SUMMARY
Encyclopaedia Britannica (11th ed., 1911) biographical article on Thomas Holloway. Cited for the account of his advertising-driven success (the article attributes it almost entirely to advertisement), the rise from 5,000l. in 1842 to about 50,000l. per annum at his death, his noted prejudice against doctors, lawyers and parsons, the statement that more than a million sterling was set apart for the Sanatorium and the College for Women at Egham, the crediting of his wife (died 1875) with the counsel that led to the college, and his death of congestion of the lungs at Sunninghill on 26 December 1883. Metadata (11th edition, volume 13, 1911) taken from the Wikisource transcription header.
NOTES
The 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica article on Thomas Holloway is a compact tertiary account cited here for the advertising history, the total of more than a million pounds sterling directed to the Sanatorium and the Egham college, the note of his prejudice against doctors, lawyers and parsons, and the date and cause of his death (congestion of the lungs, Sunninghill, 26 December 1883). It is cited for biographical framing, not for any medical judgement.
