M.D. John Bond

Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from the sources I found. He is identified as John Bond, M.D., the writer of An Essay on the Incubus, or Night-mare, first published in 1753.

That work stands out as an early medical attempt to explain nightmares and related sleep experiences in rational, clinical terms rather than purely supernatural ones. Because reliable details about his life were scarce in the sources available, it is safest to remember him mainly through this unusual and historically interesting contribution to medical writing.
