Dr. Henry R. Harrower was born on 30 April 1883 in the Islington section of London, England. His father was Robert Percy Harrower (from Broughty Ferry, Scotland), and his mother was Johanna Susan Flynn (born in India, the daughter of an Irish army officer). He was orphaned at a young age, so was raised by his grandmother Jemima Margaret (Wright) Harrower.
Dr. Henry R. Harrower was a pioneer in the study of endocrinology (the glands that produce and secrete hormones that regulate body processes such as growth and reproduction). He established the first Harrower laboratory in 1918 on the second floor of the Bank of Glendale building at 704 E. Broadway, in Glendale, California. He then established the first endocrine clinic in the United States in May 1924 on South Belmont Street in Glendale. (The labs were sold to Lambert Pharmaceutical Co., makers of Listerine, in the early 1940's.)
