In den WarenkorbFirst edition of this extensive history of Chinese medicine. Thick octavo, original publisher's blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel, frontispiece of Founder of the Republic Dr. Sun Yat-Sen in his Chungsan suit, generously illustrated with 92 photographs, diagrams, and drawings, plate with photographs of the…Director of the Chinese Educational Mission Dr. T. Philip Sze and Honorable Senator H. C. Lodge laid in, rear pastedown pocket containing a folding map of China printed in color, two printed promotional pieces for the book, and a notice of the upcoming second edition with international order form tipped in. Signed by the two physician authors on a paper label tipped in to the half-title page. In very good condition with light rubbing to the extremities and light toning to the front and rear free endpaper, gift inscription to the margin of the autograph label. Rare and desirable signed. Dr. Wu Lien-Teh was awarded the Queen's Scholarship in 1896, which enabled him to attend Emmanuel College, Cambridge as the first student of Chinese heritage ever to do so. As an epidemiologist, he was sent to study the deadly plague outbreak that began in Harbin, China in the winter of 1910. Once there, he took a number of measures that will appear very familiar to those of us who lived through COVID-19 outbreak. He suggested quarantines, disinfected buildings that had housed the sick, and in at least one case ordered an infected plague hospital burned to the ground. Dr. Wu also understood that the corpses of plague victims carried disease, and as the ground was frozen solid, making burial impossible, he asked for an imperial sanction to allow cremation of the remains. His design for the Wu mask was the forerunner of today's N95 respirator, the elastomeric filter with at least 95% filtration. With his measures in place, rates of infection began to decline immediately, and in less than a year, the outbreak was over, but not before claiming more than 60,000 lives. Dr. Wu continued his work on plague research, and was also nominated in 1935 for the Nobel Prize in Medicine 1935.

In den WarenkorbFirst appearance in print of this historical essay by Wu Lien-teh (1879-1960), the physician who spearheaded wearing masks and self-isolating as tools of public health management. In 1935, he became the first Chinese doctor to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and his contributions to global epidemiology were celebra…ted in the Google Doodle for 10 March 2021. This essay anticipates Wu's wider contributions to the comprehensive history of Chinese medicine that he published with Wong K. Chimin in China in 1932. By this point in his career, he was firmly established as Republican China's authority on the containment of infectious diseases. Having studied at Cambridge in the 1890s, he returned to China in time to be on the front line of the fight against the 1910-11 plague in north-eastern China. In the face of scepticism from foreign doctors, he argued that disease could be spread by respiratory droplets and introduced self-isolation and the wearing of cotton and gauze masks. These strategies quickly became standard tools and were used to "flatten the curve" during the 1918 global flu pandemic. In 1930, he was appointed director of the National Quarantine Service. Concurrent to his medical research, Wu was an active member of the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, and he is named in the society's 1931-32 list of officers bound opposite the contents page. Volumes of the society's journal are now uncommon in commerce. Octavo, pp. 1-31 within the journal. Original blue wrappers, covers lettered in black. Covers lightly soiled, front wrapper and first few leaves a little creased at head, contents clean: a very good copy.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition, first printing, of this autobiography by the physician who first identified the benefits of wearing masks and self-isolating in pandemics. In 1935, he became the first Chinese doctor to be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and his contributions to global epidemiology were celebrated in the Google Doodle f…or 10 March 2021. Having studied at Cambridge in the 1890s, Wu Lien-teh (1879-1960) returned to China in time to be on the front line of the fight against the 1910-11 plague epidemic in northeastern China. In the face of scepticism from foreign doctors, he argued that infectious disease could be spread by respiratory droplets and introduced the use of cotton and gauze masks, as well as self-isolation, to curtail the plague's spread. These strategies quickly became standard tools of public health management and were used to "flatten the curve" during the 1918 flu pandemic. Arranged thematically rather than chronologically, Plague Fighter recounts the many twists and turns of Wu's career. Opening with the 1910-11 epidemic, the 24 chapters discuss topics such as his childhood and education, his founding of the Chinese National Quarantine Service in 1930, the narcotics problem, and Wu's interactions with the different centres of power in post-imperial China. They provide a detailed history of modern Chinese medicine and society during a fast-moving, transformative period. Octavo. Half-tone frontispiece, 21 similar plates. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With pictorial dust jacket showing the author working in his plague laboratory in January 1911. Cloth lightly sunned, edges spotted; jacket clipped, edges nicked, a couple of light stains: a near-fine copy in very good jacket.
