Notes:

The chapters comprising this volume appeared originally [1909-1915?] as separate articles in the 'Military surgeon.' Upon their compilation a limited number of copies of reprints were obtained by the Office of the Surgeon General and bound together for the use of the Medical corps of the army. They were not then published as a book.

Appended, "Seaman prize essay: The comparative mortality of disease and battle casualties in the historic wars of the world [through 1905], by Captain Louis C. Duncan, Medical Corps."

The current volume, "New materials copyright, c1985," now publishes the above materials for the first time as a book, with an introduction by T. A. Wheat, M.D., U.S. Army Medical Corps.
