William Buchan was a Scottish medical writer. He was born in 1729 and died in 1805. He was the first to publish a domestic guide to medicine, which he did with the publication of Domestic Medicine: or, the Family Physician which was published in 1769.

If you google his name there is some more pieces abt him.
