First Edition
1st Edition. Hardbound 8vo (about 8.5 inches tall) 461 pages. Bibliography, index. Description: ''One of the foremost scientists at Johns Hopkins writes readably but authoritatively of healing, infections, antiseptics, and serums, telling the whole story of the endless fight between man and bacteria. Miss Hill explains to t he reader the mysteries of bacterial behavior and of the defense response of the body to infection. The first part of the book deals with bacteria. There are descriptions of the wily streptococcus, of the pneumococcus, and of the characteristics which make them so deadly. In the next section Miss Hill tells about the vitally important defense mechanism of the body. The pages that describe the way in which wounded tissues heal are fascinating. The concluding sections deal with the chemical aids which science can now offer to the body defenses. In addition to being authoritative, the book is written for the layman's enjoyment in a witty and informal style. It is studded with human interest stories of the great men and events of biological history.''

A very good copy. First edition, first printing, presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Inscribed for Dr. G. A. C. Colston, from his long-time associate, Justine Hill, Baltimore, Mar 26, 1940". This work on disease-causing microbes was described as "the best popular presentation that had yet appeared" on the subject by psychiatrist Karl Menninger (Ogilvie, Biographical Dictionary of Women in Science, p. 601). Author Justina Hill (1893-?) attended Smith College and the University of Michigan, then served as a Red Cross worker, running a bacteriological laboratory in Spartanburg, South Carolina during the final two years of the First World War. She was then transferred with a Smith College unit to the Near East, where she ran a laboratory for five thousand refugees. "Upon returning to the United States, Hill was made an associate in bacteriology at the Brady Urological Institute and two years later an instructor in urology. She published numerous technical articles in medical journals as well as popular books on bacteriology" (Ogilvie). In 1942 she published Silent Enemies, on the communicable diseases of war, and in 1944 she contributed a piece in the Atlantic: "How Bad is the Flu? The possibility of recurrent epidemics, perhaps of increasing virulence, even of another pandemic, must be faced".

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition of Justina Hill's fascinating account of disease during World War II, from malaria to typhus, with information about the cutting-edge treatments of the 1940s. Written by the groundbreaking American bacteriologist, Justina Hill, this book carefuly examines the disease-related perils of war in sections titled "Jungle Germs," "Out of the East," "Through Shot and Shell," "Air-Raid Shelters and Training Camps," "Filth Diseases," "The Control of Venereal Disease," and "Versatile Viruses." Hill's writings were critically important in a war that stood to be won or lost due to diseases like malaria and typhoid. In the aftermath of the war, her writings proved equally important to those trying to rehabilitate the vast numbers of refugees and concentration camp survivors. Book fine, dust jacket with a few tiny chips to extremities. A near-fine copy.
