Baldwin Lucke (1889-1954), Toynbee Wight and Edwin Kime 'Pathologic Anatomy and Bacteriology of Influenza. Epidemic of Autumn, 1918.' Offprint from: Archives of Internal Medicine, Vol. XXIV, pp.154-237. Chicago: 1919. Extremely rare offprint of the first US medical report into the second wave of the 1918 flu epidemic. The first wave of influenza in 1918 was mild and insignificant, but the virulent second wave to affect North America started in August 1918 in US military camps, and by October 20% of the US army was ill. The current offprint concentrates on the cases at Camp Zachary Taylor and Camp Knox, Kentucky. Although focussing on the pathology and bacteriology of 'flu, the offprint does give interesting statistics on populations affected, notably that although whites were much more likely to become infected with influenza than African-Americans, the latter had a higher mortality rate. The offprint is presented from one of the authors, Baldwin Lucke, to his wife Marion Hague Rea, both of the University of Pennsylvania. Octavo (255 x 175mm). 40 photographic text-illustrations, 12 tables, and a graph (stained at lower fore-edge through affecting bottom right-hand corner of text). Original buff wrappers, stapled (front cover cover splitting at lower portion of spine, some faint soiling and staining).
