Pitcher was elected president of the American 

 Medical Association, at its meeting in Detroit 

 in 1856; he edited the Peninsular Medical Jour- 

 nal, 1 855- 1 858 ; he was president of the Old Ter- 

 ritorial Medical Society for fourteen years ; and 

 president of the Michigan State Medical Society, 

 1855-1856. 



After a long, active life he began to feel rather 

 tired. Even botanical fields are hard to the feet 

 when life lingers in the shadows of seventy-five 

 years; moreover, he had an inoperable bladder 

 trouble which demanded heroic patience. The 

 end came on April 5, 1872.
