FINLAY Y BARRES, CARLOS JUAN. 1833-1915.
Manuscript Notebook in English, with portions in German, French and Spanish, recording cases of yellow fever in Cuba, 8vo, 400 pages (including approximately 100 blanks), [Havana], April 1900-June 9th 1906, with occasional hand-drawn illustrations, including tipped-in drawing of a fly, blind-ruled half calf and marbled boards, paper spine label, covers rubbed, text lightly browned, some offsetting from ink, some ink corrosion to a few drawings.
Provenance; Carlos Finlay (some childhood notations on the blank end leaves by his grandson Enrique Finlay); Entry on p 203 for a case situation for a cousin(?) A.P. Finlay, an engineer for Havana brewery.
A fine and detailed casebook written up by Carlos Finlay, the noted Cuban physician and epidemologist, who provided the scientific evidence, through his researches in Cuba in the 1870s, that Yellow Fever, a scourge in the Tropics and elsewhere, was transferred by the mosquito. This notebook provides a methodical record of cases of yellow fever with names of patients, their symptoms, and the results (often death), of their illness. It covers his time as a physician in Havana, including a 4 pp listing of Yellow Fever cases August 5th 1899 to April 5th 1900, documenting the visits of the Yellow Fever Commission to hospitals in Cuba.
Carlos Juan Finlay was born in Cuba to a Scottish-born father and French-born mother. His education in Europe was interrupted twice by illnesses, including cholera and typhoid fever, before completion in Philadelphia, where he studied under John and Silas Mitchell, proponents of the germ theory of disease. He graduated in 1855 and returned to Havana in 1857 to set up an ophthalmology practice. It was during the 1870s that he formulated his hypothesis and proofs for the spread of yellow fever through insect bites. In 1881 he presented his theories at the International Sanitary Conference where it was well received, but it took until 1900 when the Walter Reed Commission reported its findings for his theory to be universally accepted. Foe a long time Reed received much of the credit for Finlay's research 20 years earlier. The US military governor in Cuba in 1900 described Finlay's work as "the greatest step forward made in medical science since Jenner's discovery of the vaccination." In many ways his successes did not come to the fore until the US took over the control of Cuba after the Spanish American War. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine seven times, but never awarded. A Museum of Medical History in Havana is named in his honor, as is the UNESCO Carlos J. Finlay Prize for Microbiology, and formerly a Cuban national award for medical merit, the Order of Carlos J. Finlay.
