As emerging medical schools begin advertising their benefits, they often include the number of cadavers and live patients they have available for student learning and experimentation. Southern schools began soliciting slaveholders to provide both live bodies and cadavers. For example, newspaper advertisements by the Atlanta Medical College encourage slaveholders to send their sick and injured enslaved people to the infirmary for treatment. The doctor's fee is waived if the illness proves to be incurable, and the patient is sent home.
