Scope and Contents: These 15 essays are entries for the 1933 Sir Henry Wellcome Medal and Prize which is awarded to the author of an article published in the AMSUS official journal, "Military Medicine," or published in another peer-reviewed professional journal.

Each topic is arranged alphabetically by the fictitious name with the author's real name provided in parenthesis. Those names not in parenthesis are the author's real names.
