Excerpt from The Anatomy and Physiology of Expression, and the Human Teeth in Their Relations to Mastication, Speech, and Appearance: Two Addresses In giving the subject a fuller development, my aim has been to treat it in a suggestive mann'er, so that a spirit of inquiry might be awakened in a direction not only attractive and instructive in its nature, but also capable, if the information gained is rightly applied, of being made subservient to the comfort and happiness of others. Within the limits of two brief addresses it was of course impossible to enter upon the minuter description of structure, or to make that extended practical application of which the subject is susceptible. This can only be done in a regular and systematic course of lectures. Recognizing the importance of such a course, it has ever been my practice, as a public teacher, to present these and analogous subjects to the attention of stu dents in the broadest, most extended, and practical manner possible, in my winter course of lectures on anatomy, physiology, and hygiene.

John Hugh McQuillen was a son of Hugh and Martha (Scattergood) McQuillen, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
McQuillen received his early education in the Friends' schools of that city. At the age of sixteen he became a clerk in an importing house, but in 1847, he began the study of medicine.
In 1849, he also became student-assistant to Elisha Townsend, a well-known dentist of Philadelphia, and was shortly enrolled as a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Dental Surgeons. He received the degree of M. D. from the Jefferson Medical College in 1852, and from that year until 1861 he was associated in the practice of dentistry with Daniel Neall.
Beginning in 1861, McQuillen practiced independently in Philadelphia. From 1852 to 1859, he contributed eight articles to the Dental News Letter, which periodical was succeeded in the latter year by the Dental Cosmos, with McQuillen as one of its editors. He was a professor of operative dentistry and dental pathology in the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery from 1857 to 1862.
In the latter year, he severed his connection with this college because of his dissatisfaction with the selection of a new member of the faculty, and in 1863, he founded the Philadelphia Dental College, of which until his death he was dean and professor of anatomy, physiology, and hygiene.
During the Civil War, he served gratuitously as a surgeon in the military hospitals at Philadelphia, and in that capacity was present at the battle of Antietam. In 1865 he was president of the association. In 1863 he was one of the organizers and first corresponding secretary of the Odontographic Society of Philadelphia and served as its president from 1868 to 1870.
In 1866, he was the first corresponding secretary of the Association of the Colleges of Dentistry. He also served as president of the Pennsylvania Association of Dental Surgeons and was a member of several other societies at home and abroad.
From 1865 to 1872, he was editor-in-chief of the Dental Cosmos, and he contributed many articles to its pages and to other dental journals. His published papers and addresses, some of which were translated into foreign languages, number altogether over one hundred. They relate chiefly to dental anatomy, physiology, pathology, and histology.
He died in his fifty-fourth year and was interred in Woodland Cemetery, Philadelphia.
In 1859, McQuillen had been one of the prime movers in the organization of the American Dental Association, for which, under the pseudonym of Junius, he made the originally published call, in an article in the Dental News Letter. He was one of the first in America to demonstrate the importance of microscopical knowledge of the human teeth in health and disease, his earliest paper in this connection appearing in 1857, with others following from 1862 to 1874. He was the founder of the biological and microscopical section of the Academy of Natural Science at Philadelphia, of which he was a member for many years.

With liberal religious views, McQuillen had due respect for all denominations, but affiliated with none.
McQuillen insisted upon a thorough preliminary as well as professional education for a dentist, and he labored unremittingly in his private practice and at his duties in the college founded by him, until he broke under the strain shortly before his death.
McQuillen was impulsive and aggressive, but nevertheless generous and hospitable. He was a skillful practitioner of dentistry and a conscientious teacher.
In 1852, McQuillen married Amelia D. Schellenger, and they had five children.
