About the author
Frederick William Headland
A 19th-century British physician and medical writer, he is best remembered for trying to explain how medicines act in the body at a time when modern pharmacology was still taking shape. His work offers a window into Victorian medical thinking and the early effort to turn drug treatment into a more systematic science.
