Eli Grellet Jones, M.D. (brother of Richard M. Jones) was the youngest child of Eli and Sibyl Jones. He was born in China, Maine, July 26, 1850. The most of his early education was obtained at Oak Grove Seminary, Vassalboro, Me., and at Friends School, Providence, R.I. In 1867 he decided to study medicine, and in 1869 he studied under Dr. F. A. Roberts, a homoeopathic physician in Vassalboro, Me.

He also spent some time under the instruction of Dr. D. P. Bolster of Weeks' Mills, Me., now of Augusta, a physician of the Allopathie School.

In the summer of 1869 he attended the Portland Medical School of Instruction at Portland, Me. In he winter of 1869-70, he attended the Eclectic Medical College at Philadelphia, Pa., graduating in the winter of 1870-71. In the fall of 1871 he graduated at Dartmouth Medical College, Hanover, N. H. For several years he engaged in country practice in New Hampshire and Vermont. In 1872 he published the New England Medical Journal. In 1873 he held a professorship in a medical college in Philadelphia, Pa. In 1875 he was supervisor of schools in N. H. In 1881 he was appointed Professor of Materia Medica in the Medical Department of Detroit University, Detroit, Mich. For the past eight years he has been engaged in the practice of his profession in New Jersey. It has always been his ambition to cure cases given up as incurable by other doctors, and his success in the treatment of difficult cases has made his name famous throughout the state. His discovery of a cure for cancer has been considered one of the most wonderful discoveries of this age and generation. In his practice he has always been liberal and progressive--ready to "seize upon truth wherever found, on Christian or on heathen ground." Although not a member of any church yet he is a man of strong religious convictions. He is a prominent secret society man; a past officer of the Good Templars, Improved Order of Red Men, Knights of the Golden Eagle, and Knights of Malta. At present he is Deputy Supreme Commander of the Knights of Malta for New Jersey, also R. E. G. Junior Warden of the Supreme Commandery of America. He has also been more or less active member of I. O. O. F., Knights of Pythias Brotherhood of the Union, Temple of Honor and Sons of Temperance. He has always been a strong temperance man; from childhood up he never had the slightest taste or inclination for strong drink. At present his home is in Paterson, N. J. He married and has three children: 1. Walter Grellet Jones; 2. Cassie May Jones; 3. Mabel Florence Jones. The latter two children by a former marriage. He has been a special contributor to several medical journals, and has also written several poems that have been published in the leading newspapers of the country. In September, 1890, he received the degree of Ph.D from the American Society of Arts and Sciences for his discoveries in the successful treatment of cancers and tumors without surgical operation. He is well known to the medical profession throughout the United States as the manager of the Medical Exchange.
