George Skene Keith (physician)

[1] Keith was a Gold Medallist in Professor James Young Simpson's class at University of Edinburgh.

[3][4] He took 30 daguerreotypes, eighteen of which were published as engravings in his father's book Evidences of the Truth of the Christian Religion in 1848.

[3][5][6] In 1847, Keith took part in an experiment with James Young Simpson and colleagues which demonstrated the use of chloroform upon humans as an anaesthetic.

[1] Keith practiced medicine successfully in Edinburgh until 1880 but later became disillusioned with the medical community and embraced simple living.

[1] He was not fond of drugs, instead he prescribed little food, fresh air, plenty of hot water and rest to his patients.
