ABSTRACT BERTRAM HENRY BUXTON was the eldest son of Mr. Charles Buxton, M.P., of Fox Warren, Cob-ham, Surrey. He was born in 1852 and was educated at Eton. He entered the business with which


his family was associated, but did not find it congenial. Preferring travel, he was a frequent visitor to the United States; on one of his visits, medicine attracted him. Having voluntarily


undertaken duty on board a passenger vessel in quarantine because of cholera, he followed up his observations through the Health Officer of the Port of New York, who introduced Buxton to


bacteriology. At Cornell he studied in the Post Graduate Laboratory and rapidly became proficient. His keen mind quickly appreciated medicinal science. The University gave him a


doctor's degree, and finally he occupied the chair of bacteriology. ARTICLE PDF ENJOYING OUR LATEST CONTENT? LOGIN OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT TO CONTINUE * Get immediate access to this
