Geschiedenis
Alexander Ramsay was born in 1754. He studied medicine at Edinburgh University, and obtained his medical degree from St Andrews. He was an anatomist, who founded a school of anatomy at Fryeburg, Maine, and gave lectures in America and England to support the school. He studied rattlesnake venom, and a snake bite could have been the cause of his death in 1824.
