Excerpt from Walter Reed and Yellow Fever A second edition within six months! I am indeed glad that Walter Reed and his great work have found such a welcome at the hands of his countrymen. It also gives me great pleasure to know that since this little book has told the simple story of his life, the Memorial Fund has grown almost to completion. The second edition will be found to differ from the first in the corree tion of certain errata which have been pointed out to me, and, more particularly, in the addition of some letters relating especially to the value of Dr. Carroll's work at Camp Lazear and at Las Animas Hospital. Dr. Carroll, Dr. Reed's faith ful associate in all his labors, is still with us; in what way will the American Republic show her appreciation of his devoted service?
