Welch of Johns Hopkins University In forecasting the time of the influence of Dr. Reed's writings it is clear that his articles on yellow fever will far outlive his papers on other subjects His other writings will be known to men onlV in certain lines of medical work, but his papers on yellow fever will be known directly or indirectly to both physicians and zoologists, and to both professional men and business men. They will be quoted for decades to come, both by Government officials and by private practi- tioners, and they will be one of the most important factors in deter- mining the future policy of civilized nations in dealing with yellow lever, a disease which we dreaded only a few years ago, but now one which, thanks to the work of Reed and his colleagues, will soon be little more than a medical curiosity.
