TO CONQUER MALARIA. WORDS OF WISDOM FROM A PHYSICIAN'S PEN. "Those who conquer Malaria conquer the tropica," is a proverb with which every resident in the tropics is familiar. While in consequence of the onward march of scientific achievement, this discase, so depressing in its onset, so devitalising in its effect, and so disorganizing in its rosult to the whole system is better under stood than it need to be, it is still, unhapply exceedingly prevalent, and is likely to continue until the conditions which produce it have been banished.
Most people know that while Malaria may take various forms it is due to a special germ or microbe, whlak destroys the red corpuscles by which the oxygen of the air is carried by the blood to every part of the body to burn up its impurities. The destruction of these corpuscles produces the marked symptoms se churnsferistio of the disease tho pale, sallow, earthy com. tplexion, the mental and physical lassitude, the depression, the morbid thoughts and feelings, ho aching muscles and the tender joints.
Bad ca is all this, the result of Anemia or poverty of the blood, as it is commonly called, which makes life a bundan to the sufferer, it may go considerably farther until it produces that wasted and dangerous condition of the system doctors call Cachexia,
For long Quinine has boon the shoot anchor of the physician, and in the acute stages it generally answers admirably, but in the later stages something else, must be employed to destroy the effects wrought by the microbes,
