John Glaister Jr., Scottish Professor of Forensic Medicine


John Glaister, Jr. (1892-1971) son of John Glaister Senior, an eminent Scottish professor of forensic medicine. His most important publication, the textbook Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology, was initiated by his father, but Glaister, Jr. substantially revised it with the help of Dr. Edgar Rentoul. Over the course of his career, he was often consulted as a medical examiner, forensic pathologist, serologist, and expert on hairs and fibers. Glaister worked mainly in western Scotland, but also did some work in England, most famously on the Buck Ruxton case.
