Whilst, however, he was seeking introductions to some of the chief families in the latter neighbourhood, Fothergill advised Dorchester, and Cuming accordingly went thither in 1739, carrying with him recommendations from influential physicians in London. Cuming was a man of modest and unaspiring mind ; paucis contentus vivere didici, he says of himself " I have learned to live content with few things " ; but his sterling worth, his learning, and the interest he took in his patients, gave him in course of time a large practice amongst nearly all the county families, who regarded him as not only their physician, but their friend.
