Yellow Fever Institute Bulletins. These bulletins embody the results of the work of the Yellow Fever Institute which was organized within the service in 1901 for the purpose of studying questions relating to yellow fever. Seventeen bulletins were issued-the last one in 1909. As the causes of yellow fever and the methods of treatment are now well established, it is not likely that there will be any further issues in this series unless some new facts regarding the diseases are developed. Venereal Disease Bulletins. This series consists of short popular articles dealing with the subject of venereal diseases. The publication of this series was started in 1918 as a result of the special attention being paid to venereal diseases in connection with the war. Keep Well Series. This is a popular series on sanitation and prevention of diseases designed especially for the general public. Its publication was started in 1919. Miscellaneous Publications. This series includes pamphlets intended primarily for administrative use, such as quarantine regulations, instructions for medical inspection of aliens, official list of officers and stations, lists of publications, etc. It should be noted that successive issues of each of the regulations, lists of officers, etc., bear the same serial number, the date indicating which is the later publication. Other publications. Other publications, mostly for official use, are issued from time to time as occasion arises. These include a weekly list of changes of station, the general regulations of the service, regulations regarding uniforms, regulations governing hospitals, etc. Creation and Status APPENDIX 4 LAWS A.
