Born in Cornwall, John Davy (1790 1868) physiologist and anatomist,
and the younger brother of the distinguished chemist Sir Humphry
Davy (1778 1829), was one of the most prolific medical experts of
his day. After taking a medical degree from Edinburgh in 1814 he
became an army surgeon. He later became a hospital inspector and
spent time living in overseas territories including India, Sri
Lanka, and Barbados. First published in 1862, Davy's book discusses
the prominence of fever, dysentery, cholera, liver disease,
pneumonia, and other diseases common to the army, estimating that
45% of deaths in the British army serving abroad were caused by
disease rather than by conflict. Davy also records his observations
on putrefaction of bodies, particularly the vital organs,
emphasising the need to determine the normal condition of human
organs so that abnormal, diseased organs can be easily identified.
