Notebook contains loose inserts the majority of which are reprints of medical leaflets which include information on Kahn's antigen for syphilis, Wellcome brand toxin for Schick reaction and tuberculins as well as hand written notes on sanitation and hygiene for military personnel. Also includes hand drawn diagrams and charts.

Whittingham conducted this research whilst serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) so content was possibly created in India, but no location is recorded.
