Seaman, Louis Livingston. Real triumph of Japan; conquest of the silent foe. **$1.50. Appleton.
“Major Seaman expatiates further in this volume upon the same theme exploited by him in his former account of his experiences with the Japanese army—the success of the Japanese officials in preventing and curing disease. The reasons for this remarkable record are the simple, non-irritating food of the Japanese soldier, the obedience to orders of the surgeons invariably displayed, and the thorough preparation and constant vigilance of those in charge of the health of the army. Major Seaman considers this a greater victory than that won on the field of battle, and makes an earnest plea for similar measures in the American army.”—Critic.

“The book is deserving of more careful consideration than ‘From Tokio through Manchuria with the Japanese,’ as it enlarges upon the reasons for the statements made in that readable volume.”

“The American patriot, the soldier in the ranks and his relative at home, as well as the book-critic, can gladly commend this well-written work and be thankful for it. It is a trumpet-blast of prophecy.” William Elliot Griffis.
