José Manuel Balmaceda was president of Chile between 1886 and 1891. Confronted with an institutional conflict, he was deposed by the Republic's parliament in January, 1891. Some distinguished physicians were members of that parliament; Dr Alfonso Valderrama, senator, chronicler of Revista Médica de Chile's first issues and General Secretary of the University of Chile; Dr José Joaquín Aguirre, deputy. Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (1817-1889) and Rector of the University of Chile; Dr Federico Puga Borne, deputy and Minister of Public Instruction and Justice; Dr Augusto Orrego Luco, deputy and writer; Dr José Arce, deputy. President Balmaceda decreed the intervention of the Medical School in February 1891, named Dr Arce as intervenor and designed professors attached to his government. He also dismissed several physicians. Overwhelmed by the political conflict, Balmaceda took refuge in the Argentinian embasy and committed suicide in September, 1891.
