DR. T. W. WARE'S INSTRUC- TIVE LECTURE.
An extremely interesting and Instructive lecture on malaria was delivered at the Chinese Y.M.C.A. last night by Dr. T. W. Ware, Modical Officer of the Infectious Diseases Hospital. This was the firat of three lectures which Dr. Ware will deliver on successive Wednesdays and they have been arranged the management of the Chinese YM.S.A
Dr. Ware's lecture was delivered in the English language and was translated by Mr. T. K. Chak, the leader of the St. John Ambulanco Corps.
In the epurse of his lecture. Br.
Ware said:" "
Matarla is the most important of all fevers. Although it does not always prove fatal, it causes a lot of sickness as it is so widespread in almost all warm countries. In indin alone about 1,180,000 people die of malaria every year. The number of people who suffer from malaria is enormous.
#
In few places, especially Africa, the whole of the people in a village have malaria.. In other places only a few have malaria. How much there will be we shall see as we go along.
