William Newnham
Newnham (1790–1865) was an influential medical practitioner with special interests in obstetrics, pharmacology and the brain. In this 1830 publication he argues, from a firmly Christian perspective, that 'supernatural' manifestations, such as visions, arise from the effects on the brain of material influences such as disease, medications and trauma.
