Abstract
BY the death of F. H. S. Curd the science of chemotherapy has lost an outstanding contributor. In the years he devoted to the chemotheraphy of the parasitic diseases, Curd and his co-workers achieved results the scientific and practical importance of which have not been surpassed in this field. That the investigations in which he was engaged proceeded with smoothness and certainty was largely due to Curd‘s personal qualities. His sound common sense, well-developed critical faculties, and an unassuming wealth of knowledge allied to remarkable technical ability ensured the hearty co-operation of his associates, chemical, biological and medical, and promoted the directional stability of the investigations in which he played so prominent a part. His place will indeed be difficult to fill.
