A fact from Ernest Muir (doctor) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 July 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Scottish medical missionary Ernest Muir championed the use of the traditional Ayurvedic cure chaulmoogra oil in treating Hansen's disease (leprosy)?
It's possible that Muir was referred to in the novel Who Walk Alone by Perry Burgess. It's a long time since I read it (1962, I think) but I seem to remember that the main character, a leprosy sufferer, is assisted by a leading doctor-researcher character who resembles Ernest Muir. The book has attracted a great deal of notice over the years, so there may be a citation for that somewhere, if anyone is interested. Storye book (talk) 10:06, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
