Balfour, Andrew (Medical) WAR AGAINST TROPICAL DISEASE: BEING SEVEN SANITARY SERMONS.
London, (1921), 219pp. Strange variant, w/no date on t.p. (NLIM has 1920 & 1921 eds.) & w/undated intro. (NLIM has March 1920 & Jan 1920(!) respectively). The intro. in this copy is on a cancel. The pocket at rear is empty, but NLIM reports their copies contain charts of Ministries of Interior & of Health. Wonder what happened? Because our copy is inscribed by Wellcome, dated 1928, we suggest that after initial ptg, because "dated" the enterprising co. prepared a new signature for a "gift giving" inventory that would not become obsolete so quickly. So, obsolete charts would be discarded. Lovely copy, old paper wafer on bkstrp.
