Dr. Ferdinand Seeger (1848–1923) was a
homeopathic physician from New York City and the founder of Hahnemann Hospital.
He once refused the Democratic nomination for mayor in order to focus on his medical practice. He was known
for his efforts to treat both wealthy and destitute patients ("Ferdinand Seeger, M.D.," Journal
of the American Institute of Homeopathy 15 (April 1923), 956). See also the obituary for Seeger
as printed in the March
10, 1923, issue of Time magazine). Seeger sent an additional
check for $5 on April 18, 1876, and Walt Whitman
forwarded two volumes on April 21, 1876 (Whitman's
Commonplace Book, Charles E. Feinberg Collection of the Papers of Walt Whitman,
1839–1919, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.).
