Conquest of Epidemic Disease Reviews

From the 1943 reviews:

"This book is more than a compendium of data and references from the Old Testament theory of pestilence as a punishment for sin, through the days of demons, miasms, and germs, down to the streamlined concepts of the virus diseases and the new views concerning aerial dissemination of infection. It is an interesting and highly instructive story, rich with the author's interpretations of knowledge regarding the modes and channels of disease spread." -American Journal of Public Health

"[This book] will give medical historians matter for discussion . . . the book is for them, really, and for the medical student, who will find in these pages, perhaps for the first time, why the best minds in medicine so delight in the history of its stumbling progress . . . A book nobly concieved, nobly planned, and beautifully written." -Commonweal
