His books lay down the principles of military sanitation and hospital ventilation, pioneered in antisepsis, showed that jail and hospital fever are the same, improved ventilation on ships, barracks, jails, and mines, correlated the different forms of dysentery, and coined the name influenza. The preface includes an account of the origin of the Red Cross idea.
