  • Sir John Weir: the Queen’S Doctor
    SIR JOHN WEIR: THE QUEEN’S DOCTOR By Ken McNaughton At a glittering gathering of the Clan Macnachtan Association in Mayfair on 24 June 1965, an elderly gentleman bounced up to me and said gaily, “Are you a doctor? I’m a doctor. I’m the Queen’s doctor!” I was a callow youth of 25 years, an Australian post-graduate student making my way in London, book-educated but not yet worldly wise, and may have missed an opportunity to get to know a genuine celebrity. In a Christmas tape-recording to my mother in Australia I described the occasion: “But at one stage this rather elderly gentleman— elderly and stout—came up to me and said to me in a rather aggressive fashion, “Are you a doctor? I’m a doctor. I’m the Queen’s doctor!” I tried not to giggle too much and listened to him for about five minutes. He had many stories to tell and I had my tongue in my cheek and I was rubbishing [making fun of] him as hard as I could without making it appear too obvious when, after about five minutes, I realized he wasn’t rubbishing at all, he was deadly serious, and that’s true” [1]. Figure 1. Sir John Weir, Physician Royal to British monarchs for fifty years. John Weir was born in Paisley, ten miles west of Glasgow, on 19 October 1879. He attended school in Glasgow, with an emphasis on science, and graduated in medicine from Glasgow University in 1907. After a sabbatical year at Hering Medical College in Chicago 1908-9, he returned to the London Homeopathic Hospital as Consultant Physician in 1910, and rose to become President of the Faculty of Homeopathy in 1923.

By Dana Ullman I believe what prevents men from accepting the homeopathic principles is ignorance, but ignorance is criminal when human lives are at stake. No honest man faced with the facts of homeopathy can refuse to accept it. He has no choice. When I had to face it, I had to become a follower. There was no choice if I were to continue to be an honest man. ...

The British Royal Family has been known for being exceedingly conservative and embodying traditional ideals of family and public service, but they are also known to have special appreciation and even advocacy for certain unconventional treatments that really worked, whether conventional medicine accepted them or not. Such were their experiences with Mr. Logue’s speech therapy and the respected and widely practiced, but often misunderstood science and art of homeopathic medicine. King George VI was neither the first nor the last of the British royals to use and benefit from homeopathy.

Ken (or Lord Aaron Kenneth Ward Atherton, to give him his proper title) is one such person. He decided that we all needed a strong antidote to the ‘no evidence’ claims so frequently vaunted by the anti-homeopathy campaigners, and he organised a truly unforgettable one-day event (held at the Royal Society of Medicine, London), to remind us that Lionel (LRM) has been a homeopath for ‘proper’ science can be fascinating, inspiring and truly uplifting. over 20 years, training at the now defunct Ken’s impressive line-up of presenters were all internationally re- London College of Homeopathy, and the nowned scientists, including two Nobel laureates, and the theme Orion course in advanced homeopathy.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
