Saved the Empress’ Life.

Many American physicians are among the ablest, but their profession rests on a false hypothesis. It has nothing to do with science, and cannot have until it has vastly advanced.

After the Empress Eugenie had given birth to the Prince Imperial an important operation was necessary, and all the celebrated doctors resident there were called in, among them Dr. Johnson, now dead.
