tober g. 1854: educated at the University Of
the South at Sewanee, Tenn, where he studied
from 1869 to 1875, graduating with the degree
OF bachelor of arts. He graduated in medicine
at the Bellevue Hospital Medical college in 1879.
He served the house staff of the Bellevue
hospital from 1879 to 1880: entered the United
States army in 1880, and served in Florida and
on the western frontier until the SpanishAmer-
lean war broke out in 1898. He went to Cuba
with the expedition which captured Santiago
After the fall of Santiago General Gorgas con-
tracted typhoid fever. and was sent back to the
United States. He went with the expeditionary
force which occupied Havana in December. 1898.
where he remained health officer until the fall
of 1902 During his incumbency as health ofhcer
of the city OF Havana the army medical board
made a discovery with regard TO yellow fever
and found that it was conveyed by the Stegomyia
mosquito AS health officer with his sub
ordinates he devised plans and measures whereby
this discovery put into practical service.
AS a result of these measures Havana was
freed from yellow fever entirely in about eight
months although the disease had been there
continuously for the previous 100 years. For
this work he promoted by special act of
congress from the grade of major to that of
colonel
For ten years Doctor Gorgas was stationed in
the Panama Canal zone. the chief health of
ficer of the isthmian canal commission. He was
ordered to Panama in March, 1904. and three
years thereafter Theodore Roosevelt made him a
member of the commission. He was chosen for
the Panama work because OF his record. He
made Panama one OF the healthest places In
the world and, more than this. he made the liv-
ing conditions of the laborer on the isthmus as
sanitary as comfortable and as desirable as the
conditions surrounding the laborer anywhere in
the world.
Two years ago when General Gorgas term OF
service on the isthmus drawing TO close
because OF the near approach of the day of COM
pletion OF the waterway. your correspondent Wis
tied the Canal zone. While there he was taken,
with some friends. to visit hospital on an is
land of the coast. This hospital had been built
by the French. When General Gorgas went to
the isthmus he took the building. put 1t into
perfect sanitary condition and made IL a place
OF reception for convalescents. The hospital
never was full. because there wasn't enough
sickness i'm the zone to produce convalescents
enough at any time to tax the hospital facilities.
The fact that this particular building never was
crowded, and that Il was small building at best,
perhaps furnishes one OF the best proofs possible
of the commanding medical work which was
done in a place generally accounted as one of
the most unhealthy on the face OF the globe.
During the visit to Panama a statement was

tarily of his own achievements on the sickness
stricken field, he is writing of one of the most
famous men of any nation He does not belong
to Washington nor yet to the United States, but
to the world.
Here is a doctor and a soldier whose record
stands unique. In order to honor him congress
in way upset its traditions and changed line
Of legislative action which for years ran one
unvarying course Last spring the congress of
the United States paid General Gorgas the high
est compliment that II is within its power to pay.
IL gave him the thanks OF the congress OF the
United States; IL promoted him to the grade OF
major general. and it so changed established
custom as to enable him to remain at the head
of the medical crops of the army for some
months after the four years allotted for such
service shall have expired
In other words, through the action of congress.
General Gorgas, instead of being surgeon general
of the army for the term of only four years, will
hold that Office until he retires from active work
at the age of sxty-four years
The thanks of congress, promotion to the rank
of major general and the provision which would
enable the incumbent TO remain surgeon general
for a longer period than the usually allotted time
came to this doctor, the resolutions of con-
gress show, because of his great work in routing
disease from the Panama Canal zone and in max
ing former plague spot one of the most health

all the great scientists of the world for purposes
OF immediate comparison but II seems to be
safe to say that no other man has been so hon
ored by educational institutions and by learned
societies as has William Crawford Gorgas. He
received his modest A. b. from the University
of the South at Sewanee. Tenn. in the year
1876, and his M. d. from Bellevue Hospital Med
ical college in New York city four years later.
From that time to this honors have been piled
upon him. and he has borne them all with mod
esty that resembles meekness. IL is held by
many that doctor OF science is the highest honor
which any institution of learning ~can confer
upon a man. Seven great universities, including
oxford, Harvard Pennsylvania. Brown and
Princeton have conferred the doctor OF science
degree upon this American army doctor.
To him have come LII. DIS from Johns Hop

made to your correspondent by General Gorgas
which was nothing short of startling in it's
ture. He said IF the governments of Vene-
zuela and Ecuador would spend few thousand
dollars to stamp out yellow fever there never
would be another of the disease known to
the world"
For some reason other the South American
countries in which the yellow fever still exists
will not spend the money necessary to stamp it
out. SO it is that long as the disease exists
there it is possible for some man, perhaps
sailor to be bitten by n fever-laden mosquito
Just before he sails for another port and to carry
with him the poison. II is held by the high think
ers that the countries of South America where
yellow fever exists should be forced to stamp
out the disease in order that the rest of the
world may be safe for all time from the menace
of the dread yellow jack"

danger that they would spread malaria among
the zone people, because the insects had to be-
come charged with the poison first; but of course,
it was necessary to determine how far the crea-
lures could travel. and this is the way they
found out:
An abe-bodied and perfectly willing native
was put into a mosquito net tent where he sat
and acted bait. He paid certain amount
of gold for his batting work and he, with others
who afterward we're employed said 1t was easy
money
When the tent had a million or more mosqu-
toes i'm IL the native came out and the entrance
was closed. Then the scientists sprayed the
tent and its confined mosquitoes with cooring
matter The spray so fine that II did not
drown or even drench the insects. but they re-
ceived some coloring matter on their wings and
bodies.
Other tents were pitched and in each was sta
toned a human bait. These tents were at GER
tain distances apart. All the mosquitoes in the
first tent released and they were traced
by color from tent to. tent until none were found
In that way they found out how far the malaria
