It is therefore extremely difficult for me to believe that this small percentage can account for all the malaria there is in the world, mora especially as I have painted out that often where there are most mosquitoes there is very little malaria, and where there are no mins- quitoes absolutely every individual is suffering from it.
Ishould recommend "Medico" and "Resident"
to dismount from their hobbies, until they can offer mois enlightened explinations.

HARMSTON'S CIRCUS.
What I should like "Lexilent" to prove is that the thres mon did breathe the same air in sido their mosquito-proof hat, as they would have dinge in the open.
We are many of us in camping out familiar with the phenomena of our mosquito-curtains be- ing covered with bonds of moisture on the out- side, while they remain perfectly dry within. The temperature inside the nat is also several degrees higher than outside. The mosquito-curtain is only a piece of gauze and air can pass through it trasly, hut the fact remains that it doesn't always do so. This seems to shew that the atmosphere inside and outside must be different, "Medico" wishes to suffocate me with wal gas.
Ho might have chosen a more suitable example.
