• 谢谢分享有价值的珍贵史料，但 有一大错谬：

John Preston Maxwell

“马士敦担任永春医院院长直至1919年，当年被派往北京协和医学院担任妇科学和产科学教授。他的学生当中，就有我们都很熟悉的“万婴之母”林巧稚”。

--------

马士敦 1935年离开中国，回到英格兰；林巧稚1937年才进协和医学院。因此，他二人没有见面的可能，没有师生关系。

------------

另一来源则说： 马士敦在北京协和 1920~1940. 如果是 1940，正好是 林巧稚在校期间。

Maxwell died in March, 1921.

He had two sons, James Preston and James Laidlaw Jr., both of whom also became medical missionaries.

James Preston Maxwell (d circa 1960-1961) worked in China at Yungchun Hospital, Fukien, 1899-1919, and Changpoo, Amoy.

He was Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Peking Union Medical College, circa 1920-circa 1940. He married (Edith) Lilly Isaacson (16 December), 1899. She died 14 October, 1954. They had one child, Marjorie (Steen, nee Marjorie Gordon Maxwell, b 1908).

马士敦（John Preston Maxwell）与永春医院

按《永春县志》记载，永春医馆创办于1893年。1888年，英长老会传教医师颜大辟应邀出诊来到偏远山区永春，在城西五里街尾开设了临时诊所。1893年在真武殿边购王氏旧屋三座及田地四亩，建永春医馆，1895年建成迁入，骆约翰医生住持医馆事务。1904年，时年三十三岁的医疗传教士马士敦受英长老会差派来到永春医馆接替骆约翰医生。马士敦医生募集到巨资，於1906年在医馆原址翻建新式洋楼四座，安装了自来水、发电机等设施，配备了显微镜、外科医疗器械等齐全的医疗仪器，更拥有可能是福建的第一台X光机。在马士敦医生的努力和奉献下，永春医馆更名永春医院，成为当时国内颇具规模的一流的现代化医院。1919年马士敦医生应北京协和医院之聘，离开了他服务15年之久的永春。

1919年马士敦博士离开永春医院, 北上受聘为北京协和医学院妇产科主任，一直到1936年退休；退休后任北京协和医学院名誉教授。其间曾于1935至1937年任北京协和医学院执行委员会三成员之一（余二人为林可胜和吴宪），代行政院长职务。曾任中华医学会妇产科学分会第一任主任委员。大约在日本侵华战争全面开战之时，马士敦博士离开北京协和医院回到英国，居住于剑桥的布林克利，并在纽马克特总医院任妇产科顾问医生，直至1961年去世。生前他把自已收蔵的各种资料全部捐献给英国伯明翰大学图书档案馆。

Itineration in the Wesleyan Methodist tradition is preaching within a circuit. It is likely that Dr Maxwell combined medical and pastoral work. Unsio (Yunsiao) is now called Yunxiao.

John Preston Maxwell (5 December 1871 – 25 July 1961), son of James Laidlaw Maxwell, was a Presbyterian obstetric missionary to China.[1]

John Preston Maxwell was born on 5 December 1871 in Birmingham, where his father Dr James Laidlaw Maxwell, practised medicine. He attended University College School and University College London, before taking his clinical training at St Bartholomew's Hospital, from which he emerged with a gold medal in obstetrics and went on to work as a resident at St Bartholomew's. Then, following his devout Presbyterian faith, Maxwell became a Medical missionary for the English Presbyterian Church and, in about 1898, went to Fujian in China, where he spent the majority of his professional life. He worked at Yungchun Hospital, Fujian, from 1899 to 1919, and Changpoo, Amoy.

He specialised in obstetrics and was a leading authority on foetal osteomalacia. He became a Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Union Medical College in Beijing (a teaching hospital funded by the Rockefeller Foundation), President of the Chinese Society of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and worked as secretary to the medical committee of the Lord Mayor's Fund for the Relief of Distress in China. He was awarded the Army and Navy Medal by the Chinese Republic and was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1929.

Maxwell returned to England at some point after 1935 (possibly as a result of the invasion of Beijing by the Japanese in 1937) and lived at Brinkley, Cambridgeshire. He was elected consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist at the nearby Newmarket General Hospital. He married Edith Lilly Isaacson in 1899 (who, as a proficient artist, illustrated some of her husband's research papers) and they had one daughter, Marjorie Gordon Maxwell (later Steen), born in 1908.

John Maxwell died suddenly near his home on 25 July 1961, at the age of 89, his wife having predeceased him on 14 October 1954.

A species of Chinese snake, Opisthotropis maxwelli, is named in his honor.[2]
