The New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal

The New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal was a bimonthly medical journal published between 1844 and 1952, and the predecessor of the contemporary Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society.[1] It published Samuel Cartwright's pseudoscientific theories of race and disease, including the first treatment of the conjectural disease drapetomania.[2] The journal was involved in debates on neuroscience and circulation in the 19th century.[3]
