8. WAS WALLACE WICKED?
Iodide of potassium was first proved to have value in
tertiary syphilis by William Wallace, of the Irish
College of Surgeons, where so many proofs of his
talent and industry are preserved. While we feel
proud of his surgical services, we must condemn his
unscrupulous cruelty towards his own race, in
inoculating with the terrible virus of syphilis
previously healthy persons.
