To their number Waterwitch must now be added the devotees of the Welland science of aviation. A writer in a German Whiting magazine has been relating some of the

"In the tropica especially in a new | country like Malays, and above all in what

in practically a new industry like plantations rubber, the problem facing the medical officer is not simply that of reducing a soma bat unsatisfactory death-rate. In Malaya very often the existence of almost the whole population is at atako, and death sometimes lays claim to a third of the population in a year." This was one of the opening sentences, says a London contem porary, in contribution sent by Dr. Malcolm Watson, chief medical officer to the Hospitals Association, Klang, in the Federated. Malay States. It read before the section of Tropical Medicine. He showed some of the difficulties that face every doctor who tries to reform the maitation of the tropics, He must never forgot the necessity for economy. Neither Gesarument nor private individuals have unlimited money for expenditure on sanitation. At every turn sanitation and Goance are inextricably mixed. If a man lives by growing rice in amalarious swamp he, by reason of his poverty, must suffer malaria, because the removal of the malaria would at the same time remove his livelihood. Ha therefors suggested that even when high death-rates call for immediate sotion drastic measures should not be taken unless results are OF fairly certain. If the doctor desires pro- grese and tries to drive the o tate managers he will often find himself to be the most £1,500,000 serious obstacle to reform. £1,125,000 £582,600 The two great tropical pests that D
