Cleave's Biographical Cyclopaedia of Homœopathic Physicians and Surgeons
Kellogg, George M.D. of New Orleans, Lousiana was born in New York City, March 11th, 1811. He was the eldest son of J.W. Kellogg, who for twenty years was President of Erasmus Hall, Flatbush, Long Island. At that ancient seat of learning he received his academic education. At the age of seventeen he commenced the study of his profession under the supervision of Dr. J. Vanderveer, a noted physician of his day. From 1830 to 1831 young Kellogg was a member of the class at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, but business of a pressing nature calling him west for a couple of years he received his diploma from the University of Indiana and the same year on his return to New York was admitted to membership by the State Medical Society.
In June 1833 Dr. Kellogg married the daughter of Mr. John E. Van Antwerp of New York City, a prominent merchant and well known gentleman. He commenced his professional career in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and in 1837 was induced by flattering offers, to remove to Yazoo City, Mississippi, where he formed a partnership with Dr. Washington Dorsey, one of the most distinguished physicians in the South. In 1840 while on a visit to New York for the benefit of his health his attention was attracted to homœopathy by the successful treatment of a member of his family. When under the most able treatment the case seemed hopeless it was brought to a successful termination by the skill of Dr. Granger who at that time was regarded by the profession as an arrant empyric. This led to a renewal of an intimacy with a fellow student, Dr. Robert Rossman, a successful advocate of homeopathy in Brooklyn who aided his friend Kellogg in an investigation of the principle of similia similibus curantur. Witnessing its successful application to diseases under the intelligent administration of Dr. Rossman, Dr. Kellogg announced himself a convert to the then unpopular theory. In 1844 he embarked for New Orleans, but on his arrival finding it impossible under the then existing stringent law as to license medical practitioners, he concluded to abandon the field for the time being.
Subsequently Dr. Kellogg accepted a partnership with Dr. F.A.W. Davis of Natchez, an influential convert to the cause. Here he remained until the offensive and unjust laws had been abrogated in Louisiana and he then returned to New Orleans. Here he engaged actively in his profession a coworker with the lamented Dr. Leon. In 1853 his health compelled him to seek a more northern and less malarious climate and as the ground was unbroken at Nashville, he received encouragement to inaugurate homeopathy in that city. His first essay was to publish a hook for local circulation, the title of which told its object An Answer to the Question: What is Homœopathy? It was a plain elucidation of the principle, addressed to nonprofessional readers. It was favorably received and assisted in establishing the practice on a firm basis. The health of Dr. Kellogg did not recuperate as was hoped for and he concluded to fall back upon his normal latitude and returning to the State of New York located in Troy, where he remained actively engaged in his profession until the occupation of New Orleans by General Butler, when he received a most flattering invitation from him to return to that city as an expert in climatic diseases. Actuated by a sense of duty and patriotism he accepted the proposition, and on reporting to the commanding general, was immediately commissioned Surgeon of the 2nd Regiment Louisiana Volunteers. This was the second white regiment raised in the State and he was ordered to Jackson Barracks, New Orleans as Post Surgeon. On the troops taking the field he was appointed Brigade Surgeon on General Dudley's staff and so remained during the organization of the campaign against Port Hudson. When the advance was made Dr. Kellogg was ordered to assume the duties of Medical Director on the staff of the Division Commander Major General C.C. Augur, and acted as such at the Battle of Plains Store. He served during the whole of that severe campaign until the capitulation of Port Hudson. He was then detached and sent to New York in charge of the wounded on board of the steamer Mantanzas. He was fortunate in turning over his charge in good condition to the Medical Director at New York. On his return to his department he was detailed for duty at the St. Louis and University Hospitals, acting in the mean time as the medical adviser of the family of General Banks and when the general was superseded, he tendered through him his resignation, which was accepted, and the appointment of Pension Surgeon conferred upon him. This position he has held up to the present time.
During the military occupation of New Orleans he held several special military appointments, one of which was his appointment by Major General Hancock, on the reorganization of the City Government as Alderman, which position he held for some time. A veteran of forty years, he is still actively engaged in the daily routine of his profession.
