Book Description
Plague prevention in Manchuria became an urgent matter both of public health and of politics in the 1920s and 1930s. If the virulent pneumonic plague could not be quarantined and suppressed, all North China and even nearby countries might be endangered. If China could not deal with the plague, Japan, Russia, and indeed the whole outside world might be justified in moving into Manchuria to do the job, and China's already limited sovereignty there could be further weakened.

Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the International Plague Conference Held at Mukden, April, 1911 The epidemic of pneumonic plague, which raged in Manchuria and north China during the winter months of 1910 - 11, caused the death of nearly people. No outbreak of this magnitude and nature has occurred in modern times, and hitherto, as our knowledge concerning epidemic pneumonic plague has been meager, the study of the Manchurian epidemic, in all of its features, was one of particular importance.
