William Buchan (1729 – 25 February 1805) was a Scottish physician and author. He is best known for his work Domestic Medicine: or, a Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of Diseases by Regimen and Simple Medicines, which provided laypeople with detailed descriptions of the causes and prevention of diseases. Buchan's goal was one of "laying medicine more open to mankind." With over 80,000 copies and 19 editions sold in Buchan's lifetime, it was one of the most popular medical texts in Europe and even in the European colonies in the Americas, and was translated into almost every major European language.

  • William Buchan (1729 – 1805) foi um físico escocês. Tornou-se conhecido pela publicação da obra Domestic Medicine, a qual teve vendas de mais de 80 mil cópias e foi traduzida para várias línguas europeias. Nela, Buchan argumenta contra banhos regulares, tomando a posição de que a transpiração humana seria um potente e natural inibidor de germes. Seus livros se tornaram populares nos lares da Inglaterra, Escócia, Nova Inglaterra e colônias dos EUA, no século XVIII. Embora esta primeira edição tenha sido originalmente publicada em Edimburgo, foi posteriormente reimpressa em Londres, em 1774; na Filadélfia, em 1800; em Hartford e Boston, em 1807; em Charleston, em 1828; entre outras regiões de língua inglesa. Buchan foi um dos responsáveis pela popularização do banho de mar na Europa. (pt)
