The United States of America, Appellants, vs. The American Medical Association, A Corporation; The Medical Society of the District of Columbia, A Corporation; The Harris County Medical Society, An Association, et al., Appellees

The American Medical Association was organized in 1847. Its original aim was the improvement of medical education in the United States. This still remains one of its important activities but the Association has expanded tremendously since its formation. It now consists of 2,011 component county and district societies and 53 constituent associations in the States, Territories and Possessions. County and district societies elect delegates to the state associations and the whole membership of these county societies takes part in their election. These delegates form a State House of Delegates which in turn elects delegates to the American Medical Association. The A.M.A. House of Delegates is the legislative body of the Association and is responsible for all official policies. All reports, resolutions and recommendations are referred by the House to several Reference Committees who hear testimony on both sides of every question and then render reports to the House. Here all reports are debated again and brought to a vote. Any member of the Association, whether or not a member of the House, can appear before a Reference Committee and state his opinions and recommendations on the matter under discussion. Between sessions of the House of Delegates, the Board of Trustees is the governing body.

Late Nineteenth

As recently as the mid- to late-nineteenth century, it could honestly be said that there was no medical profession in the United States. Yes, there were doctors. And of course there were patients with illness and injuries. But if it is contentious today as to how best to treat various conditions, a century and a half ago it was nothing short of a circus. Although the American Medical Association had been founded in 1847, allopathic medicine could hardly be said to be the dominant school of thought. Others abounded, some of which still exist today, but none of them were capable of doing very much in the way of treating illness.
