He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1856, the son of A. B. Arnold, who has been one of the Professors of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore for the past twenty-seven years. The family  were early residents of Baltimore, and on the mother’s side are of Scotch descent, and German on the father’s. Our subject received his early education in Loyola College, in his native city, and in 1870 entered the Georgetown (District of Columbia) University, where he graduated in 1873, receiving his degree as Bachelor of Arts. He at once commenced the study of medicine at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore, where he he graduated in 1876, after a full course of three years, and received the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Dr. Arnold then returned to Georgetown University, where he passed the required examinations, and received the degree of Master of Arts. He commenced the practice of his profession in Baltimore, continuing until 1879, when he went to Europe and for three years attended the universities of Vienna, Berlin and Paris, making a special study of diseases of the throat and chest, and at the University of Vienna received the degrees in those special departments of surgery. After his return to American Dr. Arnold remained but a few months in practice in Baltimore, but came to California in 1882, and has since been engaged in the special treatment of diseases of the throat and chest. He is at present the Laryngologist of the San Francisco Polyclinic, of which he was the one of the founders; is Consultant in his specialty at the San Francisco Women and Children’s Hospital; and is a member of the State Medical Society of California, and of the County Medical Society of San Francisco.
