Brown, John (1735-1788)

Scottish physician. He was the founder of the Brunonian system of medicine: the Brunonian theory attributed disease processes to a state of too great or too little excitability of the tissues; treatment resolved itself into stimulation if the excitability was lessened and soothing remedies if the excitability was too great.

As a result of his obvious aptitude and intelligence, he was admitted free to the lectures at Edinburgh University. In 1780 he published his Elementa Medicinae, in which he explained a new system of treatment. Written in Latin he was famous as a Latin scholar this book gained him a world-wide reputation.
