1888, when he resumed the study of medicine at the New York Polyclinic Medical 
College, taking a post-graduate course.  From March 1889 to July 1892, Dr. 
McDuffie resided in Anniston, Ala., practicing his profession, and at the end 
of that time he removed to his present home at Columbus and has resided there 
ever since.  He is a member of the Georgia State Medical Association, and 
while a citizen of Alabama was a member of the examining board of censors for 
Calhoun County and secretary of the Calhoun County Medical Society.  Dr.
