Abstract	The: American Medical Association, to the semicentennial celebration of which we devote the present passing hour, was the first truly National organization of the medical profession, deliberately planned to represent the profession of an entire country and to promote all its general interests, together with the sanitary interests of the whole people, of which we have any knowledge.1The circumstances that prompted the primary steps for the organization of this: American Medical Associationwere National in their scope, and pointed unerringly to the necessity for National conference and cooperation. In devising a permanent constitutional government for the union of the several States that had achieved their independence of the mother country, one of the important problems that taxed the wisdom of the statesmen of that period, was to determine what interests and institutions should be controlled by the general government and what should be left to the individual States.
