Arthur Robertson Cushny was born on March 6, 1866 at Fochabers, Morayshire, Scotland. He was the son of the Reverend John Cushny of Speymouth, Scotland, by his wife, Catherine Ogilvie Brown.
After attending a rural school Cushny went to the University of Aberdeen, where he received the degree of Master of Arts in 1886.
He then took up the study of medicine at Marischal College, Aberdeen, from which he graduated in 1889 with highest honors, taking Doctor of Medicine in 1892. While Cushny was at Aberdeen, J. T. Cash, the physiologist, aroused his interest in the physiological action of drugs, and in order to enlarge his experience in this field, he went to study on the Continent, spending a year in the laboratory of Oswald Schmiedeberg at Strassburg, and several months with Hugo Kronecker, the physiologist of Berne, from whom he learned the elements of physiological technique.
Though only twenty-seven years of age, Cushny rapidly made a place for himself at Michigan.
In 1893 at the instigation of Prof. J. J. Abel, he accepted the chair of pharmacology which the latter had just resigned at the University of Michigan. In addition to bearing heavy responsibilities as a teacher, he was active in research and also found time in 1899 to prepare his Text-Book of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, a well-written work which has held the field in English almost without a rival for thirty years, a posthumous edition (the ninth) having been brought out in 1928.
His first paper appeared in 1897 (Journal of Experimental Medicine), and his later observations were summarized in 1925 in a monograph, The Action and Uses in Medicine of Digitalis and Its Allies.
His interest in the physiological action of optical isomers, which extended over many years, also culminated in a monograph, which was published posthumously, The Biological Relation of Optically Isometric Substances (1926).
He took up the subject of the mechanism of kidney secretion about 1900, and between 1901 and 1904 contributed to it a scries of three important papers published in the Journal of Physiology.
Cushny stayed at Ann Arbor until 1905, when he accepted the chair of pharmacology at University College, London. There he remained until 1918 when he received a call from Edinburgh to succeed Sir Thomas Fraser. To each of the three chairs which he occupied he brought prestige and dignity.
On his removal to Scotland he secured an historic manor house near Edinburgh, the “Dumbiedykes” of the Heart of Midlothian, where he was able to withdraw somewhat from public life and to entertain the many students and physicians which an international reputation and a kindly disposition had brought to him in increasing numbers.
