Vivian Putnam writes:

“My father, Dr.W.J.McCorrmick, went to medical college in Michigan and interned in Chicago. He worked several years at the Battle Creek Sanitarium after graduation and then married my mother Dr. Florence De Llorbe who also graduated in Michigan, and was an anesthesiologist. After marriage, they moved to Toronto. Canada, and started the High Park Sanitarium in West Toronto. In order to practice in Canada my father had to graduate from the University of Toronto. This he did. He also built a swimming pool for his patients as well. In 1922 my father rented the sanitarium to the Saratoga Hospital and he devoted himself to private practice and vitamin research.

“In 1922 after my mother died, my father no longer operated the High Park Sanitarium, but rented the building at 32 Gothic Ave. to the Strathcona Maternity Hospital. Dr. McCormick built and operated swimming pools (two pools 100 ft. long ) at 1962 Bloor St. Toronto 1913 to 1962. Original pool built for patients of the Sanitarium, but later enlarged when changed for use by general public.

“Dr. McCormick attended and graduated Toronto University Medical School in 1906. He then bought and established The High Park Sanitarium at 32 Gothic Ave. in West Toronto, Canada. 1906 - 1922.

“He returned to general practice 1922 at 16 Gothic Ave. Toronto and did research and wrote medical papers on vitamin research until 1964 when he retired to 87 Old Mill Drive, Toronto.

“For his research he was made a member of the American Academy of Applied Nutrition. Dr. McCormick died in 1968.”

“Glad to see people are still carrying on his research. It makes me feel good to know where I am from.”
