He was one of the medical doctors associated with Basedow's syndrome, which is also known as Marsh's disease and currently as Graves' disease.〔(Sir Henry Marsh ), WhoNamedIt.com.〕 ==Biography== The son of the Rev. Robert Marsh of Killinane, Co. Galway, great-grandson of the Most Rev. Francis Marsh, Archbishop of Dublin.
