Robert Thaxter Edes was an American physician, neurologist and a professor of Clinical Medicine at Harvard.
Background
Robert T. Edes was born on September 23, 1838, at Eastport, Maine, the son of Richard Sullivan Edes, a Unitarian clergyman, and Mary Cushing. He came of English ancestors, being descended from John Edes, who settled in Massachusetts about 1674.
Education
Edes graduated from Harvard College in 1858 and from the Harvard Medical School in 1861.
Career
After a short period of hospital service, he was appointed an acting assistant surgeon in the United States navy, September 30, 1861. He resigned May 31, 1865, after serving as medical officer on a mortar flotilla on the Mississippi River below New Orleans and in Pensacola Bay, in addition to doing duty in various hospital posts. Twice promoted, Edes finally attained the rank of passed assistant surgeon at the age of twenty-seven.
Returning to Boston, he began to practise medicine and to teach in the Harvard Medical School and at the Boston City Hospital. His first publication was a prize essay on The Part Taken by Nature and Time 1 n the Cure of Disease (1868).
In 1871 Edes was appointed assistant professor, and in 1875 professor, of materia medica, and in 1884 Jackson Professor of Clinical Medicine, in the Harvard Medical School. He is said to have been a scholarly and erudite instructor, his differential diagnoses being models of accuracy and thoroughness.
In 1885 he founded, with Delafield, Osier, Pepper, and others, the Association of American Physicians. A year later he resigned from the Harvard Medical School because of illness in his family, and went to Washington, District of Columbia, where Edes remained for five years ; during this period he wrote his Text-Book of Therapeutics and Materia Medica (1887), in addition to lecturing at Columbian and Georgetown universities. He then became superintendent of the Adams Nervine Asylum in Boston, a position which he held for six years. Here he wrote The Story of Rodman Heath; or, Mugwumps by one of them (1894), an anonymous novel, based partly on his Civil War experiences.
The next year he delivered the Shattuck lecture before the Massachusetts Medical Society on "The New England Invalid, " a lecture which reviewed his experiences at the Adams Nervine Asylum and "foreshadowed with extraordinary perspicacity the modern trend in the treatment of the psychoncuroses". After an unsuccessful attempt to establish a small private sanatorium for patients with nervous diseases, Edes retired from practise. The death of his son at the age of thirty-two, in 1901, a young man of exceptional promise in medicine, was a blow from which Edes never recovered.
He continued to write, however, for the daily papers of Springfield, Massachusetts. His last publication, Parson Gays Three Sermons; or Saint Sacrement (1908), appearing a few years after he retired, was a novel of the Indian Wars of 1757 - 1758. He died on January 12, 1923, at Springfield, Massachusetts, in his eighty-fifth year, after a long period of semi-invalidism.
In 1885, Robert T. Edes founded the Association of American Physicians. In addition, Edes was a member of the Philosophical Society of Washington, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Neurological Association, and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion.
Connections
On April 30, 1867, Robert T. Edes married Elizabeth T. Clarke of Boston, by whom he had three daughters and a son.
After the death of his first wife, on December 2, 1877, Edes married Anna C. Richardson, of Dorchester, Massachusetts. She died in 1921.
