Biographical History
Henry Ingersoll Bowditch, the son of Nathaniel Bowditch and Mary Ingersoll Bowditch, was a physician, author and abolitionist from Salem, Massachusetts.
U.S. specialist in diseases of the chest.
Henry Ingersoll Bowditch (Aug. 9, 1808-Jan. 14, 1892), son of mathematician and astronomer Nathaniel Bowditch, was an abolitionist and physician. He published several books on medicine and public hygiene.
Charles Babbage was a mathematician and inventor.
Bowditch (Harvard, M.D. 1832) later studied medicine with Louis La Pitié in Paris, and after returning to Boston, Mass., became an abolitionist. He taught clinical medicine at the Harvard Medical School from 1859 to 1867, chaired the first Massachusetts State Board of Health, and co-founded the Boston Society of Medical Observation. Bowditch was an early specialist in diseases of the chest and introduced the practice of thoracentesis. With La Pitié in Paris, he studied diagnosis by ausculation and percussion. Following the Civil War he agitated for the introduction of ambulance service.
