Excerpt from Held at the New York Academy of Medicine, Vol. 2: 15-17 West 43d Street; September 9th to 14th, 1907; Official Transalctions
When I first received the highly appreciated invitation of the Organization Committee of the Sixth International Dermatological Congress to make a short address upon the relation of the Navy to the study of tropical diseases, it naturally appeared fitting that I should first take up the consideration of that branch of tropical medicine dealing with affections of the skin. The importance of this section of the diseases of the tropics is, however, so paramount in the Navy that I shall only be able to briefly refer to the lines of investigation which have been and are being pursued by the officers of the Medical Corps of the Navy in relation to cutaneous medicine.
That this statement is based upon fact and not expressed merely for the purpose of harmonizing with the object of this Congress is best shown by the statement that, taking a period of ten years, I find diseases of the skin caused practically twice as great damage to the health of the Navy as was caused by all other diseases of a quarantinable nature.
