In 1892 Sir Wilfred Grenfell, a British medical missionary, was sent to Labrador, a large peninsula in northeastern Canada. He found the white settlers, the Eskimos, and the Indians there suffering from much illness, especially beriberi and tuberculosis, in an area where there were no doctors. Within three months he treated more than 900 patients. Grenfell spent the next forty years serving the people there.
