Excerpt from Walter Reed and Yellow Fever
A second edition within six months! I am indeed glad that Walter Reed and his great work have found such a welcome at the hands of his countrymen. It also gives me great pleasure to know that since this little book has told the simple story of his life, the Memorial Fund has grown almost to completion. The second edition will be found to differ from the first in the corree tion of certain errata which have been pointed out to me, and, more particularly, in the addition of some letters relating especially to the value of Dr. Carroll's work at Camp Lazear and at Las Animas Hospital. Dr. Carroll, Dr. Reed's faith ful associate in all his labors, is still with us; in what way will the American Republic show her appreciation of his devoted service?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author ingeniously weaves biography and medical discovery to narrate the life and achievements of Dr. Walter Reed. As a talented surgeon serving on the American frontier in the late 19th century, Reed's contributions to science were profound. Despite the limitations of his time, he demonstrated remarkable tenacity in the pursuit of knowledge and a keen eye for observation, qualities that would lead him to unravel the mysteries surrounding yellow fever. The author skillfully sets the stage by describing the primitive conditions and hardships of frontier life, highlighting the challenges Reed faced as he relentlessly pursued his research. Through a series of carefully planned experiments, Reed was able to determine that yellow fever was transmitted by a specific type of mosquito, a groundbreaking discovery that revolutionized the understanding and prevention of this deadly disease. Meticulously researched and engagingly written, this book not only chronicles Reed's scientific achievements but also sheds light on the man behind the microscope. It's a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact one individual can have on the course of medical history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
