I would first like to thank the University for the honour they have done me by asking me to deliver this Long Fox Memorial Lecture and to say that it is with a great sense of unworthiness that I attempt the task.

I would like, as it were, to be merely its mouthpiece and to let the Journal speak for itself and give its own unique record of medical history in this part of the world over the past 87 years. It is customary at the outset of this lecture to pay some tribute to the memory of Dr. Edward Long Fox but, with your permission, on this occasion I would like to postpone this to a later part of the talk, the

متن کاملThe Twenty-Eighth Long Fox Memorial Lecture: Forest Folk: Modern Medicine in the Congo
The subject upon which I propose to speak seems particularly appropriate, for Dr. Long Fox was always especially interested in the foreign mission field.
