The prevention of malaria is a subject of supreme importance for the whole of the Tropica, Malaria is perhaps the most ubiquitous of all maladies in warm countries, and perserutes humani- ty in some of the most beautiful areas of the world. It used to kill, not merely render sick, more than a million persons in Irdin alone, according to an old official estimate; and we can only infer the prevalence of the disease in Africa and tropical America. -
Even in England, where our bad climate probably does much to control our mosquitoes, some three or four hundred cases of malaria occurred during the war, having been communicated by English Anopheles from patients who had been infected at Salonica
