Todd, William
, M.D., Physician and Surgeon, Lumsden. Dr. Todd is the eldest son of Mr. Thomas Todd, of Waikiwi, an old Otago settler, and received his primary education at the North-East Valley school and in Chicago. After six years' experience as a chemist and druggist—two in Timaru and four in Auckland, in addition to the term of his apprenticeship in Dunedin—he proceeded to the United States and studied medicine at the University of
Southern California and at Coper's Medical College, San Francisco, gaining his degree at the latter institution. After practising at Los Angeles, California, for some time, he returned to New Zealand, securing registration under the Medical Practitioners Act, 1869. In 1896, Dr. Todd commenced practice at Otautau, and is now (1905) settled in Lumsden.
