A scarce title; seldom seen.William Withey Gull 1816-1890 was a famous British physician best known for his close association with London's Guy's Hospital. He was born aboard a barge his father was a barge owner and began his career as a schoolmaster. However through the intercession of a friend and mentor he was brought to London where he attended lectures at Guy's Hospital. His career advanced rapidly and in 1851 he became an assistant physician and in 1856 a full physician of the hospital. In 1869 he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society and he was created a baronet in 1872. His fame rests mainly on his clinical work although he published papers on cholera rheumatic fever and paraplegia. Some recent commentators suspect that he may have been 'Jack the Ripper' although at the time of the murders he was in his 70s and had suffered a stroke. William Baly 1814-1861 was a British physician who completed his medical studies at the Royal College of Surgeons with post-graduate work at Paris Berlin and Heidelberg.
