physician who was the first to record coronary arteriosclerosis (hardening of the walls of the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle) in association with a case of angina pectoris.
Fothergill, a Quaker, studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh and later became a highly successful London practitioner. His “Account of the Sore Throat Attended with Ulcers” (1748) was the first authoritative paper on diphtheria. He also described facial neuralgia and migraine.

A friend of Benjamin Franklin, he collaborated with him on a plan for British reconciliation with the American colonies (1774).
