C. W. Card, M. D., whose office is at No. 502 Devisedero street, San Francisco, has been a resident of California since 1876, and has been engaged in the practice of medicine since 1884. He was born in Ontario, Canada, in 1861, the son of Ebenezer Card, who was formerly engaged in mercantile pursuits in Canada, but is now engaged in Fruit-raising in San Leandro, he having purchase a ranch there. The family have been residents of Canada for generations.
Our subject received his education in the public schools of his native place, and later in the public schools of Port Huron, Michigan, and in San Francisco. He commenced the study of medicine in 1880, under the preceptorship of Dr. Theodore Kellogg of Los Angeles, with whom he studied for one year. In 1881 he entered the Cooper Medical College of San Francisco, graduating there in 1884, after a full three years’ course, and receiving his degree as Doctor of Medicine. He entered at once into the practice of medicine, being appointed Surgeon for the Oceanic Steamship Company, in which service he remained two years, being employed on the steamship plying between San Francisco and Australia. Dr. Card was then appointed Surgeon of the Carlisle Gold Mining Company, operating in Grant county, New Mexico, where he remained for one and a half years. He then came to San Francisco, where he engaged in private practice in 1887, and where he has since continued. Dr. Card is a member of the County Medical Society of San Francisco, and of the Alumni Association of Cooper Medical College.
