​Alcott, William Alexander (1798–1859)
William Alexander Alcott, physician and author, was born in Wolcott, Connecticut, August, 6, 1798. By hard work on the farm he supported himself, and paid for tuition in the medical school of Yale University, and before many years became a man of great influence in the community and acquired considerable practice.
He was a man of excellent common sense, and quickly detected the folly of the fantastic therapy dominating the medical world in his day and long after it, and many illuminating experiences led him to abandon the use of one drug after another; all this is detailed in an autobiography with the quaint title, "Forty Years in the Wildernesses of Pills and Powders." He early realized the advantages and made use of hydrotherapy as an adjunct in the treatment of disease.
He had great confidence in calomel and gave enormous doses without apparent ill effects. He describes his treatment of croup in a child to whom he administered a teaspoonful at a dose and the little patient soon recovered.
About 1832 Alcott removed to Boston and associated himself with William Woodbridge in the preparation of school geographies and atlases and in editing the Annals of Education. The people among whom he had lived had only the most rudimentary education; the schools taught reading, but "figuring" had to be learned after hours; a few could do small sums in subtraction but almost none could multiply or divide. He edited Juvenile Rambles, the first weekly periodical published in America for children. He wrote "On the Construction of School-Houses." It is said he visited 20,000 school-houses. In all, Alcott published upward of one hundred books and pamphlets, many dealing with education, morals and physical training, and he was identified with noted reforms.
He died in Auburndale, Massachusetts, March 29, 1859.
# American Medical Biographies/Alexander, James Franklin

Dr. Alexander's grave notes May 28, 1824 and Nov. 14, 1901 as his birth and death dates, respectively.
​Alexander, James Franklin (1826–1903)
J. F. Alexander was born on a farm in Greenville district, South Carolina, in 1826, a descendant of good old Scotch-Irish stock and closely related to the Alexanders of Mecklenburg, North Carolina, who in May, 1775, signed the first "Declaration of Independence" known to be in existence in the United States. His grandfather, John R. Alexander, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War His father, Thomas W., removing from South Carolina settled in Gwinnett County, Georgia, when James F. was only five years of age. James graduated at the Georgia Medical College in March, 1849, afterwards settling in the city of Atlanta, at once forming a partnership with a former schoolmate, Dr. John C. Calhoun, but the exorbitant price of six dollars per month rent for an office so deterred young Calhoun that he went back to his old home, Lawrenceville.
Among Dr. Alexander's first patients were a number of small-pox cases whom the other doctors refused to treat. Dr. Alexander gladly availed himself of this opportunity and this incident doubtless affected the whole of his future. The reputation he gained here for his successful management of the cases and obliterating the disease gave him such notoriety that he was ever known, not only throughout Georgia, but the entire South as a successful small-pox expert. During his practice before and after the war he was known to have passed through fifteen or sixteen ​small-pox epidemics. In his early years he became an ardent advocate of general vaccination and re-vaccination.
In 1853, '54 and '55, he did much good work in helping to establish the Atlanta Medical College. Being of a diffident nature, he preferred private practice to appearing in the lecture hall.
Dr. Alexander was surgeon to the Eighth Georgia Infantry during the Civil War for the first year. After this he resigned, returned home, serving the Confederacy as a surgeon in the hospital, principally looking after small-pox patients during the last two or three years of the war.
In politics he was an ardent Democrat and active Secessionist. From his popularity and general congeniality he was a favorite among the people and could have held any office that he wished, refusing all, however, except to be elected delegate to the convention which declared Georgia out of the Union.
He was the youngest member of the body of men who formed the Georgia Medical Association in May, 1849. Up to his death he was an active and prominent member of this organization.
Dr. Alexander was very humane, never refusing the call of a pauper patient. It is estimated that in this line his gratuities reached almost one hundred thousand dollars.
He died November 14, 1903, of senile decay, after practising for fifty years.
His first wife was Miss Georgia Orme of Milledgeville, and his second wife, Ada, daughter of Judge Permeda Reynolds. From the first union there was an only daughter; from the second, two children, James F. and Ada.
# American Medical Biographies/Alexander, Nathaniel

​Alexander, Nathaniel (1756–1808)
Nathaniel Alexander, physician and ardent patriot, was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, March 5, 1756. His father was Lieutenant-Colonel Moses Alexander, who took part in the Cherokee Boundary Expedition of 1767 and rendered other important military service. Nathaniel Alexander graduated at Princeton University in 1776, then studied medicine; he served as surgeon in the North Carolina Continental Line or Regulars from 1778 until the close of hostilities in 1782. At the end of the War he began to practise at the High Hills of the Santee, South Carolina, then went to Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1797 he became a member of the North Carolina House of Commons; 1801–1802 he was in the State Senate; 1803–1805 he was member of the United States Congress. Here his course met with such approval that he was elected governor of North Carolina and served from 1805 until 1807.
Dr. Alexander was "distinguished in his generation as a friend of public education;" from 1805–1807 he was president of the board of trustees of the University of North Carolina—before a governor of the State became ex-officio president of the board; in his gubernatorial position he labored to impress the legislature with the importance of providing a system of public education.
In his message of 1806 he speaks as follows: "In a government constituted as ours, where the people are everything—where they are the fountain of all power—it becomes infinitely important that they be sufficiently enlightened to realize their interests and to comprehend the best means of advancing them. Indeed, it may be affirmed with truth that, unless they be informed, the duration of their liberties will be precarious, their enemies will seduce them from the pursuit of their true interest, or their prejudices will lead them into fatal dangers. If this be true, and no intelligent man would deny it, how deeply interesting becomes the inquiry whether the citizens of this State are sufficiently enlightened to know and value their own rights, to discern and to provide against the invasions of them, to distinguish between oppression and the necessary exercise of lawful authority, to discriminate the spirit of liberty from that of licentiousness—to cherish the one and to avoid the other. The inquiry is of vast consequence, and worthy of your serious consideration."
Although so noted as a statesman, he was also not undistinguished in his profession; Toner speaks of him as a "physician of eminence in Mecklenburg."
His wife was a daughter of Colonel Thomas Polk; they had no children. He died at Salisbury, North Carolina, March 8, 1808.
# American Medical Biographies/Alden, Ebenezer

​Alden, Ebenezer (1788–1881)
Dr. Alden, medical biographer, was born at Randolph, Massachusetts, March 17, 1788. He was descended through both father (Dr. Ebenezer Alden) and mother (Sarah Bass) directly from John Alden of the Mayflower.
He graduated from Harvard College in 1808 and received his M. B. from Dartmouth Medical School in 1811 and M. D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1812, during his pupilage coming under the instruction of Nathan Smith, Rush, Barton and Wistar. He settled as a physician in his native town where he passed his entire life.
From 1837 to near the close of life he was a trustee of Phillips Academy and Andover Theological Seminary. He was also a ​trustee of Amherst College and was one of the original trustees of Thayer Academy of Braintree.
In 1818 he married Anne, daughter of Capt. Edmund Kimball, of Newburyport, and had six children. He was totally blind for the last five or six years of his life.
Some of his writings are: "The Early History of the Medical Profession in the County of Norfolk," May 10, 1853, Boston, 1853; "Memoir of Bartholomew Brown, Esquire," Randolph, 1862; "Memorial of the Descendants of the Hon. John Alden," 1867, p. 184, "Notice of the Founders of the Massachusetts Medical Society" and "Historical Sketch of the Origin and Progress of the Massachusetts Medical Society," 1839.
Dr. Alden was a bibliophile and built up a private library of rare books and pamphlets, especially those appertaining to the Civil War and the ecclesiastical history of New England. He had a strong love for antiquarian and genealogical pursuits, joining the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 1846, the year after its organization. As a lecturer on temperance he was well known and equally as a singer. Even when eighty-one years old he made one of the great chorus of the National Peace Jubilee in Boston, in 1869.
Dr. Alden died at his home in Randolph, January 26, 1881, aged ninety-three. There is a portrait in the New England Historic Genealogical Register, 1881, p. 213.
# American Medical Biographies/Alexander, Ashton

​Alexander, Ashton (1772–1855)
Founder and first secretary of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, provost of the University of Maryland, Alexander was born in 1772, near Arlington, Alexandria County, Virginia. The town of Alexandria was named after his ancestors, who owned large tracts of land in its vicinity. His father commanded a company of horse in the Continental Army at the commencement of the Revolution. His youth was spent in Jefferson County, Virginia, where he was educated at a private institution and studied medicine under Dr. Philip Thomas, of Frederick, Md., finishing at the University of Pennsylvania, where he obtained his medical degree May 22, 1795. He settled first in North Carolina and in 1796 went to Baltimore. He was a founder of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland and its first secretary (1799–1801); then he was treasurer (1801–1803) and the last surviving charter member.
Other positions Dr. Alexander held were the following: Commissioner of Health, Baltimore, 1804–05 and again 1812; attending physician, Baltimore General Dispensary, 1801–03; consulting physician, Baltimore Hospital, 1812; president, District Medical and Chirurgical Society, 1819–20, provost, University of Maryland, 1837–50.
Dr. Alexander is described as being a self-possessed and courteous man, neat in his dress which included knee and shoe buckles and gold-headed cane. He died of pneumonia in Baltimore in February, 1855, in his eighty-third year.
He married in December, 1799, a daughter of his preceptor, Dr. Thomas, and had eight children, only three of whom arrived at maturity and all of whom died before he himself did. His first wife dying, he married very late in life Miss Merryman, but had no children.
# American Medical Biographies/Ahern, Michael Joseph

​Ahern, Michael Joseph (1844–1914)
Michael Joseph Ahern, protagonist in the field of Listerian surgery in Quebec, was born in Quebec in 1844 of parents who came over from Cork, Ireland. He studied in the local schools and resolved to teach as a profession. Curé Saxe, however, persuaded him to seek a wider field and he took up medicine in the Laval University in 1864 and graduated Doctor of Medicine in 1867, then serving as interne in the Marine and Immigrants' Hospital, Quebec.
He stepped into the shoes of Dr. McCraw and gradually built up a substantial practice and married Georgine Marcotte of Quebec in 1876.
In 1878 he was made professor of anatomy and in 1885 of clinical surgery in Laval. Born in the days when anesthesia had but recently arrived to mitigate the horrors of surgery and extend its domain, he had yet to see its promised benefits, largely dissipated by the continued reign of pyemia, erysipelas, hospital gangrene and purulent infections of all sorts. These he combated by the introduction of the new Listerism into the Hotel-Dieu of Quebec. He was, like so many of his confrères, in all ages and clinics, interested in science, especially in botany and mineralogy; he made collections of the fossils found in the rocks of the Quebec mountains, and at his death over four hundred named specimens of the Niagara formation were presented to the Geological Museum of the University.
His last work was an uncompleted "History of Medicine in Canada" under French Rule. He died April 18, 1914.
# American Medical Biographies/Alexander, Samuel

​Alexander, Samuel (1858–1910)
Samuel Alexander was born in New York City April 2, 1858, the son of Henry M. and Susan Brown Alexander and the grandson of Matthew Brown, D. D., for many years president of Washington and Jefferson College. He graduated from Princeton in 1879 and from Bellevue Medical College in 1882. In 1883 he went abroad, studying in London ​Leipsic and Vienna. Upon his return to America he was appointed attending surgeon to Bellevue Hospital and in 1887 became professor of genito-urinary surgery in Bellevue Hospital Medical College. In 1898 he was made professor of clinical surgery in the department of genito-urinary diseases in Cornell University Medical College. He died in New York City November 29, 1910, of acute gangrenous appendicitis. He was unmarried.
Dr. Alexander was an indefatigable worker and an enthusiastic and successful teacher. He began his professional life as a partner of Dr. E. L. Keyes and devoted himself to genito-urinary diseases in which he became one of the foremost authorities in America. He gave particular attention to the relief of enlarged prostate and developed an admirable operation based on exhaustive and scientific work in anatomy and pathology.
Among his writings are: "Syllabus of introductory lectures to the clinical courses on the surgical diseases of the genito-urinary system." Booklet in two parts, 1905–1908; "The technique of median prostatectomy." Tr. Phila. Acad. of Surgery, 1911.
