A very valuable sourceby Anonymous

I used this to treat myself many times while living in West Africa. I would highly recommend this book to anybody who is going to travel. There is also a French version (I think it is Il n'y a pas docteur) - which you could give to a local medical provider to help you out.

It was easy to follow, yet comprehensive. Anyone who is traveling off the beaten path should find room for this resource.
