The institution for research in *Unani Tibbi*, founded by Hakim Ajmal Khan, came to an end after his death. But its noble object was taken up by the Hamdard Dawakhana of Hakim Abdu'l-Hamid of Delhi, who established the Institute of History of Medicine and Medical Research with a hospital, a herbarium, medical library and a well-staffed department to do research according to modern scientific system, on the history of medicine in general and on the *Unani Tibbi* medicaments in particular, and endowed upon it a very large part of the income of the Hamdard Dawakhana.
