Happy Toil: Fifty-Five Years Of Tropical Medicine
By Major General Sir Leonard Rogers
Published by Frederick Muller Ltd: London 1950 1st Edition

" Happy Toil: Fifty-Five Years of Tropical Medicine (1950), by Major General Sir Leonard Rogers, is an engaging autobiographical account of one of Britain's foremost pioneers in tropical medicine and medical research. Spanning more than half a century, Rogers recounts his service in India and other parts of the British Empire, detailing his investigations into cholera, dysentery, kala-azar, leprosy, and other diseases that shaped the early development of modern tropical medicine. The book blends scientific discovery with personal adventure, offering vivid depictions of colonial medical practice, field research under extreme conditions, and the evolution of public health institutions during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Published by Frederick Muller Ltd., London, the first edition captures both the intellectual curiosity and humanitarian spirit that defined Rogers' long career. His reflections trace the founding of the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, his contributions to chemotherapy and nutrition studies, and his efforts to improve the health of indigenous populations through education and practical reform. Written with humility and understated humour, Happy Toil serves not only as a memoir of professional achievement but also as a historical window into the emergence of tropical medicine as a global discipline—bridging empire, science, and compassion in the service of human welfare.
