John Clark (bap. 1744-1805) was a Scot who studied in Edinburgh with John Gregory, and graduated MD from St. Andrews. He then served as surgeon on the Talbot of the Honourable East India Company from 1768-1772. This work is "an account of his experiences on board the East Indiaman Talbot. It brought him 100 guineas from the company and a reputation in nautical medicine. Making early use of numerical and comparative methods, his work included meteorological and epidemiological data as well as therapeutic trials in scurvy and 'fevers'. Comparing the death rate of the Talbot's crew with that of seven other crews simultaneously stationed at Bengal, he argued that the below-average mortality of his men was connected with the success of his method of treating 'fevers' early and liberally with Peruvian bark (quinine)."?(ODNB).

Thomas Buchanan was a Hull physician who "stressed the importance of cerumen as an aid to hearing...

He noted the effect of distance upon harmony, and of the baneful effect of loud sounds, stating that 'the Highland bagpipe, which at a little distance on a wide and blooming heath has a melody and sweetness particularly agreeable to the Scottish ear, may produce a stunning effect when played in a small apartment.'"?Stevenson.

Henry Radcliffe Crocker (1846?1909) started his working life as an apprentice to a general practitioner, before going to London to attend the University College Hospital medical school and became known as one of the world's leading dermatologists. An accomplished water-colour painter, he often sketched his patients' conditions and reproduced them in his works. "Crocker's avid reading and retentive memory facilitated the production of his textbook Diseases of the Skin: their Description, Pathology, Diagnosis and Treatment, which was first published in 1888 and exemplified his lucid and comprehensive writing style. For many years it was the most highly regarded on the subject in English and it ran to several editions. It was followed between 1893 and 1896 by the monthly instalments of The Atlas of Diseases of the Skin. Dermatological societies in America, France, Germany, and Italy recognized his pre-eminence in the speciality, elected him to their membership, and valued his attendance and contributions to their meetings."?(New ODNB).
