This important branch of nursing history has been virtually ignored, and yet, as will be seen, it could offer lessons for the future. This paper relies mainly on primary sources. It also demonstrates the value of a nursing journal as a vehicle for records, in this case, those of the Fever Nurses' Association. This original study illustrates how fever nursing arose and declined in an endeavour to serve the needs of society.
