By HANS ZINSSER LONDON: GEORGE ROUTLEDGE & BROADWAY HOUSE, 68-74 CARTER and F*rint*d *n C^reat Britain by RERClY LUNO, H L; NtfHKI Kii sf CO. LTD. 12 This book is dedicated in affectionate friendship to Charles Nicolle, scientist^ novelist, and 'philosopher PREFACE THESE chapters we hesitate to call so rambling a per- formance a book were written at odd moments as a relaxation from studies of typhus fever in the laboratory and in the field. In following infectious diseases about the world, one ends by regarding them as biological individ- uals which have lived through centuries, spanning many generations of men and having existences which, in their developments and wanderings, can be treated biograph- ically. Typhus fever lends itself more than most others to such treatment because of its extraordinary parasitic cycles in the insect and animal worlds, the salient facts of which have all been elucidated within the last ten years. In no other infection does the bacteriologist find so favour- able an opportunity for study of the evolution of a para- sitism. Moreover, in its tragic relationship to mankind this disease is second to none not even to plague or to chol- era. In the course of many years of preoccupation with in- fectious diseases, which has- taken us alternately into the seats of biological warfare and into the laboratory, we have become increasingly impressed with the importance almost entirely neglected by historians and sociologists of the influence of these calamities upon the fate of nations, indeed upon the rise and fall of civilizations. viii PREFACE The chapters which deal with this phase of our subject represent little more than preliminary notes. They may serve to stimulate future historians, who possess the learn- ing which we lack, to give these factors the attention which they merit and to interpolate their effects into the interpretations of the past history of mankind. In no sense can we claim to have made any original contributions to the history of medicine. We have taken information where we could find it, and have freely used the works of such profound scholars as Schnurrer, Hecker, Ozanam, Haeser, Hirsch, Murchison, and others. In consulting ancient and mediaeval texts our meagre classical learning was re-enforced by the charitable good nature of our colleagues Professors Gulick and Rand, of our friend Dr. Charles Lund, and by the enthusiastic interest of Mr. C. T. Murphy of the Harvard Classical Department. Conversation and correspondence with Professor Sigerist of Johns Hopkins, Professor Merriman of Harvard, Ma- jor Hume of the United States Army, and many others have brought us invaluable aid in critical places. We owe a particular debt of gratitude to our wise and kindly friend, Professor W. Morton Wheeler, who has been generous with advice and encouragement. Since this is, in no sense, a scientific treatise, we have left out references to recent work and, in order to neglect no one, have mentioned almost no names. For our chapters and comments on matters of literary interest we make no apologies. Although we regard them as pertinent to the general scheme of our exposition, many will regard them as merely impertinent. But, in a way, PREFACE ix this book is a protest against the prevailing attitude which tends to insist that a specialist should have no interests beyond his chosen field unless it be golf, fishing, or contract bridge. A specialist according to this should stick to his job like "a louse to a pig's back." We risk because of this performance being thought less of as a bacteriologist. It is worth the risk. But the day has twenty-four hours j one can work but ten and sleep but eight. We hold that one type of intelligent occupation should, in all but exceptional cases, increase the capacity for comprehension in general} that it is an error to segre- gate the minds of men into rigid guild classifications 5 and that art and sciences have much in common and both may profit by mutual appraisal. The Europeans have long ap- preciated this. That our book has contributed in this re- spect we have not the temerity to assert. At any rate, we have written along as it has suited our fancy, and have been amused and rested in so doing. H. Z.

We are living in an age of biography. We can no longer say with Carlyle that a well-written life is as rare as a well-spent one. Our bookstalls are filled with stories of the great and near-great of all ages, and each month's publishers' lists announce a new crop. The biographical form of writing has largely displaced the novel, it has /poached upon the territory that was once spoken of as criticism, it has gone into successful competition with the detective story and the erotic memoir, and it has even entered the realm of the psychopathic clinic. One wonders what has released this deluge. There are many possible answers. It is not unlikely that, together with other phases of modern life, literature has gone "scientific." As in science, a few men of origin- ality work out the formulas for discovery in a chosen sub- ject, and a mass of followers apply this formula to anal- ogous problems and achieve profitable results. In an age of meagre literary originality, it is a natural impulse for workers to. endeavour to explain the genius of great mas- ters. And for every novelist, poet, or inventor of any kind, 4 RATS, LICE AND HISTORY we have a dozen interpreters, commentators, and critics. Once biography was a serious business and the task of the scholar. When Plutarch wrote his Parallel Lives, his mind as Mr. Clough rightly remarks was running on the Aristotelian ethics and the Platonic theories which formed the religion of the educated men of his time. He dealt less with action, more with motives and the reaction of ability and character upon the circumstances of the great civilizations of Greece and of Rome. Scholarly biographies of later ages followed similar methods, even in such intensely personal records as Boswell's Johnson, or the Conversations by which so dull an ass as Eckermann managed to write himself into permanent fame. The minor details of intimate life were, in the past, regarded as having consequence only as they had bearing on the states of mind that led to high achievement. It was rec- ognized that "les fetitesses de la vie privee peuvent Saltier avec I'heroisme de la vie publique." But they were utilized only when they were significant or amusing.

  • René Dubos, Tuberculosis, and the “Ecological Facets of Virulence”
    HPLS (2017) 39:15 DOI 10.1007/s40656-017-0142-5 ORIGINAL PAPER René Dubos, tuberculosis, and the “ecological facets of virulence” Mark Honigsbaum1 Received: 15 January 2017 / Accepted: 23 June 2017 / Published online: 4 July 2017 © The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Reflecting on his scientific career toward the end of his life, the French- educated medical researcher Rene´ Dubos presented his flowering as an ecological thinker as a story of linear progression—the inevitable product of the intellectual seeds planted in his youth. But how much store should we set by Dubos’s account of his ecological journey? Resisting retrospective biographical readings, this paper seeks to relate the development of Dubos’s ecological ideas to his experimental practices and his career as a laboratory researcher. In particular, I focus on Dubos’s studies of tuberculosis at the Rockefeller Institute in the period 1944–1956—studies which began with an inquiry into the tubercle bacillus and the physiochemical determinants of virulence, but which soon encompassed a wider investigation of the influence of environmental forces and host–parasite interactions on susceptibility and resistance to infection in animal models. At the same time, through a close reading of Dubos’s scientific papers and correspondence, I show how he both drew on and distinguished his ecological ideas from those of other medical researchers such as Theobald Smith, Frank Macfarlane Burnet, and Frank Fenner. However, whereas Burnet and Fenner tended to view ecological interactions at the level of populations, Dubos focused on the interface of hosts and parasites in the physio- logical environments of individuals.

  • Infectious Disease in Philadelphia, 1690- 1807
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: INFECTIOUS DISEASE IN PHILADELPHIA, 1690- 1807: AN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE Gilda Marie Anroman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2006 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mary Corbin Sies Department of American Studies This dissertation examines the multiple factors that influenced the pattern and distribution of infectious disease in Philadelphia between the years 1690 and 1807, and explores the possible reasons for the astonishingly high level of death from disease throughout the city at this time . What emerges from this study is a complex picture of a city undergoing rapid cultural and epidemiological changes . Large -scale immigration supplied a susceptible population group, as international trade, densely packed street s, unsanitary living conditions, and a stagnant and contaminated water supply combined to create ideal circumstances for the proliferation of both pathogen s and vectors, set ting the stage for the many public health crises that plagued Philadelphia for more than one hundred years. This study uses an ecological perspective to understand how disease worked in Philadelphia . The idea that disease is virtually always a result of the interplay of the environment, the genetic and physical make -up of the individual , and the agent of disease is one of the most importan t cause and effect ideas underpinned by epidemiology. This dissertation integrates me thods from the health sciences, humanities, and social sciences to demonstrate how disease “emergence” in Philadelphia was a dynamic feature of the interrelationships between people and their socio -cultural and physical environments. Classic epidemiological theory , informed by ecological thinking, is used to rev isit the city’s reconstructed demographic data, bills of mortality, selected diaries (notably that of Elizabeth Drinker ), personal letters, contemporary observations and medical literature .

  • CHAPTER V Some of the Charter Members
    YALE JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE 46, 32-51 (1972) CHAPTER V Some of the Charter Members The American Epidemiological Society was, at the start, a small, but fervent organization. The founding fathers who controlled it played an earnest and mean- ingful role in the early life of this organization which could not help but contribute to its success. In order to give some idea of the personalities involved, brief biographical sketches of a few of the charter members are given. Those 26 persons to whom Emerson and Godfrey had sent out letters of invita- tion in October 1927 and from whom they had received favorable replies, I believe, represent the true charter members of our Society. Another and longer list which bears the name of "Charter Members of the AES" has been unearthed among Haven Emerson's notes, made in the early years of his secretaryship. This list of 40, includes the names of 14 who were elected at the first meeting of the Society, but I have chosen the original 26 as the official charter members. In the early years there seemed to be no need to enlarge the Society beyond the group of 40 mentioned on Emerson's second list. At least it was an ideal group for the type of spirited discussions which were held at AES meetings for the next 5 years. It may be of interest to see what the backgrounds of some of this early group of 40 had been. Three of the men (Frost, Leake and Maxcy) had spent longer or shorter periods of apprenticeship on what might be called observational and statistical epidemiological field studies which dealt with subjects such as polio- myelitis, influenza, and murine typhus.

    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XXIV TKNTH MKMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF HANS ZINSSER 1878-1940 BY SIMEON BURT WOLBACH PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MKETIXfi. 1947 HANS ZINSSER 1878-1940 BY SIMEON HURT WOLBACII Hans Zinsser was a compound of many talents, productive in science, education, literature, and poetry, and apparent in music, art, and sports. He had, moreover, an unusual capacity for making close and lasting friendships, a capacity arising no doubt from his own warm quality of friendliness and his generosity, tolerance, compassion, sense of fair play and courage. In any walk of life his alert, agile and able mind and splendid physique would have distinguished him. He was exceptionally fortunate in early educational advantages and home life, all quite different from those of,most American-born scientists. Outline of Dr. Ziiisscr's Life Dr. Zinsser was born in New York City on November 17, 1878, into a German family of affluence and culture. On both sides his forebears were freedom-loving', independently thinking people. His father, August Zinsser, a manufacturing- chemist, came from the Rhineland ; his mother, Marie Theresa (Schmidt) from the Black Forest region which "had long been under the influence of French thought and political doctrine." Dr. Zinsser was eight years younger than the next of three older brothers and because of this gap the attention and care he received was much like that given to an only child. The early environment provided him by highly educated and cultured parents who were devoted to each other was ideal.
