Histórico
The author qualified MD at Trinity Medical College, Toronto in 1899. In 1905 he was with Manson-Bahr at the London School of Tropical Medicine. In the next year he went to Kuala Lumpur in Malaya and devoted himself to the study of beri-beri, and its relation to a rice diet. He proved that the 'polished' grain lacked certain components, and so caused this deficiency disease, and from this theory the idea of 'Vitamins' was later developed. He also did valuable research on mosquitoes. In 1920 he was Director of the Malaria Bureau, and received his KCMG in 1934 [cf. BMJ 1938, i, pp. 312, 313].
