According to an 1886 medical directory, Dr. Kilmer later graduated from Bennett College of Eclectic Medicine and Surgery. He received his diploma in 1875 from that Chicago Institution.

Further medical training was obtained in Wisconsin, where he studied botanic practices and still more training was acquired later in New York and Philadelphia. He set up practice and a medical dispensary in Binghamton, New York. He was shortly thereafter joined by his younger brother, Jonas M.

Together they expanded sales locally to the point where they had to rebuild their dispensary around 1882. A five story building was with laboratory was constructed and fitted with the most up to date bottling equipment available capable of filling over 2,000 bottles an hour.
