Lambert informs Truby that he feels better after his stay in Hot Springs, Arkansas. He has discovered the names of the immune nurses who served at Quemados, and asserts that Kelly's book errs in stating that yellow fever was best treated with the aid of trained female nurses. He maintains that Ames was most successful in treating yellow fever when he used male orderlies.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
