First Edition: Plattsburgh, 1833. Beaumont, an American Army surgeon, reported the results of his work on the gastric fistula produced by a gunshot wound in Alexis St. Martin, a young Canadian half-breed. The investigations covered a period of eight years, 1825-1833.

His description of the nerves which now bear his name-- the internal and external respiratory nerves--was published in the first of these articles.

After 1793's Yellow Fever epidemic in Philadelphia, printer Mathew Carey widely distributed this pamphlet accusing the black community of robbing the houses of the sick or those, like Carey, who fled the city to avoid the disease. Digital version is just full text.
