William C. Gorgas' signature as Surgeon General of the U.S. Army. Slip is signed, ''W. C. Gorgas / Surgeon General / U.S. Army'' in black ink. Gorgas' controversial theory that mosquitoes transmitted yellow fever and malaria proved correct, and sanitation measures taken at his instruction saved the lives of countless people at the turn of the century. Signed slip measures 5.5'' x 3.5''. Near fine.
