Details:
Was Surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital, and practised in Old Broad Street, EC, where he died on April 22nd, 1846. Publications:- In the *Lancet*, 1846, I, 276, Eccles reported a case of ovarian dropsy treated according to the method of Isaac B Brown (qv), Consulting Accoucheur to the Paddington Lying-in Charity, who combined tapping with tight bandaging of the abdomen, the administration of mercury to produce salivation, and diuretics. (*Lancet*, 1846, I, 33, 81, 197.) The patients had been treated expectantly by others, even tapping being delayed as long as possible. Brown's measures were calculated to trouble the patient without affording further relief than that obtained by the tapping. *Observations on the Ulcerative Process and its Treatment, particularly when affecting the Leg*, 8vo, London, 1834.
