The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Nelson, Marlborough & Westland Provincial Districts]

[introduction]

The pioneers of Marlborough in cluded such medical men at Drs Richardson, Renwick, Vickerman, Allison, Stewart, and Horme. Of these only Dr. Stewart and Dr. Horme were in regular practice, but the others, who were engaged in pastoral pursuits, lent their professional services in cases of necessity. Members of the medical profession practising in the four chief cities of New Zealand are well represented in the published volumes of the Cyclopedia; but in some of the smaller towns the compilers have found medical men less willing to impart information about themselves in their professional capacity. Hence meagreness where, otherwise, there would have been fullness of detail in the medical section. There are five medical practitioners, two chemists and four dentists in Blenheim.
