Fishbein (1889-1976) was an American medical doctor and editor of
the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) from 1924 to
1950. On June 21, 1937, Fishbein had been featured on the cover of
Time magazine, and he protested in an inside article about FDR's plan
to federalize the medical profession. Fishbein, as editor of American Medical
Association publications, said that medicine "is practiced as an art and as
a science, without any reference to hours of work or any fixed formula for its
administration..." In 1970, he endowed the Morris Fishbein Center for the
study of history of science and medicine at the University of Chicago. Lightly
toned and soiled, otherwise in fine condition.
