Notification by the Colonial Secretary, The Honourable J. H. Stewart-Lockhart, C.M.G.
14 OCT OF
Thorus of late celebrated physicians have discovered that the infection of malaria is caused by mosquitoes which, though the smallest of insects, are able to injure man. This Notification is issued for the protection of the people.
For the mosquitoes first imbibe the blood of persons suffering from Malaria, which causes the minute poisonous living organisms to enter the blood and be retained in their trunks. When they sting those without sickness (in their systems), the same thing happens as if they were sowing the seeds for a disease, and there is no limit to the flow of the poison.
You must know that mosquitoes can (thus) propagate disease amongst people, and that these are not statements without foundation.
In future, you must be careful to watch against (mosquitoes) and devise means to destroy them, so that they shall not be in existence.
Pay attention to the larvae; in the water, you should exert yourselves more to exterminate them by robbing them out and preventing them from injuring human beings.
Within and without houses, and in court yards, kitchens, and all other places, useless crockery must not be placed, as water can gather in them and cause the mother mosquitoes to deposit their eggs, and many larvae of mosquitoes are produced which burst their cases and become mosquitoes.
This is important. Do not, because it seems a small matter, despise it.
