Lyman was born on June 5, 1775 in Cornish, New Hampshire, United States, the son of Dyer Spalding and Elizabeth Cady (Parkhurst) Spalding, and a descendant of Edward Spalding who came to America from England before 1640.
At the age of seven, he entered the academy at Charlestown, Massachussets, was graduated in July 1794, and almost immediately began the study of medicine under the tutelage of Nathan Smith, 1762-1829. In the winter of the same year, he began to attend lectures at the Harvard Medical School, and the following year carried on the practice of Dr. Smith while the latter was away on a visit to Europe.
He resumed his studies at Harvard and was graduated in 1797 with the degree of M. B. Later Harvard honored him with the M. D. degree and Dartmouth College with the M. B. and M. D. degrees.
From 1797 to 1799, Spalding lectured on chemistry and materia medica at the medical school which had just been organized at Dartmouth. During this time he prepared a translation of a French book on chemistry which he published in 1799 under the title A New Nomenclature of Chemistry.
Realizing that he could not make a living by lecturing, he settled in Walpole, New Hampshire, with the intention of establishing a practice there, but soon moved to Portsmouth where he served as a contract army surgeon for the troops stationed at the fort in the harbor. He rapidly built up an extensive private practice and was compelled to discontinue his lectures at Dartmouth.
Spalding practised in Portsmouth from 1799 to 1812.
He obtained a portion of the first shipment of smallpox vaccine from England to the United States and immediately began experimentation. His activity as an investigator during this period is further manifested by his invention of a galvanic battery for therapeutic use, the perfection of a method for the preparation of oxygen for inhalation, and the invention of a soda fountain.
In 1810 Spalding formed a connection with an academy at Fairfield, New York, and lectured there on chemistry and surgery for seven years.
In the last year, he started the publication of a book in pamphlet form on the institutes of medicine but it was never completed. Following this period, he established a residence in New York City, practised his profession, pursued the investigations which interested him, and wrote until his untimely death.
A committee was appointed, with Spalding as chairman, to suggest measures for the elaboration of a national pharmacopoeia. The plan worked out by this committee provided that a national convention be held of delegates chosen from each of four sections into which the United States was divided.
A convention was held in Washington, on January 1, 1820, plans for the elaboration of the book were agreed upon, and Spalding was made chairman of the committee on publication. This committee set to work immediately and made such rapid progress that the book was completed and printed by December 15, 1820.
He died in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
