Biography

Jamaican physician who began a "water-cure" in 1842, with which he made a fortune in the next 30 years. In 1857, he met a 12-year old girl and they began a strange relationship that lasted for the next 18 years.

She married in 1864 and her husband died in 1871 after becoming a patient of Gully's. After a remarriage in 1875, her husband died six months later of poison. Though Dr. Gully was suspected of involvement in both deaths, evidence was lacking and he was not charged.
