JOHN CHARLES THOROWGOOD (1833 – 1913) was born at Totteridge, the son of a schoolmaster, and educated in his father's school. At University College, London, he studied classical subjects before entering the medical faculty. A Fellowes medallist, he qualified in 1855 and spent a short period in general practice with a brother-in-law at Kettering. He then took charge of a patient visiting the south of France and returned to start a consulting practice in London. He was first appointed to the staff of the Royal General Dispensary, and then, in 1863, to the City of London Hospital for Diseases of the Chest, where twenty-two years later he was made consulting physician. He also became assistant physician to the West London Hospital and was full physician from 1873 to 1885. He lectured on materia medica and therapeutics at the Middlesex Hospital from 1872 to 1888, and was examining physician to the Royal National Hospital for Consumption.
