TABLE OF CONTENTS
DEDICATION
PREFACE
CHAPTER I
In the nature of an explanation and an apology

CHAPTER II
Being a discussion of the relationship between science and art-a subject that has nothing to do with typhus fever, but was forced upon us by the literary gentleman spoken of in the last chapter

CHAPTER III
Leading up to the definition of bacteria and other parasites, and digressing briefly into the question of the origin of life-a discussion without which the reader would be quite unprepared for what is to follow

CHAPTER IV
On parasitism in general, and on the necessity of considering the changing nature of infectious diseases in the historical study of epidemics
with a brief consideration of syphilis as an illustration of this contention. These matters have direct bearing on our biography, since we must proceed as though we were writing of a man for readers ignorant of the race of men

CHAPTER V
Being a continuation of Chapter IV, but dealing more particularly with so-called new diseases and with some that have disappeared

CHAPTER VI
Diseases of the ancient world: a consideration of the epidemic diseases which afflicted the ancient world, with attempts at making diagnoses which, if they are difficult to make at the distance of a thousand years, are equally difficult under the circumstances to disprove. Though this may appear another unnecessary postponement of our biography, it represents our effort to determine the antiquity of typhus fever

CHAPTER VII
A continuation of the consideration of diseases of the ancients, with particular attention to epidemics and the fall of Rome. We are still engaged in our search for evidences of the occurrence of typhus in ancient times

CHAPTER VIII
On the influence of epidemic diseases on political and military history and on the relative unimportance of generals. This, we promise, is the last serious digression from our main theme
CHAPTER IX
On the louse: we are now ready to consider the environment which has helped to form the character of our subject
1
CHAPTER X
More about the louse: the need for this chapter will be apparent to those who have entered into the spirit of this biography
CHAPTER XI
Much about rats-a little about mice

CHAPTER XII
We are at last arriving at the point at which we can approach the subject of this biography directly. We consider intimate family relations, immediate ancestors, and gestation of typhus

CHAPTER XIII
In which we consider the birth, childhood, and adolescence of typhus

CHAPTER XIV
In which we follow the earliest epidemic exploits of our disease
