DR. L. W. FOULKE,
The subject of this sketch was born at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in August, 1809.
His father, George D. Foulke, a physician and surgeon, was a graduate of Dickinson college, Carlisle, and of the Medical University of Maryland, one of the leading institutions of its character in the United States.
The son was reared with all the advantages superior social position could secure, and in 1825, was sent to Dickinson college, which was then extensively patronized, and from which he graduated in 1829. In 1832, after the usual course of attendance upon the lectures of the Medical University of Maryland, he graduated as a doctor of medicine, just thirty years after his father had done so from the same college, which still continued to maintain a high standing, having among its faculty some of the first men in their departments to be found in the country. ...
