Some More Medical Men.1
Of the Be If rage, Dickson, Haij, and Helleday families
several members became Doctors of Medicine.
Thes Boij, son of the Stockolm Borgmästare Anders Boij,
was born in 1683, and went to Upsala in 1699. After
having travelled to London, Oxford, and Leyden (Boerhave),
he took his degree in 1709, and was appointed
army-doctor in the same year. As such he accompanied the
Swedish force on the campaign in Skåne. On his return
he settled at Stockholm, where he soon made himself
known to the Admiralty by his proposals for the
improvements of barracks. He died in consequence of one
of his own experiments. Convinced that intermittent
fever could be cured by the application of cold baths
before each attack, he tried to prove his doctrine,
remained ever afterwards an invalid, and died two years
after the experiment, in 1739.
John Ouchterlony, born at Stockholm in 1794, studied
at Upsala, became an M.D. in 1822.
Benj. Hunter, born at Danzig, settled at Stockholm;
took his degree at Reims in 1733. He lived in scholarly
retirement, much occupied with scientific researches on
his estate of Näs in Östergötland, where he died in 1785,
on the 7th of April. He left many legacies for schools,
poorhouses, and hospitals.
His wife’s name was Spalding, Scotch also.
The name of Key, traced back to the famous Mackay in
the Thirty Years’ War, is represented by the Professor
of Anatomy, E. Axel Key, at the Carol. Inst, in
Stockholm. He was born in 1832, and wrote a famous
work on the Nervous System, for the completion of which
he received a Government grant of four thousand Thaler
