From
SURGEON-CAPTAIN L. F. CHILDE.
To
THE PRESIDENT,
Plague Research Committee.
Bombay, 20th October 1897.
SIR,
I have the honour to forward herewith my report on plague. It is
mainly confined to the pathology of the disease and the mode of entry of the
plague-bacillus into the body, with its exit therefrom, as this was the portion of
the enquiry assigned to me at a meeting of the Committee held in October 1896.
A clinical account of plague-pneumonia has been added, as well as some notes
on cases of unusual interest.
I regret that this report is not more complete, as I could have made more
post-mortem examinations had time permitted, and it is possible that there may
be some other varieties of plague which have escaped me; but as I have had
to perform all my ordinary duties during the whole of this enquiry, and those
of the First Physician, Sir Jamsetji Jijibhoy Hospital, in addition, during a part
of it, I have been unable to devote as much time to this research as I could
have wished.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
L. F. CHILDE, Surg.-Capt., I. M. S.,
Member, Plague Research Committee.
