Peculiar elongated and sickle-shaped red blood corpuscles in a case of severe anemia.Arch. intern. Med., 6, 517-21, 1910.Identification of the sickle-cell type of anemia. Abstract
"This case is reported because of the unusual blood findings, no duplicate of which I have ever seen described. Whether the blood picture represents merely a freakish poikilocytosis or is dependent on some peculiar physical or chemical condition of the blood, or is characteristic of some particular disease, I cannot at present answer. I report some details that may seem non-essential, thinking that if a similar blood condition is found in some other case a comparison of clinical conditions may help in solving the problem."
