Abstract: A chapter on the reform of the Army Medical Department after the Crimean War, with some reference to a certain Professor of Pathology, Almroth Wright. He worked on a vaccine against the so-called 'Malta Fever' on which he first experimented on himself and incidentally gave himself an attack of the disease. In connection with 'Malta fever', Captain M.L. Hughes R.A.M.C. wrote a classic monograph on Mediterranean, Malta, or undulant fever in 1897. He had coined the term undulant fever because he disapproved of a limiting geographical term like 'Malta fever' for a disease of which the distribution had not been defined.
