JAMES See also:ERASMUS , generally known as Sir ERASMUS WILsoN (1809-1884), See also:British surgeon and philanthropist, was See also:born in See also:London on the 25th of See also:November 1809, studied at St See also:Bartholomew's See also:Hospital in London, and at See also:Aberdeen, and See also:early in See also:life became known as a skilful operator and dissector. It was his sympathy with the poor of London and a See also:suggestion from See also:- THOMAS

time as sub-editor, which first led him to take
up skin diseases as a See also:special study. The horrible cases of See also:scrofula, See also:anaemia and See also:blood-poisoning which he saw made him set to See also:work to alleviate the sufferings of persons so afflicted, and he quickly established a reputation for treating this class of patient. It was said that he cured the See also:rich by ordering them to give up luxuries; the poor, by prescribing for them proper nourishment, which was often provided out of his own See also:pocket. In the See also:opinion of one of his biographers, we owe to Wilson in See also:great measure the See also:habit of the daily See also:bath, and he helped very much to bring the See also:Turkish bath into use in Great See also:Britain. He wrote much upon the diseases which specially occupied his See also:attention, and his books, A Healthy Skin and Student's See also:Book of Diseases of the Skin, though they were not received without See also:criticism at the time of their See also:appearance, See also:long remained See also:text-books of their subject. He visited the See also:East in See also:- ORDER

order to study leprosy, See also:Switzerland that he might investigate the causes of See also:goitre, and See also:Italy with the purpose of adding to his knowledge of the skin diseases affecting an See also:ill-nourished peasantry. He made a large See also:fortune by his successful practice and by skilful investments, and, since he had no farnily, he devoted a great See also:deal of his See also:money to charitable and educational purposes. He founded in 1869 the See also:chair and museum of dermatology in the Royal See also:College of Surgeons, of which he was chosen See also:president in 1881, and which just before his See also:death awarded him its honorary See also:gold See also:medal, founded in 1800 and only six times previously awarded. He also founded a professorship of See also:pathology at Aberdeen University. After the death of his wife the bulk of his See also:property, some £200,000, went to the Royal College of Surgeons. In 1878 he earned the thanks of the nation, upon different grounds, by defraying the expense of bringing the See also:Egyptian See also:obelisk called See also:Cleopatra's See also:Needle from See also:Alexandria to London, where it was erected on the See also:Thames See also:Embankment. The British See also:government had not thought it See also:worth the expense of transportation. He was knighted by See also:Queen See also:Victoria in 1881, and died at Westgate-on-See also:Sea on the 7th of See also:August 1884.
