William Alexander Hammond (1828–1900) was an eminent American neurologist and one of the forerunners in the study of nervous disorders. Educated at the University of Pennsylvania, he later joined the army and served as Surgeon General during the Civil War. Post military tenure, Hammond established himself as a leading figure in the medical field, particularly in neurology. He was the founder of the American Neurological Association and held the position of professor of diseases of the mind and nervous system at the Bellevue Hospital Medical College. Hammond's scholarly contributions have had a lasting impact on medical literature. One critical work, 'Fasting Girls: Their Physiology and Pathology' is a thorough investigation into anorexia nervosa before it was widely recognized or understood. His clinical and pathological observations were pivotal in classifying various neurotic conditions, and his assertive manner of presenting evidence-based treatment methodologies underscored his diligence in his medical pursuits. Hammond's writing style was precise and analytical, often embracing complex scientific principles and delivering them in a coherent and comprehensive manner. His extensive research and literary output encompass several significant medical texts that continue to be referenced in the study of physiological and psychological disorders. Overall, William A. Hammond remains a seminal figure in the annals of medical history, with his works still providing valuable insights into the early understanding and approach to nervous diseases.
