George Dick, American Bacteriologist

George Frederick Dick (1881-1967) was an American physician and bacteriologist best known for his work with scarlet fever. In 1923, he and his wife Gladys Dick managed to locate the cause of the disease in a toxin produced by a strain of Streptococcus bacteria. Using this, they were able to create an antitoxin for treatment and a non-toxic vaccine for immunization. In 1933, George and Gladys Dick were awarded the Cameron Prize for Therapeutics of the University of Edinburgh.
