EDINBURGH MEDICAL JOURNAL 1907 . . . EDITORIAL - DR. ALEXANDER PEDDIE
It is not vouchsafed to many of the sons of men to cross
the hundred arches of the bridge of Mirza. A few escape the
“ Gates of Death” until they have passed the seventy
unbroken spans, but the numbers crossing the ruined arches
steadily lessen as they, like the subject of the present
notice, near the end of the visionary bridge. On high
authority it has been asserted that the later years of such
men are “but labour and sorrow”, yet the career of the
doyen of the Scottish medical profession shows that such a
statement is not of universal application. The retrospect
of a life remarkable for its usefulness and rich in its
fulfilment, instinct with broad sympathies and devoted to
wide interests, distinguished by generosity of thought and
magnanimity of mind, could not fail to furnish peace and
happiness, and this feeling was undoubtedly enhanced by the
assurance, on all hands, of the universal love and respect
of his fellow-countrymen.
Alexander Peddie belonged to the “Brahmin caste, ” as the Autocrat puts it,
and was the son of an eminent minister in Edinburgh. Born in 1810, his
earliest memories centred in the stirring scenes marking the decline and
fall of the great Napoleon.
At the High School he was a member of one of
the large classes characteristic of the time: that to which he belonged
included many men who afterwards attained distinction, all of whom passed
away before him. On leaving school, he spent a few years in a bank, but,
on the advice of Dr. Abercromby, he decided to study medicine, and became
in 1830 an apprentice to Mr. Syme at Minto House, where he was associated
with his lifelong friend, John Brown. Graduating at the University five
years later, he repaired to the Continent, and devoted himself more
particularly to study in Paris, whose medical school was then at the
zenith of one of its most famous epochs. It is of interest to note that on
his return to engage in practice, he was the first to introduce the stethoscope to Edinburgh. In addition to engaging in
private practice, Dr. Peddie, in combination with Dr. Brown and Dr.
Cornwall, accepted the charge of the hospital at Minto House. From this
time onwards until his retirement, a few years ago, Dr. Peddie spent an
active life and enjoyed a large practice in his native city. He did not
restrict his energies, by any means, to medicine, but allowed his wide
sympathies free scope in many directions; his professional duties,
however, were ever first in his thoughts. At all times possessed of an
open mind, he was quick to detect any possibility of advances in
knowledge. As a proof of this, it may be mentioned that he was the
earliest to demonstrate in Edinburgh the animal parasites of skin
diseases. In two other directions, at least, he was far in advance of his
compeers.
At a comparatively early period of his career he recognized the
infectious nature of puerperal fever, and strove with all his energies to
o btain wide recognition of the fact. His name thus deserves to be
placed along with those of Oliver Wendell Holmes and Semmelweiss as one of the
pioneers in a great advance. Some years ago Professor Osler wrote to ask
Dr. Wendell Holmes whether he looked back with greater pleasure to his
paper on “ Puerperal Infectivity, ” or to the composition of the “
Chambered Nautilus, ” and received, as might be expected, a reply in favour
of the scientific advance rather than of the literary triumph. If a
similar query had been addressed to Dr. Peddie – if he had been asked
whether he would rather have his name associated in the future with a
practical achievement, bringing in its train the saving of countless
precious lives, or would the biography of his friend, which has delighted
a large circle of readers, there can be no question as to what his answer
would have been.
In another branch of medicine Dr. Peddie initiated
beneficial changes. Impressed by the failure attendant upon attempts to
deal with inebriates, he suggested views in regard to pathology a
nd treatment far in advance of those at the time in vogue. Earnest
consideration of the questions involved led him to the conclusion that
inebriety is to be regarded as the outcome of cerebral disease, and he,
therefore proposed that the management of such cases should be based upon
modern scientific conceptions. The practical outcome of his work in this
direction has certainly been of the highest value. Led by the results of
wide observation to recognise the want of it, he was amongst the
enlightened men who initiated the movement in favour of the institution
of a hospital for children, and to his advocacy of the cause the
foundation of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children is in great part
due. Dr. Peddie contributed numerous papers and articles upon these and
many other subjects to medical literature, the largest number of which
appeared in the pages of this Journal. These contributions are marked by
breadth of view and originality of thought, while characterised by
lucidity of style and purity of diction. During his professional care
er many
honours were bestowed upon him: he became President of the Royal College
of Physicians in 1877 and of the Harveian Society in 1890. In this latter
capacity he performed a pious duty by devoting the Annual Oration to a
delightful sketch of the life of “ Rab. ” This charming biography was
afterwards extended, and will remain one of the most graceful tributes to
friendship afforded by our profession. In his personal character Dr. Peddie
was one of the most lovable of mankind. This did not arise from weakness,
for he was equally strong in defence of what he deemed right and in
denunciation of what he considered wrong; it arose from his generous
instincts and kindly ways. These traits were ever in evidence on his
aristocratic features and in his steadfast eye; his expression was
singularly winning as it reflected his changing moods from grave to gay;
his bearing was a charming survival of a courteous past. Always fond of
music, he possessed an excellent voice, and with Professors
Christison, Bennett, and Maclagan, formed the quartet so popular in the
rendering of glees. During his later years he showed a love for the
brush, and produced water-colour sketches of much beauty.

http: //www. codexgeo. co. uk/dsa/ John Dick Peddie and his twin brother
William were born in Edinburgh on 24 February 1824, the second and
third sons of James Peddie WS and his wife Margaret Dick. Both the
Peddies and the Dicks were prominent families within the United
Associate Synod which became the United Presbyterian Church in 1848,
Peddie's grandfather the Rev Dr James Peddie of Bristo Church,
Edinburgh having been Moderator of the Burgher Synod from 1789. He
presided over the split between the Rev Dr John Brown's 'Old Light'
Burghers and his own 'New Light' Burghers in 1799.
The Rev Dr James
Peddie married twice, his first marriage being to Margaret Coventry,
which brought a link by marriage with the civil and railway engineers
Benjamin Hall Blyth and Edward Lawrence Blyth which was to be
important later. His second marriage to Barbara Smith, daughter of
