In 1853, the Dr. Humphrey came to New York and at once took the lead in homoeopathic circles. He assisted in forming and was prominent in The Central New York Homoeopathic Medical Society, which was subsequently transformed into The New York State Homoeopathic Medical Society. He was made Chairman of the “Bureau for the Augmentation and Improvement of the Materia Medica” of the American Institute of Homoeopathy, and later was called to the chair of Homoeopathic Institutes and Practice of Medicine in his old college. He then began to introduce his discovery of combinations of medicine for popular use which he has termed Homoeopathic Specifics.
