South African Medical Congress : Transactions of the South African Medical Congress (Twelfth Meeting). Cape Town, 31st October to 5th November, 1910

(Cape Town: Transactions Committee of Congress, 1911)

Royal 8vo; original maroon cloth, lettered in gilt on spine and upper board; margins of boards ruled in blind; pp. x + 324; frontis. with tissue guard; a few plates. Spine sunned; lower joint and corners very slightly worn; occasional light foxing. Very good condition. (SABIB 4, p. 318) The contents are divided into seven sections, that on Public Health perhaps being the most interesting, and containing such articles as the following: Native Syphilus in the Northern Districts: Its Menace to Public Health; On Some Cases of Cutaneous Anthrax Infection; Epidemic Malaria; Malaria: Some Aspects of the Recent Epidemic in the Orange River Valley, from the Point of View of the General Practitioner. The last-mentioned article concerns a serious outbreak of malaria in a region previously considered risk-free, and has value to those concerned with the potential geographical advance of the disease in our times. "Yet the fact of so sudden, severe and extensive an outbreak occurring in a region apparently previously free, or almost so, from malaria was so remarkable that it seems to me that some account of the epidemic from the point of view of the general practitioner, might not be uninteresting to the members attending Congress, who might similarly be faced with such an epidemic in such a dramatically sudden manner." - The author Edward H. Phillips, in his introductory paragraph.
