Abstract

The epoch of our history between 1878 and 1895 has been characterized as a fertile truce, when José Martí devoted himself in organizing Cubans to begin the second stage of our independence wars, period characterized by great economic, social and politic changes. Several outstanding facts in the history of Cuban medicine also took place in this period. First of all, the foundation of the Academy of Medical, Physical and Natural Sciences, promoted, among others, by Dr. Nicolas Jose Gutierrez, and two years later, in 1863, the foundation of its journal Anales de la Academia , which first director was Dr. Armando Mestre.
