Man has forged for himself weapons which have become better and better, more and more to be feared. None of the monsters from the world of By drainage of the great marshy arcas, by regulation of the flow of the rivers, by sprinkling the smaller collections of stagnant water with Petroleum, and by many other measures mankind has deprived dis-ase-carriers of their basis of development. All this labour, however, with its enormous consumption of material, while diminishing the intensity of the disease could never completely abolish it, for the dangerous anopheles mosquitoes are able to develop in any pool, however small. In fact even collections of rain water in old food tins, or in hollows of trees, may suffice for their purpose.
The other way is to destroy the parasites in the human blood itself. This way is now open for the first time, since in "Atebrin"—elaborated in the well-known "Bayer" Laboratories a few years ago—a reliable drug was found which so completely destroys the parasites that in the first place the attacks can be cured by a brief course of treatment lasting 5-7 days without the frequent recurrences which were usually encountered previously, anc in the second place those who are still healthy can rely on being protected against attacks by taking regular weekly doses.
The advance in the treatment of malaria which the introduction of "Atebrin" signifies, and the superiority of "Atebrin" over previous methods of treatment have found renewed confirmation, on the basis of exhaustive comparative researches, in the Fourth Report of the League of Nations Malaria Commission, which appeared at the beginning of this year,
