==================================
William Buchan (1729 – 25 February 1805) was a Scottish physician and writer.
He is best known for his work Domestic Medicine: or, a Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of Diseases by Regimen and Simple Medicines, which provided laypeople with detailed descriptions of the causes and prevention of diseases.
Buchan's goal was one of "laying medicine more open to mankind."
