The name of Sir Henry Wellcome looms large in the modern history of medicine, and of late, rather than being content merely to enjoy Sir Henry's beneficence to their discipline, historians have begun to study the history of the company he founded with Silas Burroughs and to relate his other ventures. Patrick D'Arcy has produced a detailed account of one relatively little known project that Henry Wellcome supported: the establishment of research laboratories in Khartoum in 1903. D'Arcy was professor of pharmacology at the University of Khartoum in the 1960s, and his affection for the Sudan and his fascination with its history are evident throughout the volume
