Biography of Hideyo Noguchi (1876-1928), Japanese-born bacteriologist of the Rockefeller Institute. Noguchi made important advances in the study of snake venoms, smallpox and yellow-fever vaccines, and the laboratory diagnosis of trachoma. In 1913, he isolated the cause of syphilis and developed a skin test for it. He made major contributions to the understanding of Rocky Mountain spotted fever and infectious jaundice. Dr. Noguchi died in West Africa while investigating the cause of yellow fever. This copy is INSCRIBED by the AUTHOR to Dr. Arthur C. Bachmeyer, who was Superintendent of Cincinnati General Hospital from 1915-1934, and Dean of the Medical School there, 1925 through 1933.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
