HOWARD SCHULTZ ANDERS, M.D., was born in Norriton, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, November 12, 1866, son of Nathaniel Heebner and Regina Gerhard Anders. His ancestry on both sides is German, the first American representatives of the families having arrived from Silesia, in Southeastern, Prussia, in the early part of the eighteenth century. They were followers of Count Casper Schwenkfeld, a contemporary of Luther, mostly plain, industrious, frugal yet prosperous, intelligent and spiritually-minded farmer folks. Persecuted on account of their religious beliefs at home, they settled in eastern Pennsylvania. Some were ministers of the Gospel in the Schwenkfeldian Church, which in doctrine and practice bears a resemblance to both the Baptist and Quaker denominations. His ancestors on his fathers side exhibited considerable mechanical talent, especially in the manufacture of agricultural implements, Dr. Anders received his early training in the public schools of Philadelphia, graduating from the Central High School after a four-year course with the degree of Bachelor of Arts, in 1885. He received an honorary degree of Master of Arts from that institution in 1892, being chosen to deliver the Master's address at Commencement, when his subject was "Public Sanitary Aid Indispensable to the General Health." In the meantime, from 1885 to 1887, he was employed as clerk in a large cloth manufactory, where he gained useful experience in business. he left this service to matriculate in the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine, may 1, 1890. His thesis on the subject of "Street Width: Its Canal Relation to the Mortality-Rate of Phthisis" was honorably mentioned, and was published in the University Medical Magazine, being widely quoted from afterward in the London Lancet, the Journal d'Hygiene of Paris the Scientific American, and other technical journals. After competitive examination in April 1890, Dr. Anders received appointments as Resident Physician to the Philadelphia, German and Presbyterian hospitals. He accepted the last named of these positions, and served for a term of one year, until August 1891. He thereupon began the private practice of general medicine in Philadelphia, and has been engaged with his profession in that city ever since. In 1892 he was appointed Instructor of Clinical Medicine in the Medico-Chirurgical College, Phladelphia, and in September 1894 he became Lecturer and Clinical Instructor in Physical Diagnosis in the same College, a connection which he still retains. For two years he was Out-Door Consulting Physician to the Philadelphia Lying-In Charity, and since 1896 he has been Attending Physician to the Samaritan Hospital. Dr. Anders was a pioneer in advocating the use of individual communion cups on sanitary grounds, and has done extensive and persistent work in agitating the reform in medical and religious journals. he is a most industrious contributor to medical literature. he is now at work on a Text-Book of Inductive Physical Diagnosis for students and practitioners use. His contributions to journals and transactions include upwards of twenty titles, among which are the following: Cup Movement, "The Progress of the Individual Cup Movement, especially among Churches;" "the Individual Communion Cup and its Critics;" "the Relation of Local Meteorolugic Conditions to the Influenza Epidemic in Philadelphia, Winter of 1898-1899;" "Is Alcohol a "Partial Food"? and "The Necessity for State Aid in the Treatment of the Comsumptive Poor." Dr. Anders is a member of the Philadelphia County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, the American Medical Association, the American Public Health Association, the American Climatological Association and the Philadelphia Pediatric Society. He is Vice-President of the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis; Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Intercollegiate Young Men's Christian Association of Philadelphia; and is a member of the Pennsylvania German Society, the Baptist Social Union and the Public Education Association. He is also Secretary of the Class of 1890 Medical Alumni.

Dr. Anders married December 27, 1893, Mabel Gertrude Gilling. He resides in Philadelphia.
