John Ruhräh (September 26, 1872 – March 10, 1935) was an American pediatrician, and medical historian who was known for his major contributions to the history of pediatrics.
Born at Chillicothe, Ohio on September 26, 1872, of German parentage, he acquired his early education in the public schools of his town.[1] After graduating from Chillicothe High school in 1891, he moved to Baltimore, the home of his maternal grandmother, to study medicine. In 1894, he received his M.D. from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in the University of Maryland School of Medicine and did his post-graduate work at Johns Hopkins. He then became an Assistant Resident Physician, (1894–1895); and Resident Physician (1895–1897) to Mercy hospital and demonstrator of bacteriology to Maryland's University.[1] In 1897 he went abroad to study at Pasteur Institute in Paris, and upon his return, he was appointed Physician in Charge of the Pasteur Department of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, then quarantine physician to the port of Baltimore from 1898 to 1900.
Ruhräh published the first papers on the use of soy bean in infant feeding.
After a painful illness, John Ruhräh died in Mercy Hospital, Baltimore, at 3 a.m on Sunday morning, March 10, 1935, at the age of 62.[1]
