Ronald Ross always remembered his childhood in India, and his father King on the veranda, groaning with fever—malaria fever. Who, in those days, dreamed that this deadly disease was caused by the little, biting mosquitoes that were such a nuisance wherever there was water for them to breed in?

Years later, Ross returned to India as a doctor, and made a great discovery that was to be of value to the whole world—that the germs of the lever that had so affected his father breed in the stomach of mosquitoes, which act as a sort of miniature hypodermic syringe to carry malaria from sick men to healthy ones.

Here is the fascinating story of how Sir Ronald Ross brought the malaria menace under control. In 1902 Ross was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine; 1926 marked the opening of the Ross Institute and Hospital for Tropical Diseases. And today, in Malaya, in Africa, in India, in China, in Japan—wherever there is malaria, Sir Ronald Ross will be remembered gratefully, because he showed men how to conquer a killing disease.

Reviews

“This book is more than the story of a great discovery. It is an inspiring account of the rewards, both in fame and personal satisfaction, that a scientific career offers.”—New York Times.

“A readable story about a great personality.”—Virginia Kirkus.

“From Scottish farm boy to Nobel Prize winner, this book traces the events that led a brilliant mind to a new concept in the treatment of disease: the body has natural defenses against disease that must be discovered and enhanced. Teenagers who have grown up in the security of antibiotics will gain a perspective on medicine’s swift progress in the few years since Fleming discovered the bacteria-killing mold “—Scholastic Teacher.

Blurb

One morning in September 1928 a scientist at St. Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, noticed that an experiment he was working on had been ruined by an accident. Some bacteria he was studying had been damaged by a colony of mould spores.

The scientist was Alexander Fleming. The mould contained the substance from which the drug penicillin is made. The accident led to one of the greatest medical discoveries of modern times. It cost Fleming and the scientists who followed up his discovery many years of labor ; but the result was a life-saving substance which even cautious scientists called a miracle.

This is the story of how the miracle worked, and of the man who made it possible.

A Review from The Wall Street Journal

“To compile this book, Benjamin Drew, a white abolitionist from Plymouth, Mass., visited 14 communities in Canada and transcribed the stories of more than 100 formerly enslaved people. The result is a chorus of voices illuminating a harrowing chapter of history and the astonishing feats of resistance that ultimately beat back the system of American chattel slavery. Occupying a mere half-page near the beginning of the book is Harriet Tubman. She opens: “I grew up like a neglected weed—ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.” The many narratives here are as ripe with metaphor as they are with exquisitely detailed recollections of the land and people encountered during escape, and with wonderfully rich descriptions of often-prosperous enterprises created once freedom was achieved. This is the Underground Railroad’s multiperson memoir, with all the power and gravitas of an epic poem.” (From the The Wall Street Journal. “Five Best: Books on the Underground Railroad.” Selected by Kai Thomas, the author, most recently, of ‘In the Upper Country.’ By Kai Thomas January 13, 2023)

Reviewers on GoodReads

  1. “Most slave stories I’ve come across end in total despair and hopelessness. This is different. These are the victory stories of freedom in the face of daunting hopelessness, but they did it, they freed themselves! Still the lives of those brave souls faced other troubles. You feel with them, but freedom often gave a sense of relief despite almost everything else.”
  2. “I found this book by chance at a library book sale!
    It is a collection of over 100 testimonies of slaves who escaped the United States by way of the Underground Railroad to Canada.
    The effect of reading testimony after testimony of the fugitive slaves as they enter Canada is incredibly moving. And these are simply reports, just taking down the facts. For any emotion, you’ll have to read between the lines.
    These accounts, as you can imagine, give the reader a glimpse into the brutality, loss of dignity, and inhumane-ness of the slave trade. Even the few who were “treated well” were longing for freedom and even willing to risk their lives to find it.
    This book should be required reading! It is such a valuable record (straight from the mouths of slaves and not an interpretation of their stories) and gives insights into attitudes towards issues of race and slavery, the echoes of which we still – and must continue to – wrestle with today.”
