The Prevention of Malaria (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Prevention of Malaria<br><br>An historical introduction is always necessary to give coherence to ideas; and I have taken the opportunity to write as complete and accurate a one as my space and knowledge permit of. The summary of facts which follows (taken from my report on Mauritius) may be useful in propagandism; the experimental inoculations of men by means of blood drawn from patients or of infected Anophelines have been collected with care because of their fundamental importance in the modern theory of malaria;-and I trust that these three first chapters will suffice to convince the busy layman that this theory has been based upon something more than mere conjecture.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
