Joseph Browne (bap.1673 d. in or after 1721) was a physician and satirist known as a ‘notorious quack’. He graduated from Jesus College Cambridge in 1694 with MB and assumed the title MD, though it is not sure from which college. Browne practiced as a physician in Yorkshire and published satirical works that got him accused of libelling Queen Anne’s Administration. He clashed with the College of Physicians and lectured against William Hervey’s theory of the Circulation of Blood. However, Browne did translate significant medical works to English.
