Creer:
Apprenticed at the Wolverhampton Hospital, but he never completed his medical training; entered University College, London, gaining a medical entrance scholarship the following year, and coming under the influence of Edwin Ray Lankester (FRS 1875) and, especially, John Scott Burdon-Sanderson (FRS 1867) (1880); entered Wadham College with the intention of developing his career in physiology (1885); taught physiology at Oxford; returned to University College (1888) where a professorship of general physiology was created for him (1912); sued Stephen Coleridge, secretary of the National Anti-Vivisection Society, for libel, after allegations of cruelty to an experimental animal. Bayliss won the ‘Brown Dog’ case and £2000 in damages, which he donated to University College for the support of physiological research (1903); founded, with others, the Biochemical Society (1914); contributed work to the field of wound shock, which resulted in the use of gum-saline solutions to replace lost blood, a treatment which met with considerable success with over 50,000 litres of gum-saline being sent out to the British forces in France in 1918 (1914-1918).
