DR. ARCHIBALD NEIL SINCLAIR, Physician. A specialist on tuberculosis and 
signally honored by admission as a fellow of the American College of 
Physicians, Dr. Archibald N. Sinclair is known throughout the United States 
for his research work on the white plague. For years he has contributed to 
numerous medical journals, and in Hawaii has devoted his time to the 
eradication of tuberculosis, both through private practise and his connection 
with Leahi Home, of which he is a director.
  Dr. Sinclair attended Punahou and received his medical degree in Glasgow, 
Scotland, in 1894, and for three years practised medicine in Yaxley, England. 
In 1897 he returned to his boyhood home in Hawaii, and practised in Waianae 
for one year. From 1900 to 1909 he was city physician of Honolulu, and from 
1900 to 1919 was also associated with the United States Public Health Service 
as acting assistant surgeon. He was made a director of Leahi Home in 1900, and 
from 1911 to 1916 was physician in charge of the tuberculosis bureau and 
bacteriological department of the Territorial Board of Health. During the 
World War he was appointed bacteriologist and pathologist for the Board of 
Health. He has also been engaged in private practise since 1916, specializing 
on pulmonary ailments, radiography and bacteriology.
  Dr. Sinclair is a Mason, past commander, Knights Templar; a Shriner, 
district deputy supreme chancellor, Knights of Pythias; a member of the 
Honolulu Ad and University clubs, Territorial Board of Medical Examiners, 
American Society of Immunologists, American Medical Association, American

of Hawaii.
  Born in New York City, Jan. 20, 1871, he is the son of Archibald and Mary 
(MacInnes) Sinclair. When he was a small boy his father came to Honolulu to 
erect the Palace for the well known contractor, E. B. Thomas. The elder 
Sinclair remained in Honolulu for many years in the contracting business, and 
among the buildings he erected were the Army Service Club and the old Opera 
House.
  In 1900 Dr. Sinclair married Flora Margaret Perry, daughter of Jason Perry, 
former consul-general in Hawaii for Portugal, and a sister of Justice Perry of 
the territorial Supreme Court. They have one daughter, Miriam E. Sinclair, a 
graduate of the University of California and an instructor of Latin at Punahou.
