Marshall Mead Chipman (1822 - 1900) began his career in the "drug business" in Idaho. Because of failing health, he moved to California, entered the Medical College of the Pacific, and graduated with a medical degree late in life, in 1874. He would become a member of the San Francisco County Medical Society (serving as its secretary for several years), the California State Medical Society, and the American Medical Association. He was also a prolific author of works on hygiene, quackery, drugs, preventive medicine, medical waiste disposal, etc. His current speech discussed the fact that "morality is intimately connected with and, in fact, a part of hygiene, itself.." going so far, as to use examples from the times of Zoroaster, Moses, Gautama, and Abraham.
