Archibald Gloucester (308)

Archibald Gloucester (?–1773) was a physician, surgeon, and a member of the American Philosophical Society, elected in 1771. From the Carribean island of Antigua, Gloucester presumably studied medicine and began practicing in the city of Saint John’s. He gained the attention of the APS in 1769, when his paper on the treatment of a man with tetanus and lock-jaw found its way into the Transactions, presented by prominent physician and APS member, John Morgan.
