Mortimer Frank

Mortimer Frank (May 26, 1874 – April 21, 1919) was an American ophthalmologist who took a special interest in the history of medicine.

[1] Also in 1905, he began to examine the history of ophthalmology with a paper on the charlatan eye surgeons "John Taylor and Sir William Read", and in 1915 he became secretary of the Chicago Society of Medical History, editing its journal.

At his own expense he produced a reprint of Henry Morley's Anatomy in Long Clothes in 1915.

His translation of the work of Johann Ludwig Choulant led to his being made a member of the German Medical History Society in 1916.

[2][3][4] Mortimer Frank died in Chicago on April 21, 1919, and was buried at Rosehill Cemetery.
