The Medical and Physical Society of Calcutta was a society of British officials, mostly physicians, formed on March 1, 1823. The society published a quarterly journal[1] and met at the Asiatic Society.[2] The journal published articles on diseases prevailing in India and their links with environment and sanitation. Prominent members included Sir James Ranald Martin who was instrumental in publishing medico-topographical reports of British India and establishing links between environment and health, and deforestation[3] and William Brooke O'Shaughnessy, who published one of the first medical uses of marijuana in the journal of the society.[4] There are few records of the journal after 1857.
