He was the author of four books: "MedicalReform," "Philosophy of Human Life," "The Tree of Life," and"Orthopothy."Dr. Jennings was kind, genial and respected by all. He had great patienceand charity, never showing any sign of irritation or bitterness orfanaticism, as do some reformers whose opinions are not accepted at once.His death made a void in the hearts and homes of many whom his kindnesshad blessed.--See extracts in American Family Antiquity, p. 190.
