BENJAMIN  WATERHOUSE
(1754-1846)
w\
Physician and scientist Benjamin Waterhouse was a pioneer in smallpox vaccination.
f
Waterhouse was born into a Quaker family, although he never adopted the religion as his own. Born and raised in Rhode Island, his medical career began at age 16, when he apprenticed for a doctor in his hometown. At age 21, he left the United States to study medicine in Europe at several notable institutions, such as with Dr. John Fothergill in London. He was also educated in Edinburgh at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. He matriculated October 28, 1778 at Leiden University in The Netherlands and received at the same University his medical degree April 19, 1780.
While living in the Netherlands, Waterhouse roomed with John Adams.
f
In 1783 Waterhouse formed, with John Warren and Aaron Dexter, the first faculty of the Harvard Medical School.
f
Upon reading in 1799 of the work of Edward Jenner, the British surgeon and doctor who discovered vaccination, Waterhouse began a lifelong crusade for vaccination in the United States, beginning with his five-year-old son.
f
Waterhouse first wrote to then-President John Adams, his former roommate, hoping to spread the word about cowpox vaccinations preventing smallpox. When he found President Adams unresponsive, he wrote a letter to Vice President Thomas Jefferson: "A prospect of exterminating the smallpox."
f
Jefferson replied with a letter dated Christmas Day, 1800, and soon offered his support. Once Jefferson became President the following year, Waterhouse introduced Edward Jenner's method of cowpox vaccination in the United States. He attempted to maintain a monopoly over the cowpox vaccine, for both financial reasons and to protect the vaccine from incompetent or fraudulent physicians.
f
Waterhouse made the first vaccinations in the United States on four of his children. He commissioned a controlled experiment at the Boston Board of Health in which 19 vaccinated and 2 unvaccinated boys were exposed to the smallpox virus. The vaccinated boys demonstrated immunity, and both unvaccinated boys succumbed to the disease.
f
Benjamin Waterhouse was in his day perhaps the best-educated physician in North America.

If you go to

,
you can see the entire "1775 Almanac" episode
I was the handwriting expert contacted in the "1775 Almanac" episode on the PBS series "History
Detectives" which was televised on Tuesday, September 6, 2011. I was asked to identify the writer of the notes handwritten on the pages of the almanac, notes that recorded, among other events, the Battles of Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill.
The unknown owner of the almanac had used it as a diary. Filmed in the Library of Congress, I compared the writing in the almanac with a signed letter handwritten in 1779. --- Herman Darvick
