Charles Broady Mingaye Syder (1797-1871): medical temperance pioneer.
Mingaye Syder was a general practitioner, a medical teacher, a notable writer and editor of medical textbooks, and an outstanding early advocate of temperance. He started a temperance dispensary, possibly the first of its kind, and was the founder and editor of two medical temperance periodicals. Financial success eluded him, however, and he was twice imprisoned for debt. He later emigrated to Victoria, where he was a country doctor for the last 20 years of his life.
