In 1925, he encouraged use of tryparsamide to cure sleeping sickness. The drug was developed by Walter Abraham Jacobs, Michael Heidelberger, Louise Pearce, and Wade Hampton Brown of the Rockefeller Foundation and tested in the Belgian Congo in 1920 by Louise Pearce. Dr. Piper also established the area’s first leper treatment center in 1932 and the first tuberculosis treatment center in 1939.〔Klingman, Jack.
