# American Medical Biographies/Brown, William

​Brown, William (17―–1792)
William Brown, an army doctor, was bom in Scotland, probably Haddingtonshire, where his grandfather had left an entailed estate. William was the grandson of Dr. Gustavus Brown, Sr. (q.v.) of Rich Hill, near Port Tobacco, Maryland, and the son of the Rev. Richard Brown.
He graduated M. D. in 1770 from the University of Edinburgh, where he had been a student, the subject of his thesis being "De Viribus Atmosphæræ."
Settling in Alexandria upon his return home, he soon attained a high professional rank, and being a man of culture and polished manners, became intimate with many of the leading men of the day, among them, Washington, Jefferson and Madison.
At the beginning of the Revolution he entered the service of his country as surgeon to Col. Woodford's regiment of Virginia troops, but on the twentieth of September, 1776, was elected assistant to Dr. Shippen (q.v.), a chief physician of the Continental Army. Upon the recommendation of Dr. Hugh Mercer (q.v.), he was elected by Congress, February 7, 1778, to be physician-general of the middle department in place of Dr. Rush (q.v.), a position he resigned on July 21, 1780, returning to private practice.
In resigning he forfeited his right to be paid in bounty lands, but so highly were his services ​esteemed, the General Assembly of Virginia made an exception in his case and decreed that he should receive the pay due him, and also that he should be entitled to the bounty of land allowed surgeons of regiments raised under the authority of the state (Hening's "Statutes," vol. vi).
Dr. Brown married Miss Catherine Scott of the District of Columbia, and had a large family. His son, Gustavus Alexander, became a physician and practised in Alexandria for many years.
Dr. Brown died in January, 1792, and was buried at Preston, the Alexander estate, near Alexandria, Virginia.
His chief writing was a "Pharmacopœia for the Use of Army Hospitals," a copy of which is now in the Toner collection in the Library of Congress.
# American Medical Biographies/Brown, Harvey E.

​Brown, Harvey E. (1840–1889)
Harvey E. Brown, surgeon of the United States Army, was the son of Col. Harvey Brown of the fifth United States Artillery. After graduating in medicine at the University of New York he was appointed assistant surgeon to the seventieth New York Volunteer Regiment and was transferred to the regular army April 13, 1863. He rendered notable service during the Civil War. In 1881 he was promoted to the rank of major. During the last years of his life he was employed in the surgeon-general's office at Washington. Dr. Brown was the author of "The Medical Department of the United States Army from 1775 to 1873." He died at Jackson Barracks, near New Orleans, August 20, 1889.
# American Medical Biographies/Browne, John Mills

​Browne, John Mills (1831–1894)
This surgeon-general of the Navy was born in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, May 30, 1831, and after graduating at the Harvard Medical School in 1852 entered the navy as assistant surgeon. From 1853 to 1858 he served on the Pacific coast, and was then promoted to the rank of surgeon and assigned to the United States ship Kearsarge. He was an eye-witness of the famous battle between the Kearsarge and the Alabama off the coast of France July 17, 1864. At the close of the war Browne was put in charge of Mare Island Naval Hospital near San Francisco. In 1878 he was commissioned medical director and transferred to Washington. Browne represented the medical department of the United States Navy at the International Congresses of 1881 in London and of 1884 in Copenhagen. He was appointed surgeon-general of the Navy in 1888 and reappointed in 1892, but retired in 1893 and died in Washington December 7 of the following year.
# American Medical Biographies/Caldwell, Charles

​Caldwell, Charles (1772–1853).
Charles Caldwell, physician and author, was born in Caswell County, North Carolina, May 14, 1772. His father came to this country from the North of Ireland and Charles probably inherited from his father his tenacity of purpose and possibly a certain belligerency which characterized his whole life. His opportunities for education were very limited, yet so great was his mental ability and activity that at the age of eighteen he was elected principal of a literary academy. Having decided to make medicine his profession, he spent a year and a half with a preceptor and then went to Philadelphia where he entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1792. Here he was pupil and friend of the eminent Dr. Benjamin Rush, but his overweening self-confidence and self-assertiveness finally made a breach in* their friendship and aroused the antagonism of Rush and also of the trustees. He was surgeon of a brigade during the "Whiskey Insurrection" and distinguished himself in the yellow fever epidemic in 1793. In 1810 he filled the chair of natural history in the University of Pennsylvania, and, on moving to Lexington, Kentucky, was professor of materia medica in Transylvania University from 1818 to 1837, the medical department of which he helped to found. His brilliancy as a writer and speaker undoubtedly did much to attract the very large classes which soon gathered at Lexington.
With the increasing facilities for travel Lexington soon felt the keen competition of the rival towns, Louisville and Cincinnati. Public-spirited citizens planned the establishment of medical schools and sought the valuable aid of Dr. Caldwell. He decided upon Louisville and, in 1837, went to that city and by his eloquence and zeal soon secured the active cooperation of leading citizens in founding the Louisville Medical Institute, afterwards merged into the University of Louisville as its medical department. With this institution he continued as professor of materia medica until within a few years of his death which occurred in Louisville on July 9, 1853.
In person, Dr. Caldwell was tall and commanding; a fluent, forcible and graceful speaker; a writer gifted with an unusual vocabulary, singularly clear and incisive. His catalogue of published writings enumerates over two hundred different essays, addresses, pamphlets and books. His bent of mind was controversial and was the cause of the many antagonisms which embittered his life. The strong self-reliance, assertiveness and egotism which perhaps offended many were the necessary elements of character which enabled him to be the "pioneer of medical schools and medical philosophy in the Mississippi Valley and premier in the founding and establishment of two of its most famous schools." A full list of his many writings is given in his Autobiography published by Harriot W. Warner, Philadelphia, 1855.
# American Medical Biographies/Brown, James

​Brown, James (1854–1895)
James Brown was born in Baltimore, Nov. 12, 1854, the son of Thomas R. Brown and Mary Elizabeth Hynson. Educated at Carey's School, he went to the University of Maryland for his medical degree, received in 1875. He was a resident physician of Bayview Hospital, Baltimore, and later assumed charge of the Genito-Urinary Dispensary in the Johns Hopkins Hospital at its opening in 1889.
In 1893–4 he was lecturer and in 1894–5 associate in genito-urinary surgery at the Johns Hopkins University.
On June 9, 1893, Brown catheterized the male ureter during life for the first time.
He was married, first, to Amanda Bechtel, and, second, to Imogene Bechtel; they had two children.
He died of tuberculosis June 16, 1895, in Boston, whither he had gone by water from Baltimore.
# American Medical Biographies/Brown, John Ball

​Brown, John Ball (1784–1862)
John Ball Brown, pioneer orthopedist of America, son of Dr. Jabez Brown of Wilmington, Massachusetts, was born in that town October 20, 1784.
Graduating from Brown University in 1806, he studied medicine with Dr. E. A. Holyoke (q.v.) and Dr. Moses Little at Salem and began practice in Dorchester in 1809 but returned to Boston in 1812, shortly after (1814) marrying the third daughter of Dr. John Warren (q.v.).
He was appointed surgeon and physician to the Boston Almshouse in 1817 and associate surgeon to the Massachusetts General Hospital when that institution was organized, while in later years he became consulting surgeon.
In 1838 Dr. Brown began to devote his attention especially to orthopedics, a new specialty, being the first to introduce it to this country. He was the first in America to do subcutaneous tenotomy and had a wide reputation in the treatment of wry-neck, club-foot and spinal curvature, patients seeking his aid from places so remote as the Sandwich Islands.
Dr. Brown was said to have great mechanical ingenuity in the invention and application of special surgical apparatus. He was assiduous in following up his patients, who were treated for the most part in his orthopedic infirmary, the first of its sort in Boston, and was an occasional writer for the medical journals on subjects connected with his specialty. In 1839 he republished from the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, "Remarks on the Operation for the Cure of Club-feet, with Cases."
He died May 14, 1862, aged seventy-nine years, being succeeded in the practice of orthopedics in Boston by his son, Buckminster Brown.
