Read a fantastic non-fiction in the mid 1980s from a library in South Carolina (Midlands Technical College) about multiple cases regarding parasitic diseases around the world.
The book was like a biography of one particular doctor, perhaps in early 1900s and his treatment of several patients in different parts of the world.
Does anyone have any suggestions where to find this information, or do you know this book, or the doctor's name?
Thanks for any leads,

Couchcarrot,

This is not the book for which I have been looking. However, it will be one that I will seek out to read.
I believe that the physician about whom the book was written (and perhaps its author) practiced in the 1920s and 1930s throughout the world. His cures often involved ridding folks of parasitic worms of many varieties. His patients were in Asia, Africa, and South America.
I'll be most interested in the book you mentioned, though, since my father returned from WWII with a virilent case of malaria. He was a lucky one and recovered and survived to age 81.

Appreciatively, oldlady_bee
