Abstract
DB. W. A. YOUNG, Director of the Medical Research Institute, Gold Coast, while engaged on investigations connected with yellow fever, contracted the disease and died on May 30 at Accra. His death is peculiarly tragic in view of his early age, and of the fact that two other investigators have died in West Africa in like circumstances within a period of a few months. It is believed that he became infected while making a postmortem examination on his colleague, Dr. Noguchi, whose death was referred to in our issue of June 9 (p. 914).
