First edition. Wu Lien-teh (18791960) was born in Penang of Chinese descent, won a Queen's Scholarship, and went up to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, in 1896 as the first medical student of Chinese origin at the university. He returned to Asia a qualified physician, and in the winter of 1910 was dispatched to Manchuria to confront a rapidly spreading pneumonic plague epidemic that had already killed tens of thousands and showed no signs of abating. He was thirty-one years old. What he accomplished there was one of the most significant acts in the history of public health. Working against both the epidemic and the scepticism of foreign-trained doctors who doubted his methods, Wu Lien-teh arrived at conclusions that would become foundational to pandemic medicine: that pneumonic plague was spread by respiratory droplets, not by rat fleas; that the essential interventions were the use of protective masks and the isolation of infected individuals; and that mass cremation of the unburied dead was a necessary step in breaking the chain of transmission. He ordered and oversaw the cremation of over three thousand corpses that had been lying frozen on the ground. The death rate fell immediately. Within four months the epidemic was over. Wu Lien-teh had contained a plague that had threatened to spread across Asia and into Europe, and he had done it with tools that would become the basic infrastructure of every subsequent pandemic response, including those of 1918 and 2020. He went on to establish the Manchurian Plague Prevention Service, build twenty modern hospitals and research institutions across China, co-author the acclaimed History of Chinese Medicine (1932), and in 1935 become the first Chinese physician nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Plague Fighter, written in his final years at the urging of Joseph Needham and published the year before his death, is arranged thematically rather than purely chronologically and encompasses an extraordinary range of material.

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.

First 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 celebrated 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.

Near fine-. * Inscribed by the author to Henrik Kauffmann. ** Ruth Huang Shu-chiung (1883-1937). *** Henrik Kauffmann (1888-1963) served as a Danish diplomat in Beijing/Peking from 1921 to 1923. He earned his fame as very independent Danish ambassador to the United States during World War II, while his home country was occupied by the Nazis. Defying all pressure from Nazi-controlled home, he defined his own policy, he himself deciding what served Denmark best. In the end he proved to be right.

First 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 for 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.
