Description
Summary:	Because the book was held in such high esteem, it was reprinted in 1929 for distribution at the first physiological congress to be convened in the Americas and distributed to the members along with a medallion of its author. The attorney for the defense contended that the operation performed by Dr. Beaumont, which was approved by both of the other treating physicians, and not the blows to the head, caused the patient's death. Have we not the degrading instance in this city of medical men, claiming to be respectable in the profession, conspiring to afford collusive testimony to the public tribunal, discreditable and damning even to themselves, with evident malicious design and dishonest intent to debase the medical character of this community, injure individual reputations, pervert justice, rob the gallows and subvert the best moral principles of society?
