"The study of pathological lesions produced by the war gasses upon animals under controlled experimental conditions was of eminent practical importance during the war, and quite justly enlisted the interest and services of many of the foremost pathologists. The studies of Winternitz and his coworkers, which were available to the Chemical Warfare Service during the war, have now been made generally accessible in [this] comprehensive and beautifully illustrated monograph from the Yale University Press" (Science).
