About the author
Warren T. Vaughan (Warren Taylor Vaughan, 1893–1944) was an American physician and medical author associated with Richmond, Virginia. Contemporary and library sources identify him as a specialist in allergy, and his books include Primer of Allergy, Practice of Allergy, and The Story of Allergy.
He also wrote Influenza: An Epidemiologic Study in 1921, an early extended study of influenza that remained notable enough to be preserved and later reissued in digital collections. Taken together, his books suggest a writer interested both in specialist medical practice and in making complicated health topics easier for readers to understand.
Vaughan died in 1944 at the age of 51. From the record that is readily available online, he is remembered chiefly through his medical writing and his role in the early popular and professional literature on allergy.
