William Lee Howard

William Lee Howard (1860-1918) was an American physician and writer.

Howard was born in Hartford, Connecticut. He obtained his M.D. from University of Vermont in 1890.[1] Howard was memorably described by Howard A. Kelly, in the Dictionary of American Biography (1928) as "an eccentric, irresponsible character whose native ability was wasted in a desultory, rambling life, and in neglect of those codes which society has erected as safeguards to the perpetuity of the race. A writer of books on sex subjects, and a pamphleteer ... [he] was held to more esteem by the laity than by the profession".[1]
