Description
Police Gazette (39:223), cover illustration of a complete issue. "How the legal spouse of a fashionable physician expressed her disapprobation of the course of treatment her husband subjected his pretty patients to; N. Y. City." He's in fancy dark suit (no medical items present) caressing the chin of a fancy young lady with feathered hat and long train, while his wife is behind him ready to crown him with a skull (cranium and face without lower jaw). This image reconfirms that physicians were not yet distinguished visually by any accoutrements. Related story is on page 7. The Police Gazette was a "sporting paper" for young male readers, with scandal and sensation, but sometimes it commented on medical and scientific items repeated from general newspapers. Also includes half page story on Guiteau on page 6. Hansen database #2814
