  Waller   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Augustus Desiré Waller was born in Paris on the 18th July 1856, the scion of an eminent scientist, Augustus Volney Waller, who was noted for his work on nerve degeneration, now eponymously known to us as Wallerian degeneration.
Waller remained at St. Mary's until 1903, when he was appointed professor of the newly established physiologic laboratory at the University of London.
Waller was determined to be as successful as his father was in physiology and his ambition was to become a Professor.

 Augustus Volney Waller (www.whonamedit.com)
Augustus Volney Waller, the son of William Waller, was raised in the south of France, in Nice, until his father’s death in 1830.
Augustus was 14 year old when he returned to school in England, living with Dr. Lacon Lambe and then with William Lambe (1765-1847), and eccentric vegetarian who believed that almost all diseases were caused by animal diet and the poor water in London.
His son Augustus Desiré Waller (1856-1922) was also a distinguished physiologist and in 1887 demonstrated an electric current in the human heart by placing electrode on the surface of the body, the forerunner of the electrocardiogram.

As late as 1911, Augustus Waller, who was the pioneer of electrocardiography, said, “I do not imagine that electrocardiography is likely to find any very extensive use in the hospital.
In 1887, Waller published the 1st report of a recording of cardiac electricity on the body's surface; he called the recording a “cardiograph.” Waller presented his paper titled “A preliminary survey of 2,000 electrocardiograms” before the Physiological Society of London in 1917.
In 1887, Einthoven was present at the International Congress of Physiology in London, where he observed Waller demonstrating the use of the capillary electrometer to record an “electrograph” of the heart.

In 1887 Augustus Désiré Waller of St. Mary's Hospital in London recorded and published the first tracing of the electrical activity of the human heart.
It has been stated that Waller frequently demonstrated his technique publicly and used his dog Jimmy as the subject.
Waller employed a crude instrument called a Lippmann electrometer to make the tracing.

All visitors will be very welcome, but as explained, the Science Museum requires as a condition of lending items that it be not a ‘public’ exhibition, non-member visitors being regarded as guests of the Association.
In 1887 Waller made the first recording of the human ECG, and some of the apparatus he used is on show, on loan from the Science Museum.
Other notable items, out of the many on display, include his Dubois chloroform apparatus, the temperature compensated chloroform vaporizers designed by Harcourt, Alcock, and Levy, and the modern version of the chloroform balance constructed by the Drs.

[Re: Einthoven: Inventor of the ECG (1999;1:69)] Don't forget, Augustus Waller was the first investigator to record an electrocardiogram on a human.
There is a little controversy as to who _ Waller or Einthoven _ called the graph an electrocardiogram.
There is no doubt, however, that Waller recorded the first human record.

In 1878 John Burden Sanderson and Frederick Page, British physiologists, recorded a frog's heart's electrical current with a capillary electrometer and showed it consists of two phases (later called QRS and T).
Later he stated that Waller had coined the term.
In 1895 Einthoven distinguishes five deflections which he names P, Q, R, S and T. 1920 Harold Pardee of New York publishes the first electrocardiogram of an acute myocardial infarction in a human and describes the T wave as being tall and "starts from a point well up on the descent of the R wave.

Orthograde degeneration in the distal segment of severed axons was first described by Augustus Waller in 1850, when he examined lesioned hypoglossal and glossopharyngeal nerves in the frog.
Waller noted that the axon disintegrated and the remaining debris was subsequently removed within a few days of axotomy.
However, our present knowledge and understanding of the underlying mechanisms of Wallerian degeneration (WD) remain sketchy, despite the advent and improvement of physiological, immunocytochemical and molecular techniques.
