Abstract
THE patient compilation of countless facts, and their elaborate arrangement, is a task in the performance of which the Germans are facile princeps. If any fresh instance were required, we need only refer the reader to the official report, which has just been issued, of the history of the influenza epidemic which spread through Germany in the years 1889–90. This document covers upwards of two hundred pages of the large quarto volume containing the “Arbeiten aus dem Kaiserlichen Gesundheitsamte,” and has been drawn up by Dr. Paul L. Friedrich, Königlicher Sächsische Assistenzarzt I. Klasse, Kommandirt zum Kaiserlichen Gesundheitsamte.
