Helm, John H., Peru, Indian, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1871 July 1
Scope and Contents
McMaster has seen fit to abuse his position as conductor of a public journal by making an unjust attack upon the medical profession, to which profession Helm has given the best years of his life and will continue to do so. Looking back over the quarter century he has given to the humble, but honorable, profession, he feels indignant at being called an infidel either in religion or medicine. McMaster's quotation of Voltaire may have served its purpose, but Helm has disagreed with Voltaire in both faith and profession. He is convinced that it is impossible to be an infidel and a good physician at the same time. He feels it his duty to his profession, himself, and the cause of truth and right to exclude McMaster's paper, which he has read for many long years, from his house forever. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
