Richard Russell (doctor)
Richard Russell (26 November 1687 – 1759) was an 18th century British Physician who encouraged his patients to use a form of water therapy that involved the submersion or bathing in, and drinking of, seawater. The contemporary equivalent of this is thalassotherapy, although the practice of drinking sea water has largely discontinued.

To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
God for his Richard hath in heavenly pay
A glorious angel. Then if angels fight,
Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.”

The kindly-earnest, brave, forseeing man,
Sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not blame,
