Research Facts
Dr. Gregory (1803 - 1858) was a professor of chemistry in 1837 at the Andersonian Institution, Glasgow; 1839 at King's College, Aberdeen and in 1844 at Edinburgh University. Known for "Gregory's Powder", a mixture of rhubard rhizome, ginger and magnesium carbonate, which was for over 150 years one of the most prescribed medicines in Pharmacopoeia.
In the 1950 – 60s this portrait collection was compiled by Dr. Thomas Gibson, and later by Dr. Etherington, from old publications to create a historical medical gallery of pioneers of modern medical sciences for teaching medical students at Queen’s University, Kingston. Many of these prints do not indicate the date of the publication or source. Original prints are heavily glued to thick paper backing. Prints were framed at Kirkpatrick’s Art & Flower Store in Kingston, Ontario, as noted on the blue paper labels on the reverse.
Ginger is an all-around herb and a warming herb that has been shown to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, boost your immunities, and even help to relieve coughs and sore throats.
