Summary

William Ramsay Smith was brought to Adelaide by the South Australian Government to fill a pathology position at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. He was exonerated of charges laid against him in Great Britain and also in Adelaide. He clashed with Matron Bell at the Australian General Hospital in Egypt and was recalled to Adelaide. His book called "Myths of Australian Aborigines" was plagiarised from David Unaipon. He sold Aboriginal artifacts for a profit and upon his death he was found to have over 182 skulls at his home.
