SMALL BUT DANGEROUS

Harm Done By Flea And Mosquito #

When we think of dan- rerous animals, we think at once of great man-eating animals like lions and tigers. and also of snakes, "croco- diles, sharks, "the num- ber of people who fall vic- tims to those animals every year makes quite a--respec- table figure.

CINEMA & GENERAL

And yet these are not the most dangerous creatures for hum- anity. A very much

greater danger is that constituted by other creatures, whose size is in inverse proportion to the harm they do

.

For example, we think that the flea is merely annoying, and not dangerous to man. And yet it is to this tiny insect that humanity Owes the terrible plagues that have caused so much havoc throughout the ages. I.. the 14th century, more than a quar- ter of the population of Europe succumbed to the "Black Plague”. It is by its bite that the flea in- troduces into man's body the bacillus of the rat plague.

precau- апа

By observing hygienic t'ons (destruction of rats fleas) the development of this terrible malady has been checked. For a long time the mosquito was looked on as an annoying. but not a dangerous, • insect. It is to eminent men like Laveran, and Sir Ronald Rees, that we

10s- quitoes can be malaria transmit- ting agents of malaria parasites. It is their sting that introduces the latter into the body and pro- duces malignant fevera."

We get some idea of what this means, when we learn that

the number of victims claimed every year by malaria through- out the world amounts to several millions. But silence has not remained inactive and has found for malaria a remedy that is both "preventive and curative-quinine. According to the Malaria Com- mission of the League of Na- tlons, a dose of six grains of quinine each day during the

fever whole of the

season is ́enough to give ̈ ̈ immunity from this malady, and for the treat- ment of malaria itself, 15 to 20 grains, of quinine a day for five to seven days is quite enough. Any relapse is treated in the same way, It is not necessary to give additional treatment.
