Notes From Elsewhere
Head of Household: John Stewart MACKINTOSH, St. Ines, Platts Lane, Hampstead, London, England, 31-Mar-1901
We regret to announce the death on April 10 in a London nursing home of Dr. JOHN STEWART MACKINTOSH,
who had retired to Sandgate, on the Kent coast, after many years of successful practice in Hampstead. Born
in 1871, he was educated at Brighton College and in Lausanne, and received his medical training at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and in Vienna. He qualified as M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. in 1895, and took the M.D.Durham
in 1911. He was for three years clinical assistant at the Central London Throat Hospital and assistant medical
superintendent of the Paddington Infirmary; then, in 1898, he began general practice in Platt's Lane, N.W., when
that part of Hampstead was still surrounded by fields. His practice grew with the district, and when he retired
in 1933, on account of progressive ill-health, it was one of the largest in the neighbourhood. Dr. Mackintosh
was a man of strong character and wide intellectual interests, his main hobby being anthropology. He was
an excellent draughtsman, and prepared the coloured illustrations for the section on diseases of the ear in
Allbutt's System of Medicine. Elected a member of the British Medical Association in 1909, he served as chairman
of the Hampstead Division in 1926-7, and he was also a past-president of the Hampstead Medical Society.
Dr. Mackintosh married in 1898 a daughter of Edward Ballard, M.D., F.R.S., medical inspector under the Privy
Council and the Local Government Board, who won fame as an epidemiologist and expert in sanitary science under John Simon. [BMJ Apr 22 1939
The artist, Alice Ballard, was born in November 1871. She studied at the Slade School of Art and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1897 and 1898. She married Dr James Stewart Mackintosh and they lived at the Corner House, Platts Lane.
