No references found			Of the unknowns, I think my favorite was George Cheyne, a medical reformer who tried to apply principles of Newtonian attraction to medicine, in a weird construction known as "iatro-mathematics" Cheyne struggled heroically, but mostly unsuccessfully, with problems of diet and alcohol intake, eventually becoming so fat that "a servant had to follow him with a stool so that he could recuperate every few yards" "Iatro-mathematics" illustrates an important aspect of Newton's influence.
