A biographical sketch of Alexander Nicholas TALLEY, M.D. (1827-1897) appears in HISTORY OF MEDICINE IN S.C. 1825-1900, by Joseph Ioor Waring, M.D. (Charleston, SC: 1967). The article is a bit too long to transcribe into this message, but if you would like a copy, email me your s-mail address and I'll be glad to send it to you.
