He had special pleasure in visiting Malaya because he knew of no other part of the Empire which had thrown so much energy into the work of fighting that enormous disease-malaria

He called it enormous because of the enormous number of lives that were lost through it each year, the enormous financial loss from death and inefficiency, and the even more enormous sickness and misery due to it.

But in Malaya, things were different. His own fundamental researches were done in the "years 1806; 1897, 1806 and 1809. By that year he had demonstrated the life history of malaria parasites in certain mosquitoes, and he had laid down the sanitary policy of stamping out the

Life Can be Lengthened.

He insisted on Medical Research having as its ultimate aim the alleviation of human suffering and death, and he be]: lieved that as we acquired more and more knowledge the allotted span of life might be considerably widened. He himself had nearly reached the allotted span, and he found life so full of interest that le resented the suggestion that man was necessarily done at that age.

In England, within his own life time, the average life time of people had been | extended by many years. And he was not prepared to fix any definite limit to what man might attain-zot merely in length of years, in increased, enjoyment of life, but in increased efficiency.

Sir Ronald's speech was listened to with rapt attention, punctuated with applause.
