousand voices with his band at the re-dedication of Independence Hall, Phila., and conducted the public conÂcerts every night during the week of celebration of the victory over Spain. Again on Grand Army Day, Sept. 5, 1899, Prof. Anders led the big chorus of three thousand five hundred voices with his band on the City Hall Plaza, Phila., having personally written and harmonized every song used on both of the above occasions. He also conducted the big band of one hundred musicians in the Concert and promenade at the Export Exposition Building for the Knights Templar Tournoi, on May 20, 1903.
Prof. Anders has received many substantial testimonials and decorations during his career which are highly prized. In 1907 he was appointed instructor of Band at the Widener Memorial Industrial Training School for crippled children in Phila., and since 1911 has been Associate Instructor of the Cadet Band at Girard College, Phila.; prior to the World War he was director of the students' band at the University of Pennsylvania.

Howard S. Anders was born in Norriton Twp., Montg. Co., Pa. He attended Central High School, Phila., Pa., from which he was graduated as A. B. in 1885 and A. M. in 1892; he was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania as M. D. in 1890, with honorable mention for thesis on the relation of street width to the mortality of tuberculosis. Dr. Anders was resident physician of the Presbyterian Hospital in Phila., Aug. 1, 1890 to Aug. 1, 1891; instructor in clinical medicine at the Medico-Chirurgical College from 1893-1899; also professor of physical diagnosis of the diseases of the chest and abdomen. For five years he was physician to the Samaritan Hospital, Phila., and since 1905 physician to the Phila. General Hospital in the tuberculosis department.
Dr. Anders is the author of a text book on Physical Diagnosis, and of about thirty monographs and pamphlets on medical topics and matters concerning public health, individual communion cup, tuberÂculosis, dust-borne diseases, influenza and weather phenomena, and typhoid fever. He is a member of the American Medical Association, American Climatological Association, and American Association for the Advancement of Science; the Pennsylvania Forestry Association, ex-pres., and director of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis; director of the National Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis. [See Who's Who in Pa.-1908.]
