Four cardboard tickets for Mr. John Hubbard to attend medical lectures at the University of Pennsylvania, each 5 x 3 1/2 inches. Lectures on Anatomy by Philip Syng Physick, M.D. Dec. 1820; Materia Medica & Pharmacy by John Redman Coxe, Dec. 1820; Materia Medica & Pharmacy, Dec. 1821 by John Redman Coxe; Practical Anatomy by Philip Syng Physick and Wm. E. Horner, Sept. 1829.
Physick was one of the most sought-after medical lecturers of the 19th century. It is because of his status as a teacher that he was dubbed the "Father of American Surgery".
John Redman Coxe (1773 - 1864) was a physician and professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Coxe, was reportedly descended from a long line of medical and surgical ancestors, several of whom, at different periods, were physicians to the kings and queens of England. Despite his lengthy tenure as a professor, the University of Pennsylvania medical faculty "found the subject of materia medica and pharmacy to be of secondary interest" and "had little respect for Coxe's abilities as a teacher", leading to the termination of his teaching position in 1835.
William Edmunds Horner was Physick's successor and discovered the tensor tarsi muscle (1824).
