John Misaubin was a French physician who settled in London some time after 1697. He married the daughter of Louis XIV’s apothecary and became a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1719. He left no writings, but is mentioned in contemporaneous literature (Norman Moore, Misaubin, John (16731734), rev.
