Andrew Ure (May 18, 1778 - January 2, 1857) was a Scottish doctor, scholar, chemist, Scriptural geologist and early business theorist. In 1818 Ure revealed experiments he had been carrying out on a murderer/thief named Matthew Clydesdale, after the man's execution by hanging. He claimed that, by stimulating the phrenic nerve, life could be restored in cases of suffocation, drowning or hanging.
