For this they were punished with a dread- ful fever; for the marshes where these creatures existed in great num-
_bers_were_said_to_be_the_haunt of
evil spirits.
But it was not only the interest of the ports of India which was aroused by this mysterious fever of such pecullor prevalence in warm, marshy localities: the great Greek poet Aristophanes, the last of the long line
of Athenian dramatists at whose scathing wit not only Athens laughed, wrote a comedy called "The Wasps". In this, at the end of the first Act, the leader of the chorus reminds his hearers of "those agues and those tevers which throttled your sires by night and smothered your grandsires couched upon their beds."
Reference must also be made to the many humorous writers and playwrights of the Middle Ages, the imes of most of whom are unknown to-day, but whose writings contain constant allusions to "terrible pesilience of the South", used as a means of exhortation to a pure He. And, as if to document for all time this striking interest on the part of the poetic mind in malaria-for this is the "pestilence" referred to it was finally reserved to a poet to lift the last vell behind which the secret of this disease lay hidden. It was, in fact, Ronald Ross, who, while serving In the Indian Medical Service during the "ninelles", discovered the malarial parasite in the stomach of the anopheles mosquito. Ross's leisure was spent in the authorship of several volumes of poems and works of fiction, and on the evening of the day of his great discovery the poetle instinct in him asserted itself; in his joy he sent the following stanzas to his wife:
This Day relenting God Hath pinced within my hand A wondrous thing; and God Be praised. At his command Seeking His secret deeds With tears and toiling breath, I. And thy cunning seeds,
O million-murdering Death, Nevertheless, Ross's plan to ex- terminate the anopheles mosquito falled in its object, änd malaria con- tinued to flourish and to ravage man- kind in spite of quinine. But because the life-cycle of the malarial parasile -man-mosquito-men-wn now ac curately known, it became possible to fight the disease with new weapons which far surpassed the old. Much experimental research in the well- known Bayer Laboratories finally led to the synthesis 'Atebrin' and 'Plasmoquine.' Through these drugs malaria can be completely cured within the space of a few days, and both relapses and harmful complica- tlans entirely avolded (Advt.)
