Fig. 3-25. Edward B. Vedder (1878-1952) was director of pathology at the Army Medical School (now Walter Reed Army Institute of Research) from 1904 to 1913. It was during this period that he wrote his seminal book on beriberi. After serving in the Philippines during World War I, Colonel Vedder returned to the Army Medical School in 1919. It was there that he wrote this still-useful book on chemical casualties. From 1925 to 1929 he was chief of medical research for the Chemical Warfare Service. He had an illustrious civilian academic career following his retirement from the army. Photograph Courtesy of National Library of Medicine. Bethesda, Md.
