The stamping out of malaria may be placed as the most important problem before the world, as it has baon stated that one-half of the mortality of the human race is dus to this disease. While evidence in favour of the mosquito theory is accumulating, however, it is being shown that malaria may be spread by other agents. In the Prussian army, for instance, Grawita finds the disease at its height when mosquito-bites are few, and a marked decrease in cases în places where the drinking water supply has been improved.
