Frederick Treves (1853 – 1923), an English surgeon, is now most widely remembered for his association with Joseph Merrick (the so-called Elephant Man). Treves was also renowned in his day as a formidable surgeon, particularly with regard to the treatment of appendicitis (vol II, pg 402 in this work). He was personal friends with Merrick and also eventually performed his autopsy.
