The present study analyzes the interruption suffered by Gaceta in 1916, its resumption in 1919, and the causes that originated that discontinuity. The consequences of the so-called Mexican revolution and the enthusiasm and commitment of the academy and its editors to continue working for the progress of national medicine are discussed.

El presente estudio analiza la interrupción que sufrió Gaceta en 1916, su reanudación en 1919 y las causas que originaron esa discontinuidad. Se habla de las consecuencias que dejó la denominada Revolución Mexicana y del entusiasmo y compromiso de la Academia y sus editores por seguir trabajando por el progreso de la medicina nacional.
