Description
The unique role of the Seamen's Hospital Society (SHS) in the foundation of the formal discipline of tropical (colonial) medicine at its Albert Dock Hospital is not widely appreciated. For more than ten years the SHS published an in-house journal. This book documents many of the articles featured in this journal.
