Theodor Turquet de Mayerne (1573-1655),Swiss physician. De Mayerne,physician to James I and Charles I of England from 1610 to 1655,was a member of the College of Physicians from 1616. He obtained a royal charter preventing pharmacists from prescribing medicines,and was involved with the first London Pharmacopoeia (1618). In the debate between the learning of the ancients (Hippocrates and Galen) and medicines of the more recent chemists,Mayerne took a middle ground,condemning neither and suggesting that both might be of value. He was knighted in 1624 and made Baron of Albone. This artwork by William Elder shows him aged 82 | |
