Thomas Sydenham
Thomas Sydenham (10 September 1624 – 29 December 1689) was an
English physician. He was the author of ''Observationes Medicae'' (1676) which became a standard textbook of medicine for two centuries so that he became known as 'The English
Hippocrates'. Among his many achievements was the discovery of a disease,
Sydenham's chorea, also known as St Vitus' Dance. To him is attributed the prescient dictum, "A man is as old as his arteries."
