The great fact which overy resident in those countries, and therefore every possible sufferer, has te koop prominently in mind is how to avoid this dread complaint in the first place and, in the next, bow to take steps to cure it should he be unfortunate enough to contract it.

Speaking broadly, no tropical diseseo is more pestilentini then dysentory, for it undermines the health, depresses the nervous system, reduces the tono and vigour of the whole body, diminishes the mental energy, and, generally, interferes with the individual's physical power of resistance against disease. The resa't is that, unlike what happens in most other diseases, one attack does not not as a proventive, but rather predisposes to another, thus rendering the weakened system liable to still farther in roads, until the condition of the sufferer is deplorable indeed, for he may be attacked by many after-effects, like abooss of the liver, dropsy, scurry, and nervous affections
