William Crawford Gorgas and the American Medical Association.

THE YEAR 1979 was the 125th anniversary of the birth of William Crawford Gorgas, MD (1854-1920). Best known for the eradication of yellow fever and the control of malaria in Havana and the Panama Canal Zone, Dr Gorgas also served as president of the American Medical Association in 1908 and surgeon general of the army during World War I. The AMA and the accomplishments of William Crawford Gorgas were intertwined on several occasions and deserve recounting. A major reason for the failure of the French to build an interoceanic canal in Panama in the 1880s and the major obstacle facing the American effort in 1904 were the presence of malaria and yellow fever, the two scourges of the American tropics. Although not universally recognized by the scientific community at the time of the US initiative in Panama, the source of both yellow fever and malaria had already been discovered. Ronald
