• Dates: 1812-1901
  Notes: BUCKLER, Thomas Hepburn (1812-1901), Baltimore teacher and writer, was born at Evergreen, Maryland, on January 4, 1812, and was educated at St. Mary’s College, Baltimore, taking his M.D. in 1835 with a thesis on “Animal Heat.” He practiced afterwards in that city as physician to the City Almshouse, and from 1866 to 1890 he became a Paris physician under a license from the French government; then he returned to Baltimore.

  He was best known as a teacher and writer. His views were independent and original — some said original even to eccentricity. Quinan, in his “Medical Annals of Baltimore” gives a list of thirty-two of his writings, a great many of them on sanitary and social subjects, among other things, the filling up the “Basin” or inner harbor of Baltimore, with “Federal Hill,” and the introduction of the waters of the Gunpowder River for the supply of Baltimore. The latter of these recommendations was carried out many years later. He introduced phosphate of ammonia for the treatment of gout and rheumatism, and as a solvent of uric acid calculi, and the lithic acid diathesis generally; also the hydrated succinate of the peroxide of iron for the prevention of gallstones. He laid great stress in the pathology of the vessels in the cervix and the resulting malnutrition of the organ. More elaborate works are his history of the “Cholera Epidemic of 1849” and a treatise on “Fibro-bronchitis and Rheumatic Pneumonia,” 1853.

  Dr. Buckler was a man of striking personal appearance and was much sought after on account of his brilliant conversational powers and wit. He never had a large practice; in fact never sought one, and lacked the steadiness and plodding perseverance of his brother. He was twice married and left a son, William H. There are two portraits of Dr. Buckler in the building of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty, Baltimore.
