Francis Charteris, 10th Earl of Wemyss
- Francis Charteris, 10th Earl of Wemyss
Francis Richard Charteris, 10th Earl of Wemyss GCVO (4 August 1818–30 June 1914), known between 1853 and 1883 as Lord Elcho, was a British Whig politician.
Lord Elcho was commanding officer of the London Scottish regiment for 17 years from its formation in 1859.
He developed an interest in the alternative medical practice of Homeopathy, even becoming President of the London Homoeopathic Hospital until his death. The strength of his belief is evidenced by his writing in March 1914:
"I wish all success to Homoeopathy, to which I attach my physical well-being in great measure. When I was 90 I was asked to what I attributed my well-being at that late period of life. My answer was, 'To parentage and moderation'. I should have added 'AND HOMOEOPATHY,' with which I have been treated since I was 20." [London Homoeopathic Hospital, "Historical Sketch of the London Homoepathic Hospital..." (London: LHH, 1914)]
