Summary: A young boy, blinded by cataracts, is brought to the hospital for tratment. However, his mother, driven by fear relating to talk of witchcraft, removes him from the hospital, endangering the boy's recovery. Thus begins another encounter between the witchdoctors and the Jungle Doctor. Jungle Doctor teaches that their illnesses are caused by infection and parasites and not by curses and spells. They also learn that sin brings death and that there is only one way of breaking its power – the Lord Jesus Christ.
Message: Interwoven throughout the adventures and dramas of the book is the message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and the need to live for Him.
