Houston of the Rectal Valves of Houston John Houston (1802–1845) was born in the north of Ireland and, at an early age, was adopted by a physician uncle. An avid interest in anatomy led him to become curator of the museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin. In 1826, he was awarded an MD degree by Edinburgh University. Returning to Dublin, he was appointed to the surgical staff of the newly established municipal hospital where he established his reputation as a keen clinical observer and a deft operator. In 1830, he published a description of the prominent mucosal folds that characterize the lumen of the rectum. His untimely demise came when he was fatally stricken by a cerebral hemorrhage while giving a lecture to students. —Contributed by WILLIAM S. HAUBRICH, MD The Scripps Clinic, La Jolla, California
