Excerpt from The Natural History of the Human Teeth: Explaining Their Structure, Use, Formation, Growth, and Diseases; Illustrated With Copper-Plates
In 1755, John Hunter assisted his brother in delivering a course of lectures; but through life the task was a painful one to him, and he never attained to fluency and clearness Of expression. In 1760, his health seems to have been impaired by his exertions and in the recollection that one brother had already died under similar circum stances, his friends procured him a situation in the army, as being less intensely laborious than his mode of life. He served as a staff surgeon in Portugal and at the siege of Bellisle. On returning to London he recommenced the teaching of practical anatomy.
