Résumé : This paper will question the self-regulatory mechanisms of medical journals as an intellectual and semi-public space, most specifically their tolerance for religious and political ideology. Indeed, in the context of the growing professionalization of 19th-century medicine, the cultivating of its image as a trustworthy and scientific community became crucial for the newly organized medical profession. This paper will examine how physicians regulated that image and negotiated between themselves the limits of their expertise by moderating ideas that might veer too far off the medical, into the ideological.
