Biography on the back of the image reads:

While serving as a representative of the Broome County Medical Society in the New York State Society, Dr. Davis offered resolutions calling for a lengthening and grading of the medical course of instruction. It was the discussion of these resolutions which led to the calling of a National Medical Convention in 1846 at NYU Medical Department. This was the organizational meeting of the American Medical Association.

Dr. Davis graduated from the College of Physicians of Western New York at Fairfield before he was 21 years of age. Dr. Davis served on the faculties of several medical schools and also helped to organize the Illinois Medical Society and the Chicago Medical Society.

Well-known as a writer and orator, Dr. Davis also edited several professional journals and in 1883 became the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. Temperance was one of his favorite topics and he lectured frequently on subjects connected with hygiene and popular science.

Medical students said that they acquired knowledge from all of their professors but their inspiration came from him.
