It was interesting to note that there were periodical outbreaks of malarin at intervals of 15 to 20 years in the reclaimed land on the Zuider Zoo in Holland, and on his return journey to London ho paid a visit thong to see the conditions,

During the That, few years Sir Malcolm. Watson said, much had been written and glaimed for pina- moquine, and he has insisted during this time that reports should be accepted with great caution until move is known of this drug. He had visited Dr. Schuleman, one of the inventors of the drag, at the Bayer Works at Elberfeld, and Dr. Schuleman had also come to the Itos Institut. They wore 00 operating to discover drugs which will assist in dealing with malaria, and also improve treatment.
