About Prof. Johan Leche, MD

https://docplayer.se/18830463-Johan-leche-och-vaderleken.html

Johan Leche föddes i Barkåkra prästgård i Skåne som son till kyrkherden Jöns Leche och hans hustru Kristina Paulin.

Leche blev student i Lund och var under sin studenttid informator hos en assessor Bildensköld på Simonstorp i Skåne. Denne hade vid något tillfälle yttrat en önskan, att hans barn skulle få lära sig naturalhistoria, vilket fick Leche att börja sina naturstudier, vilka snart fångade honom så, att han övergav sin föresats att träda i kyrkans tjänst och istället beslöt att bli läkare.

På förord av arkiater Kilian Stobaeus kallades Leche 1735 till anatomie prosektor och utnämndes, sedan han vunnit medicine doktorsgraden 1740, samma år till provinsialläkare i Skaraborgs län. Fem år senare antogs han till ostindiska kompaniets läkare i Göteborg, och invaldes samma år till ledamot av Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien och befordrades 1748 till medicine professor i Åbo.

Såsom naturforskare njöt Leche hög aktning av Linné, som ofta begagnade sig av hans uppgifter, särskilt i läran om fåglarna, och till hans ära uppkallade ett örtsläkte Lechea och en insektart Pahlæna Lecheana.

Av Leches efterlämnade skrifter märks främst Dissertatio sistens primitias Floræ Scaniæ. Leche var mångsidig och företog bland annat meteorologiska observationer, ordnade mineralsamlingar, uppbyggde en anatomisal och ett kemiskt laboratorium. Som läkare gjorde han sin främsta insats genom att främja koppympningen.

Han var sedan 1748 gift med Helena Elisabeth Svenonius.

Biography:

Leche studied four years in Lund to become a priest but has to seek employment for economic reasons. In the following four years he was the informant at Simonstorp, Blentarp, Malm, at the headquarters of N Bildensköld, who wanted his children to be taught even in natural history. L, who was ignorant in this area, has to conduct self-study. After some time, science found more attractive than theology. He sold his Hebrew Bible, acquired textbooks in anatomy and botany, collected plants, birds and insects, and wrote a Florula Simonstorpiana describing 500 cultured and wild Skånska plants. In 1733, he returned to Lund to study medicine, after having shown his impressive plant catalog o his zoological collections as a private man of the learned archist Kilian Stob æ us.

Leach now studied with zeal, o after two years, he received the power of attorney as anatomy prosecutor. Besides the studies, he handled the archipelago's natural collection o correspondence o assisted him in his medical practice. Proposed by Stobaeus, he became a provincial counselor in Mariestad, but after less than a year he left this laboriously paid service, o returned to Lund, where he was accepted as a counsel for his future father-in-law, interest rate chief Svenonius. Encouraged by Linné, for example, to test his findings of Skånska naturalier, he continued around Lund o while traveling in the interest masters case studying plants, birds and insects. In difficult competition he sought the Lund University professor in practical medicine and then presented a botanical dissertation Primitias Florae Scanicae, in which he lists 182 Skånska medicinal plants. He received the 3rd room on the proposal o traveled to Sthlm in order to encourage promotion by promotion.

Leche did not become a professor in Lund, but during his visit, he made valuable acquaintances. During visit to Uppsala, he contacted Linné, who would be behind both his appointment as a doctor at the Ostindian company in Gbg o his involvement in VA. In his surroundings, he gathered herbs, birds, seafood and fossils, gave private lessons in botany, inspired by Stob et us, later by VA secretary P Elvius, notes of weather and temperature. He still announced his discoveries to Linnaeus, which, in various contexts, invokes him both in Flora Svecica and Fauna Svecica, praising his knowledge in his Västgötaresa, o called Lechea, the flock of plants, after him.

On behalf of Companion Director Magnus Lagerström (p. 176), L prepared an instruction for ships priests, according to which, as a result of years, the heaviest weighting of the soul-bearer became a knowledge of zoology and botany. His work as a doctor saw him as a burden, o when he 48 - recommended by Linnaeus and other members of VA - had become a professor in Turku, he thanked Chancellor GG Tessin for the appointment, which saved him from "faking his time at the beds of sick people ".

Leche's year as a pro was no great time for medicine in Turku. Only one medical licentiate was examined; I tried to cure sick and left no clinical or anatomical evidence of pressure. He was active on the occurrence of anatomical o lasarette, o he gained a certain reputation as a specialist when he was the first in Finland to infect one of his daughters. For the 64th anniversary of Finland, he wrote an article on the care of childhood children. By the way, his only medical record during these years was a rector's speech about the nature of the air in Turku. It was based on own observations o Provides instructions for house construction, heating of homes and clothes, o contains speculation about the climate's impact on health and disease. The speech was not kept in Latin, but in Swedish it is considered to be the first hygienic writing of importance published at Turku University.

Leche, who had periods of difficulty and diligence, was ambitious and worked hard. He learned English to be able to read dissertations o Finnish of courtesy to his new home.

His scientific research also served as a professor of medicine mainly in the natural histoire and meteorology, then regarded as auxiliary sciences for medical art. In his garden he tried for Finland foreign plants, some of which were generally grown. He published 17 essays in VAH, most of them with botanical-economic content, o on behalf of the academy, he wrote a wide spread of information about wild transplantation (64). The systematic botany had less time, but among his left-handed manuscripts there was a rich contention, during his previous professor's year, compiled Flora Fennica, destroyed at Turku in 1827.

In one of the two dissertations given under the leadership of L, he dared - without mentioning any names - oppose Linnés o many others' conviction that the swallows were wintering on the seabed.

When the dissertation finds that this theory must be incorrect, the author builds on Leches multi-annual notes on the arrival of the swallows and moving o on a handful experiment, which Linnaeus seems to have neglected. Man squeezed down a rubbish trap under water and found that too bad treatment o flared up as soon as it was released. In VAH 62 o 63,

Leche published 12 observations of temperature, air pressure, weather, thunderstorms, northern lights, ice floods, flowering times and migratory birds' arrival and departure.

His careful and systematic meteorological observations are a prominent piece of science research. O became a pattern for many followers in this branch of natural history. By the mid-50's he undertook to organize the unions geological collections, and later he was freed from his medical duties, because he lectured over the mineral cabinet.
