Abstract
DR. CURT WACHTEL organized the pharmacological section of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute during the War of 1914-18. He was intimately concerned in the investigations which led to the very successful use of chemical weapons by the Germans, and has kept his notebooks, which contain descriptions of many experiments still unpublished. After the War, he studied the hazards due to toxic gases in peace-time in Germany, Russia and elsewhere. He now lives in the United States, and has written a book on chemical warfare which he hopes will help the military of his adopted country. The book was published in the United States by the Chemical Publishing Company and an English edition has now appeared.
