  • Slater V. Baker and Stapleton (C.B. 1767): Unpublished Monographs by Robert D. Miller
    SLATER V. BAKER AND STAPLETON (C.B. 1767): UNPUBLISHED MONOGRAPHS BY ROBERT D. MILLER ROBERT D. MILLER, J.D., M.S. HYG. HONORARY FELLOW MEDICAL HISTORY AND BIOETHICS DEPARTMENT SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND PUBLIC HEALTH UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON PRINTED BY AUTHOR MADISON, WISCONSIN 2019 © ROBERT DESLE MILLER 2019 BOUND BY GRIMM BOOK BINDERY, MONONA, WI AUTHOR’S INTRODUCTION These unpublished monographs are being deposited in several libraries. They have their roots in my experience as a law student. I have been interested in the case of Slater v. Baker and Stapleton since I first learned of it in law school. I was privileged to be a member of the Yale School Class of 1974. I took an elective course with Dr. Jay Katz on the protection of human subjects and then served as a research assistant to Dr. Katz in the summers of 1973 and 1974. Dr. Katz’s course used his new book EXPERIMENTATION WITH HUMAN BEINGS (New York: Russell Sage Foundation 1972). On pages 526-527, there are excerpts from Slater v. Baker. I sought out and read Slater v. Baker. It seemed that there must be an interesting backstory to the case, but it was not accessible at that time. I then practiced health law for nearly forty years, representing hospitals and doctors, and writing six editions of a textbook on hospital law. I applied my interest in experimentation with human beings by serving on various Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) during that period. IRBs are federally required committees that review and approve experiments with humans at hospitals, universities and other institutions.

  • Innes Smith Collection
    Innes Smith Collection University of Sheffield Library. Special Collections and Archives Ref: Special Collection Title: Innes Smith Collection Scope: Books on the history of medicine, many of medical biography, dating from the 16th to the early 20th centuries Dates: 1548-1932 Extent: 330 vols. Name of creator: Robert William Innes Smith Administrative / biographical history: Robert William Innes Smith (1872-1933) was a graduate in medicine of Edinburgh University and a general practitioner for thirty three years in the Brightside district of Sheffield. His strong interest in medical history and art brought him some acclaim, and his study of English-speaking students of medicine at the University of Leyden, published in 1932, is regarded as a model of its kind. Locally in Sheffield Innes Smith was highly respected as both medical man and scholar: his pioneer work in the organisation of ambulance services and first-aid stations in the larger steel works made him many friends. On Innes Smith’s death part of his large collection of books and portraits was acquired for the University. The original library is listed in a family inventory: Catalogue of the library of R.W. Innes-Smith. There were at that time some 600 volumes, but some items were sold at auction or to booksellers. The residue of the book collection in this University Library numbers 305, ranging in date from the early 16th century to the early 20th, all bearing the somewhat macabre Innes Smith bookplate. There is a strong bias towards medical biography. For details of the Portraits see under Innes Smith Medical Portrait Collection.

  • Pharmaceutical History and Its Sources in the Wellcome Collections Iii
    PHARMACEUTICAL HISTORY AND ITS SOURCES IN THE WELLCOME COLLECTIONS III. FLUID MEDICINES, PRESCRIPTION REFORM AND POSOLOGY 1700-19001 by J. K. CRELLIN AND J. R. SCOTT DURING the nineteenth century prescribed medicines underwent considerable changes. Many new forms were introduced and, as will be related in this paper, the multidose mixture emerged as the most popular 'wet' medicine.2 This study was prompted mainly by the large collection of sixteenth- to nineteenth-century vials and bottles in the Wellcome Institute of the History of Medicine which highlights the growing popularity of the multidose mixture at the expense of small-volume preparations, the draught and the drop. Not so apparent from the vials and bottles, however, is the demise (also linked with the growing popularity of the mixture) of such large-volume preparations as juleps, apozems, and medicated ales and possets, medicines which mostly fell within the province of domestic medicine. DOMESTIC MEDICINES AS 'EXTRNAL' VEHICLES A charactertistic feature of administering medicines around 1700 was that the medical practitioner often directed -as an integral part of his treatment-that water (medicated or plain), juleps, draughts, or possets, etc., were to be used as external vehicles, i.e. as aids for washing down powders, boluses, and electuaries.3 In other words, solid medicaments were not generally incorporated into the liquid vehicle as was to become common practice when the mixture gained greater popularity.4 The majority of such liquid 'external' vehicles were frequently looked upon as 1 This paper is concerned primarily with the British scene, but provides some guidelines to develop- ments on the Continent; these were similar to those in Britain, even if not exactly contemporary (cf.

  • Constructing Humphry Davy's Biographical Image Frank A.J.L
    1 Constructing Humphry Davy’s Biographical Image Frank A.J.L. James The Royal Institution and University College London, England http://orcid.org/0000-0002-0499-9291 This paper, which is also a contribution to the somewhat understudied area of the history of biography, discusses a couple of short accounts of Humphry Davy’s life and the three major biographies published in the years following his death. These were an “anti-biography” by John Ayrton Paris (1831) and two admiring biographies by Davy’s younger brother John Davy (1836, 1858). By examining the processes surrounding their writing and publication, this study illustrates how Davy’s biographical reputation was constructed, how his surviving manuscripts and related documents came to be collected and preserved and so help us understand the effects they continue to exert on Davy scholarship. Introduction The career trajectory of Humphry Davy (1778-1829) from provincial obscurity to international fame is well known. He moved from serving as an apprentice apothecary in the far west of England to working at the Medical Pneumatic Institution in Bristol where he discovered the astonishing physiological properties of nitrous oxide, to becoming the leading metropolitan scientific figure during the opening decades of the nineteenth century, first as a chemistry professor at the Royal Institution and later as a Secretary and, finally, President of the Royal Society of London. Our very familiarity with this biographical story seems to prevent us from perceiving the extraordinary nature of his
