Biography

Palmer was a native of London. He entered

Theodore Mayernem Dr. John Hammond, Dr. Henry Atkins and Dr. William Butler, and in the presence of Sir Thomas Challoner and Sir David Murray
in October 1612, and the result was that, on the opinion of the majority, a prescription known as diascordium was given to the prince, with no good effect, for he died next day. Palmer was present at the post-mortem examination, and in the original report his signature stands fourth of the six physicians. In the report, as printed by Mayerne, his name is last. He died early in 1625.
