Excerpt from Epidemics Resulting From Wars The Division of Economics and History of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is organized to 'promote a thorough and scientific investigation of the causes and results of war'. In accordance with this purpose a conference of eminent statesmen, publicists, and economists was held in Berne, Switzerland, in August 1911, at which a plan of investigation was formed and an extensive list of topics was prepared. The programme of that Conference is presented in detail in an Appendix. It will be seen that an elaborate series of investigations has been undertaken, and the resulting reports may in due time be expected in printed form. Of works so prepared some will aim to reveal direct and indirect consequences of warfare, and thus to furnish a basis for a judgement as to the reasonableness of the resort to it. If the evils are in reality larger and the benefits smaller than in the common view they appear to be, such studies should furnish convincing evidence of this fact and afford a basis for an enlightened policy whenever there is danger of international conflicts. Studies of the causes of warfare will reveal, in particular, those economic influences which in time of peace bring about clashing interests and mutual suspicion and hostility. They will, it is believed, show what policies, as adopted by different nations, will reduce the conflicts of interest, inure to the common benefit, and afford a basis for international confidence and good will. They will further reveal the natural economic influences which of themselves bring about more and more harmonious relations and tend to substitute general benefits for the mutual injuries that follow unintelligent self-seeking.

Excerpt from War and the Family The list of battle-deaths is, however, only a part of the story, not more than half of it, for a certainty. Any major war is likely to cause as many deaths among civilians as among soldiers. Every great war produces its epidemics. Typhus fever, bubonic plague, cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery, small-pox, and scurvy are known as war epidemics. Venereal disease, though not epidemic, has had a long military record, and tuberculosis always gains as a result of war-time living conditions.

Excerpt from Medical Diseases of the War I have had constant opportunities of studying every phase of the various diseases occurring on active service, first as physician and neurologist to a number of military hospitals in London and to the New Zealand Hospital at walton-ou-thames, then as a member of the Medical Advisory Committee for the Prevention of Epidemic Disease in the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force in Lemnos, and subsequently in Salonica, where I also acted as Consulting Physician to the British Forces. This book is a record of my own observations, amplified by a study of the literature so far as time and opportunity have allowed. I have read most of the papers bearing on the subjects dealt with, which have been published in the English medical journals, together with a number of the more important French contributions and a small number of those which have appeared in the German language. The principal references are given at the end of each chapter. I should like to add, for the benefit of those who are more familiar with my former name of Hertz than with my new name of Hurst, that I have made the change because under present conditions it is natural for one of English birth and English descent for several generations to be unwilling to retain a German name.

Excerpt from Epidemics: How to Meet Them I went to Camp Devens as soon as the epidemic was reported, and I might say that I thought my eyes would never see such horror as I saw there; I went through the spanish-american War; I saw thousands and thousands of cases of typhoid fever, but I never had anything so depress me as the conditions that existed at Camp Devens.
