Henry Hele - Practice

Practice

Hele practised successfully as a physician in Salisbury for over 50 years. He engaged in a long-running professional controversy in the Salisbury Journal with his younger rival, John Barker (1708–1749). At a meeting on 24 September 1766, he was nominated as one of the first two physicians of the new hospital that became the Salisbury General Infirmary. Towards the end of his long life, in 1776, he became involved in a scandal concerning an alleged conspiracy by one Mary Bowes to have her sister Diana forcibly incarcerated in a lunatic asylum. Hele signed the certificate of lunacy that made the scheme possible and was indicted by a grand jury.

    The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.
