| | John Hunter - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | JOHN HUNTER (1728-1793), British physiologist and surgeon, was born on the 13th 1 of February 1728, at Long Calderwood, in the parish of East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, being the youngest of the ten children of John and Agnes Hunter. |
 | | Hunter, unlike his contemporaries, to most of whom his philosophic habit of thought was a mystery, and whose books contained little else than relations of cases and modes of treatment, sought the reason for each phenomenon that came under his notice. |
 | | Hunter explained to them how he was situated, but promised to advance their request at the next board meeting at the hospital on the 16th of October. |
