  • Anatomy, Grave-Robbing, and Spiritualism in Antebellum St. Louis
    Anatomy, Grave-Robbing, and Spiritualism in Antebellum St. Louis BY LUKE RITTER 34 | The Confluence | Spring/Summer 2012 When Mrs. Malter went missing on the eleventh of September in 1849, her family suspected Dr. Joseph Nash McDowell, head of the Missouri Medical College. She was last seen at seven o’clock in the evening, walking her dog along Chouteau Avenue in south St. Louis. The mysterious disappearance of Mrs. Malter, a German immigrant married to a respected German American businessman, headlined the local newspapers. In the excitement surrounding her disappearance, one witness told reporters he thought he saw Mrs. Malter’s handkerchief, “or some other article” of hers, near McDowell’s medical college. The Missouri Medical College was then located at Eighth and Gratiot streets, just one block away from Mrs. Malter’s last known location. According to one local newspaper, the rumors about the handkerchief and McDowell’s implication in her disappearance “excited in the minds of many Germans a suspicion that she [had] been burked, seized, and taken for dissection.” St. Louisans suspected Dr. McDowell and his students of robbing the city’s graveyards for cadavers, and for good reason, but this accusation was murder. By Friday morning, September With the professionalization of medicine and medical training 14, hundreds of Germans in the city’s south side were in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries came new convinced someone had seen a whole “bundle (of forms of research and teaching, including human dissection. clothing)” in front of the college. Mr. Malter demanded One occupation that emerged in response to a growing demand for cadavers was that of graverobbing.

  • Dr. William Beaumont
    Doctor William Beaumont By C. J. Armstrong, M.D. Professor of Plastic surgery University of Louisville School of Medicine 1929 Some of the brightest lights of American medicine and surgery have been backwoodsmen. Ephraim McDowell, who did his wonderful operation of ovariotomy, was a backwoods practitioner. Marion Sims, who did so much to establish the science of surgery on this continent, and came to be the leading surgeon of his day, was doing his epoch making work “far form the maddening crowd.” So too, William Beaumont, another backwoodsman, was the pioneer physiologist of this country and the first to make a contribution of enduring value. William Hunter, the brilliant physician of the eighteenth century, brother of the immortal John Hunter, when lecturing to some students one day make this oft quoted remark, “Some physiologists will have it that the stomach is a mill, others, that its it a fermenting vat, others again, that it is a stew pan; but in my view of the matter, it is neither a mill, a fermenting vat nor a stew pan; but a stomach, gentlemen, a stomach.” It is the purpose of this sketch to discuss in brief fashion, the life an labors of the pioneer American physiologist, William Beaumont, whose work proved conclusively that the stomach is “neither a mill, a fermenting vat nor a stew-pan; but a stomach, gentlemen, a stomach.” William Beaumont, the third child of Samuel, was born November 21, 1785 in Lebanon, Connecticut, a few years after the close of the Revolutionary War. His father was a frugal, thrifty New England farmer who ploughed his land with wooden plow drawn by oxen, sowed his grain by hand, cut it with a scythe and threshed out the grain with a flail.

  • 20Th Annual Medical Staff Symposium
    20th Annual Medical Staff Symposium Building Our Community of Excellence Together Welcome TWENTY YEARS AGO, endeavoring to further strengthen the esprit de corps at Beaumont, Troy, medical staff president Kirit Vora decided to bring together not only physicians and administrators, but also their families for an off-site weekend of learning and relationship building. The conference was strong and the golf was competitive, but nothing compared to the laughter of the children. While some faces have changed and we have been joined by colleagues from 7 additional hospitals, the format remains the same. As we relentlessly strive to provide the best possible health care for our communities, a few days to recharge our batteries in a beautiful environment is just what the doctor ordered. Dr. Vora’s prescience is now self evident and all are welcome to take advantage of his wonderful gift.

  • Q&A with Jason Karlawish, Author of Open Wound: the Tragic Obsession of Dr. William Beaumont
    Open Wound: The Tragic Obsession of Dr. William Beaumont Jason Karlawish http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=3849699 The University of Michigan Press, 2011 Q&A with Jason Karlawish, author of Open Wound: The Tragic Obsession of Dr. William Beaumont A shotgun misfires inside the American Fur Company store in Northern Michigan, and Alexis St. Martin's death appears imminent. It's 1822, and, as the leaders of Mackinac Island examine St. Martin's shot-riddled torso, they decide not to incur a single expense on behalf of the indentured fur trapper. They even go so far as to dismiss the attention of U.S. Army Assistant Surgeon William Beaumont, the frontier fort's only doctor. But in the name of charity and goodness, Beaumont ignores the orders and saves the young man's life. What neither the doctor nor his patient understands—yet—is that even as Beaumont's care of St. Martin continues for decades, the motives and merits of his attention are far from clear. In fact, for what he does to his patient, Beaumont will eventually stand trial and be judged. Rooted deeply in historic fact, Open Wound artfully fictionalizes the complex, lifelong relationship between Beaumont—a prominent figure in Michigan's medical past and present—and his illiterate French Canadian patient. The young trapper's injury never completely heals, leaving a hole into his stomach that the curious doctor uses as a window to understand the mysteries of digestion. Eager to rise up from his humble origins and self-conscious that his medical training occurred as an apprentice to a rural physician rather than at an elite university, Beaumont seizes the opportunity to experiment upon his patient's stomach in order to write a book that he hopes will establish his legitimacy and secure his prosperity.

  • THE BOOK of WILLIAM BEAUMONT Was Not Featured in Extensive Advertising, It Was a Modest Subscription. Certainly This Was Not
    THE BOOK OF WILLIAM BEAUMONT AFTER ONE HUNDRED YEARS* WALTER B. CANNON GEORGE HIGGIN SON Professor of Physiology, Harvard Medical School We have met together this evening to commemorate, not the birth or death of a great man, but the hundredth anni- versary of the publication of a book. That book, which appeared in the fall of 1833, had no preparatory acclaim, it was not featured in extensive advertising, it was a modest octavo volume, printed in a newspaper office in the small town of Plattsburgh, bound in pasteboard, and sold by subscription. Certainly this was not a promising start. And yet, five years later the book was reprinted in an English edition, nine years later still (in 1847) a second American edition was brought out, and meanwhile, in 1834, a German translation had been published in Leipzig. In 1929, when the thirteenth International Congress of Physi- ology was held in Boston, the Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology, which on that occasion acted as hosts to visiting physiologists, biochemists and pharmacologists from all parts of the world, memorialized Dr. Beaumont in a medal and presented to the members of the Congress a facsimile reproduction of Beaumont's famous volume.** In the period between 1833 and 1933 thousands of other books have been written and published, have had their brief day and ceased to be. What was there in Beaumont's writing that endowed it with vitality and permanent value? It possessed those qualities because it embodied the simple, straightforward report of a scrupulously honest man who used his senses cautiously in a significant scientific enquiry, who recorded exactly how he used them and what they re- *Delivered at the Stated Meeting of the Academy, October 5, 1933, in honor of William Beau'mont.
