Thomas Lonsdale Leeming (1837-1902) was born in England and spent his childhood in Canada. He took charge of the family's Canadian business, Thomas Leeming & Co., and began a drug import business in New York with exclusive rights to a number of pharmaceutical products. Joseph Leeming (1869-1906) and Thomas Lonsdale Leeming, Jr.(1873-1925) together with their father constituted the firm of Thomas Leeming & Co and the Montreal house of Leeming Miles & Co. They were also managers of the American house of the Swiss Nestlé Company, around 1900. In 1961, the Thomas L. Leeming Company was sold to Pfizer.
This medal's obverse is based on figures from The Healers, an oaken bas relief Hardin created for the Stamford Hospital. Allevare Sedare Sanare roughly translates to "lighten slake cure," at least one of which every medical compound should be able to achieve.
