Malaria: Its Cause, Prevention and Cure By W. E. Deeks, M.D. & R. C. Connor, M.D.

An early 20th-century medical pamphlet addressing malaria, produced by the United Fruit Company, the powerful American corporation heavily involved in Central America and the Caribbean. This publication reflects the company’s efforts to manage tropical disease among workers and regions tied to its operations—offering a direct glimpse into the intersection of medicine, industry, and colonial-era labor systems.

The booklet outlines the causes, prevention methods, and treatments for malaria, written in accessible language for practical use in the field. Pieces like this were often distributed to employees, plantation workers, or administrators operating in malaria-prone regions.
