Haughton, Samuel (1821-97): author of "Animal Mechanics, a Manual of

November 1862 Darwin wrote to Sir J.D. Hooker: "Do you know whether
there are two Rev. Prof. Haughtons at Dublin? One of this name has made
a splendid medical discovery of nicotine counteracting strychnine and
tetanus? Can it be my dear friend? If so, he is at full liberty for
the future to sneer [at] and abuse me to his heart's content."

permanent value than his criticism on the "Origin of Species."
