Excerpt from Physics of the Infectious Diseases: Comprehending a Discussion of Certain Physical Phenomena in Connection With the Acute Infectious Diseases Apart from this purpose, however, he has had two other objects in view, of far greater value to the profession than the statement of his own opinions. These are: firstly, to furnish medical information concerning a region, which in a medical sense, is emphatically a term incognim, by reason of the almost entire lack of accessible literature pertaining to its medical aspects; and secondly, to stimulate the gen eral body of the medical profession to a more extended study of the physical laws and operations of nature, with out a knowledge of which, we.

Cornelius Ambrose Logan was born on August 24, 1832 at Deerfield, Massachusetts, United States, the son of Cornelius Ambrosius and Eliza (Akeley) Logan. His father was a distinguished actor and theatrical manager. Olive Logan was his sister. The home of the family after 1840 was Cincinnati, Ohio.
Logan was educated at Auburn Academy.
Logan entered the medical profession. For a time he was medical superintendent of St. John's Hospital, Cincinnati, but in February 1857 he emigrated to Leavenworth, Kansas.
During the Civil War he was commissioned (June 29, 1864) surgeon of the first regiment of Kansas state militia. After the war he was active in the medical profession. As botanist of the state geological corps in charge of sanitary relations he made a study published under the title: Report on Sanitary Relations of the State of Kansas (1866). When the Kansas State Medical Society (chartered 1859) was reorganized in 1866 he was elected its first president and, for several years thereafter, served on one or more of its committees. His presidential address, delivered April 3, 1867, sounded the keynote of his medical activity in the state: first, the strengthening of the medical society; second, the raising of the standards of the profession and the eliminating of quacks; third, the establishing of regular medical instruction at the state university.
In June 1867, in association with Tiffin Sinks, Doctor of Medicine, he established the Leavenworth Medical Herald, a monthly magazine, and conducted the editorial section until April 1871. He published a book, Physics of the Infectious Diseases (1878), and wrote several articles for professional periodicals. No great scientific attainments and no important scientific discoveries can be attributed to him. Kansas was a frontier community and its greatest need was the establishment of stabilized institutions, and in medicine as in politics, the elimination of incompetents and impostors who were particularly numerous as a result of some two decades of disorder. The lure of politics eventually drew Logan into the two contests for United States senatorships in 1873, but he was defeated in the first contest, and in consequence of the exigencies of both local and national politics, he was removed from the second by his appointment as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Chile. The Senate confirmed the appointment March 17, 1873, and he held the position until 1877.
In 1879 he was appointed from Illinois, to which state he had removed from Kansas, to the post of minister resident to the Central American states and was confirmed by the Senate April 1. This position was held until 1882 when he was transferred to his former post in Chile, the new appointment being confirmed March 15.
The outstanding problem of this second Chile mission was the Tacna-Arica controversy. Aside from his political and professional activities he was a devoted Odd Fellow. He held high offices in the Grand Lodge of Kansas and during his residence in Chile established the order there. Subsequent to his return to the United States in 1885 Logan became the literary executor of his cousin, General John A. Logan of Illinois. In this capacity he published the later's book: The Volunteer Soldier of America (1887), together with a biographical memoir. Later he removed to California where after a long illness he died in Los Angeles.
Logan was best known for his service for two terms as United States Ambassador to Chile (1873-1877 and 1882-1885) during difficult times. While on the mission he arbitrated differences between Chile and Peru, arising out of the alliance of 1865, and handled early stages of the Tacna dispute. He was also co-founder of the first medical journal in Kansas.

He was a member of Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
In 1854 Logan was married to Zoe Shaw. He had one daughter, Celia Logan Waterous.
