Excerpt from Infection, Immunity and Serum Therapy: In Relation to the Infectious Diseases of Man
Immunity, in its present state of development, with its manifold new terms and special methods of experimentation, is a subject which appears difficult to one who has not studied the newer literature assiduously and grown into a knowledge of the conditions through actual work in the lab oratory. Much of the literature is technical in character and appears in journals not commonly found in the hands of the physician and student. Much of it also is comparatively recent, and its essence has not yet appeared in books which are in general use. The literature of immunity, more over, grows so amazingly that the analysis even of current works is a task of no mean proportions.
At the same time, the subject is one of great interest and importance, and there exists a gen eral wish, frequently expressed, to know more about the recent advances and the conditions which have operated against the success of serum therapy on a broader scale.

Excerpt from Infection, Immunity and Serum Therapy: In Relation to the Infectious Diseases of Man
The circumstances that led to the first publication of this book as well as its general scope and character are explained fully by Dr. Ricketts in the preface to the first edition. The book met with such favorable reception that the edition was exhausted while the demand continued active. This indicated that an actual want had been met and so it was determined to publish a new edition, revised and enlarged, and for some time previous to his greatly lamented and untimely death Dr. Ricketts gave freely of his already heavily taxed energies and strength to the work of revision.
Surely a simple word or two in tribute to the memory and achievements of Dr. Ricketts are not out of place at this point. He died in Mexico City, May 3, 1910, at the age of 39, from typhus fever which he was investigating with splendid success when he was taken ill. Thus a noble and inspiring career of large service to humanity and of rich promise came to a sudden and heroic end.
