William Parry Murphy (February 6, 1892 (Stoughton, Wisconsin, U.S.A) - October 9, 1987) was a medical doctor who shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1934 with George Richards Minot and George Hoyt Whipple for their combined work in devising and treating Macrocytic anaemia.
Murphy married Pearl Harriett Adams on September 10, 1919.
In 1924, Murphy bled dogs to make them anemic, and then fed them various substances, and gauged their improvement.
Murphy built tramways in Dublin, Cork, Belfast, London Southern, Isle of Thanet, Hastings and District, Bournemouth and Poole, Paisley and District and in Buenos Aires, in addition to being one of the pioneers of the use of electricity in Ireland.
Murphy had the whole paper overhauled and reorganised and he relaunched it in a new and highly successful format, originally pioneered by the Harmsworths in London.
Murphy believed that Ireland needed its trading links with Britain but it also needed full fiscal autonomy (like Canada, South Africa and Australia); he was scathing of Redmond's policy to concede this vital issue to the Liberal government in return for their support for the Home Rule Bill of 1914.
