Abraham Jacobi, German-American Pediatrician

Abraham Jacobi (1830-1919) was a pioneer of pediatrics, opening the first children's clinic in the United States. To date, he is the only foreign born president of the American Medical Association. Civic work was an important part of his life. He advocated birth control and civil service reform and opposed prohibition. In the summer of 1918, a house fire destroyed the manuscript of his autobiography and other personal papers at his Lake George home. He died the next year at the age of 89.
