CLARK, SIR ANDREW, Bart. (1826-1893), British physician, was born at
Aberdeen on the 28th of October 1826. His father, who also was a medical
man, died when he was only a few years old. After attending school in
Aberdeen, he was sent by his guardians to Dundee and apprenticed to a
druggist; then returning to Aberdeen he began his medical studies in the
university of that city. Soon, however, he went to Edinburgh, where in
the extra-academical school he had a student's career of the most

Bennett in the pathological department of the Royal Infirmary, and
assistant demonstrator of anatomy to Robert Knox. But symptoms of
pulmonary phthisis brought his academic life to a close, and in the hope
that the sea might benefit his health he joined the medical department
of the navy in 1848. Next year he became pathologist to the Haslar
hospital, where T.H. Huxley was one of his colleagues, and in 1853 he
was the successful candidate for the newly-instituted post of curator to
the museum of the London hospital. Here he intended to devote all his
energies to pathology, but circumstances brought him into active medical
practice. In 1854, the year in which he took his doctor's degree at
Aberdeen, the post of assistant-physician to the hospital became vacant
and he was prevailed upon to apply for it. He was fond of telling how
his phthisical tendencies gained him the appointment. "He is only a poor
Scotch doctor," it was said, "with but a few months to live; let him
have it." He had it, and two years before his death publicly declared
that of those who were on the staff of the hospital at the time of his
selection he was the only one remaining alive. In 1854 he became a
member of the College of Physicians, and
