# American Medical Biographies/Barton, Edward H.

​Barton, Edward H. (——1859)
Edward H. Barton was born at Fredericksburg, Virginia. He was a non-graduate member of the class of 1813 at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., and received the honorary degree of A. M. from that college in 1830. He went to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received the degree of A. M. and in 1817 that of M. D., when his thesis was on "Epilepsy." The founders of the Medical College of Louisiana (1834) were Thomas Hunt, professor of physiology and anatomy; John Harrison, adjunct professor and demonstrator of anatomy; A. H. Cenas, professor of midwifery; C. A. Luzenberg, professor of surgery; T. R. Ingalls, professor of chemistry; E. B. Smith, professor of materia medica. Before the session began, Professor Smith withdrew and Dr. Barton accepted the chair. He was dean from 1836 to 1841, when he resigned.
Barton's writings were chiefly on meteorology and vital statistics and the hygiene of New Orleans and Louisiana. He wrote "The Cause and Prevention of Yellow Fever at New Orleans and Other Cities in America." The third edition (282 pp.) was published in 1857; he wrote on this subject in the Report on Yellow Fever of the Sanitary Commission (1853).
He died of heart disease at New Orleans in 1859.
# American Medical Biographies/Barton, John Rhea

​Barton, John Rhea (1794–1871)
J. Rhea Barton, the originator of resection of the joints for anchylosis, the son of Judge William Barton, was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in April, 1794, and died in Philadelphia Jan. 1, 1871. He was a nephew of Benjamin Smith Barton, eminent botanist and professor of materia medica in the University of Pennsylvania. Before taking his degree he was appointed to an apprenticeship in the Pennsylvania hospital, according to the then custom of taking on young men beginning their studies for a five year period, and finding everything for them except their clothes; graduation took place as near as possible at the termination of the indenture. He took his medical degree in 1818, with Hugh L. Hodge (q.v.) and George B. Wood (q.v.). He worked under Physick, Dorsey and Hewson, and had as fellow internes Benjamin H. Coates, Rene La Roche, Isaac Hays, and John K. Mitchell (q.v.). He was made surgeon to the Philadelphia Almshouse in 1818.
In 1823 he was appointed to the surgical ​staff of the Pennsylvania Hospital. He had a high degree of mechanical dexterity and ingenuity which he directed towards the treatment of fractures. He devised the figure of eight bandage for the head, dispensing with the clumsy devices in vogue in dealing with fractures of the lower jaw. It was he who introduced bran dressings so extensively used in the treatment of compound fractures (and in the writer's experience a breeding place for myriads of bed bugs).
He published a paper (North American and Surgical Journal, 1827) "On the Treatment of Anchylosis by the Formation of Artificial Joints, a New Operation, devised and executed by J. Rhea Barton, M. D.;" in this he gives an account of a sailor who had a complete disorganization and anchylosis of the hip joint, following a fall, with a resultant position of the thigh at almost a right angle. Barton operated in public, assisted by Drs. Hewson and Parrish, making a crucial incision over the trochanter, and isolating and sawing through the neck of the femur to make the new joint. In the course of time the patient was able to walk freely with a cane, whereas he had previously gone about with crutches and a steel frame shoe, with the utmost difficulty. The operation was done in seven minutes! and "not one blood vessel had to be secured."
Barton's brother, W. P. C. Barton (q.v.), was at one time head of the United States Naval Bureau.
His widow Susan R. gave the University $50,000 to endow the professorship of the principles and practice of surgery in the University, in his memory.
# American Medical Biographies/Barton, Amy Stokes

​Barton, Amy Stokes (1841–1900)
Amy Stokes Barton, a pioneer woman ophthalmologist, was born in Camden County, New Jersey, October 1, 1841, daughter of Joseph Barton, a farmer, and Rachel B. Evans.
She graduated at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1874, and after serving a term in the hospital connected with the college, began practising in Philadelphia. She became interested in the eye, and after some difficulties, because of her sex, she was admitted to work in the Wills Eye Hospital, and assisted George Strawbridge for thirteen years, until his resignation in 1890.
She was lecturer on ophthalmology, 1885– 1890, and clinical professor of ophthalmology, 1891–1897, in the Woman's Medical College.
Dr. Barton collected the money for and founded a dispensary in connection with the Woman's College in Philadelphia, feeling that too much stress was being put upon the teaching of obstetrics and gynecology to women, and wishing a place where clinics in all branches would be held; it was opened in 1895 at 1212 South Third Street, and was later at 333 and 335 Washington Avenue, being called the Amy S. Barton Dispensary.
She was an Orthodox Friend. She died in Philadelphia, March 19, 1900, from apoplexy.
# American Medical Biographies/Batchelder, John Putnam

​Batchelder, John Putnam (1784–1868)
John Putnam Batchelder was born in Wilton, New Hampshire, August 6, 1784; he was an only child and his devoted parents did everything in their power to further his ambition and bring out his latent powers. He was allowed to pursue the bent of his own inclination and even before he regularly entered anyone's office, or notified the community of his determination to study medicine, we find him prescribing for the various ailments of the family servants, and giving vegetable powders to his father's domestics. Finding that even when a boy he did not kill anybody, he soon moved one grade higher and sought to cure the afflicted and accordingly entered the office of Dr. Samuel Fitch and Dr. Matthias Spalding, of Greenfield, New Hampshire, obtained a license to practise in 1807, and was rewarded with a medical degree at the Harvard Medical School in 1815, after defending a thesis "On the disease of the heart, styled Aneurism." He practised in Charlestown, New Hampshire, during which time he was a very active member of the New Hampshire Medical Society, and later practised in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Utica, New York, and finally in New York City. Although Dr. Batchelder ​did not enter a classical college, his general education was liberal and so creditably did he avail himself of surrounding advantages that Middlebury College gave him an A. M. in 1821 and Berkshire Medical Institution an honorary M. D. in 1826.
He was a celebrated lecturer on anatomy and surgery in his era and was professor on both these topics in the Castleton, Vermont, Medical School as well as at the Berkshire Medical Institution in Massachusetts. He wrote many papers on medical topics, such as: —"Cholera;" "Compressed Sponge;" "Tracheotomy;" "Fractures" and "Paralysis." He was also a remarkable operator for those early days of surgery, doing many lithotomies with great success, extracting cataracts most delicately and otherwise operating upon the eye, of which he made a sort of specialty; he became famous for a ligation of the carotid (1825) to cut off the blood supply from a large sarcoma of the jaw, which he later removed entirely. It is said that he was the first surgeon in America to remove successfully the head of the femur and he actually first performed in this country rhinoplastic, as well as plastic, operations for congenital defects of the lower lip (1828).
Dr. Batchelder was exceedingly clever as an inventor and improver of surgical instruments and apparatus, and invented the first craniotome that could be worked with one hand. He died in New York City, April 8, 1868, aged 83 years.
He was an eloquent man and helped himself in his lectures with shorthand notes, but as time went on his memory failed him in the very system that he had himself invented and at his death immense piles of his shorthand books had to be thrown into the fire, for nobody could decipher them.

​Barton, William Paul Crillon (1786–1856)
William Paul Crillon Barton, a navy surgeon, was descended from a distinguished family of physicians of Philadelphia. He was born in Philadelphia, November 17, 1786. He graduated A. B. at the College of New Jersey (Princeton) in 1805 and M. D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1808 and entered the navy as assistant surgeon in the following year. While in college each member of the class assumed the name of some celebrated man. Barton took that of Count Paul Crillon. A man of untiring energy, with a high sense of duty, the Medical Department of the Navy owes to him some most valuable reforms. He held the position of professor of botany in the University of Pennsylvania from 1816 to 1828, and professor of materia medica and botany in the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from 1828 to 1830. He was also a writer of ability and a noted botanist. Among his more valuable writings may be mentioned: "A Treatise containing a Plan for the Organization and Government of Marine Hospitals," 1814; "Vegetable Materia Medica of the United States," 1818; "Compendium Floræ Philadelphiæ," 1818; "A Flora of North America" (with colored plates), 1821.
In 1842 Barton was appointed chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of the Navy Department, a position he held until 1844 when he was retired. He died in Philadelphia, the city of his birth, March 27, 1856. His bust in life size is shown in the Army Medical Museum at Washington.
