Excerpt from In the Wonderland of Peru: The Work Accomplished by the Peruvian Expedition of 1912, Under the Auspices of Yale University and the National Geographic Society
We found an epidemic of smallpox and typhoid fever raging in the towns of Arma, Puquiura, and Lucma. These towns of 150 to 200 inhabitants had had a death toll of 40 and 50 people each.
There was very little opportunity for medical work among the native Indians, but the more educated Peruvians Were extremely glad to come to the free clinics.
