dc.description.abstractTHIS little book is an enlargement of a previous work by the same author, and should prove of the utmost use 16 those for whom it is written. The exact knowledge concerning the epidemiology of malariƦ which has been attained during the last six or seven years has made clear the principles upon which the disease may be prevented in the individual and perhaps exterminated in the locality. The wide dissemination of these principles and of the facts upon which they are based is the next obvious step in the campaign against malaria, and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine has done good service in the publication of this work. Within the short compass of some seventy pages we find a lucid and succinct account of the nature and life-history of the malarial parasite, of the habits and life-histories of the gnats which serve as its definitive hosts, of the precautions to be taken to avoid infection, and of the elementary treatment of the disease should it be acquired. In short, nothing is wanting that should enable an intelligent man, even if devoid of any scientific training, to escape malaria, even where it is most virulently endemic. The writer's wide experience, and the important share which he has taken in building up our knowledge of the disease and its propagation, are a sufficient guarantee of the accuracy of his information and of the practical value of his rules for guidance. There is a consensus of practical experience that, by attention to the rules here set forth, a man may safely pass through countries where malaria of the most dangerous type prevails. We recommend the book heartily to all who have occasion to sojourn in such lands.
