title: Dr Francis Adams of Banchory (1796-1861). "Doctissimus medicorum Britannorum".
abstract: Dr Francis Adams practised medicine in Banchory from 1819-1861. At that time there was no translation in English of the classic medical literature of the Greeks, Romans and Arabians. Almost entirely self-taught, and in spite of the demands of a large scattered practice, Dr Adams found time to remedy this deficiency.
