King Daniel Nolan John H. Corbet t . J. 0. Hammond ' K. U. Wilson Every Accommodation Consistent with Careful Banking The Story of Malaria, ns told by1 Major Ronald Ross, F. R. S., first to an audience ot the Royal Colonial Institute of Great Britain, and later In the pages of the National Review, Is full of most Interesting facts that are apt to pass' the memory, unless recalled from time to time. Our present knowledge, as he reminds us. Is the result of more than two thousand years of patient study, and It forms what might be called a gi gantic epic of science. It tells of a long and hard-fought battle between man and nature, and It Is only to-day that we even begin to see the promise of victory. It we go back to the writings ot Hippocrates and his successors, some 400 years B. C, we learn that the Greeks and Romans were then study ing the character of malaria, and had distinguished Its class by two im portant points; the first was that malarial fevers are not continuous In type, but occur In periodical attacks, and these attacks they classified' as quotidian, tertian, and quartan; that Is, occurring every day, every alter nate day and every third day. Al though we now understand that at tacks may, by overlapping, present the appearance of a continuous fever, this does not contradict the ancient classification. The second pol,t found out by them, and attested by succeed ing experience, is that there is direct connection between marshes and swampy pools or soil and the preval ence of this kind ot disease. They even went so far as to point to a probability ot the disease being dis seminated by a species of germ or microbe to living man, thus approach ing remarkably near to our nlne-r-nth century "discoveries!" In ueed, we seem not to have disproved any of the theories of the ancients, but rather to have enlarged upon them, added, to their number, and established' their certainty. After 'the ancients a very long time after ward the next step forward was taken in South America. To a vil lager ot Malacotos, In Ecuador, we owe the discovery of tho efficiency of Peruvian bark as a cure for malarial fever or as we should more correct ly term It, an antidote. This became known in Europe about 1640, and acquired fame after It had been used to alleviate the agues of Louis XIV. In 1820 two French chemists sep arated from Peruvian bark' its essen tial alkaloid, quinine. Still, after the lapse of two and a halt centuries, the bark or its alkaloid are the ac cepted specifics against malarial fe vers. By experimenting witn tne use of these drugs, it was found possible to separate with greater precision the different types of fever and determine the periods of attack. To the story of malaria another chapter was soon after this contrib uted by the British military and naval surgeons, at a time when British ships were exploiting all waters. These found malarial fever to be com mon in all tropical and gub-troplcal countries that it was an enemy like ly to be encountered almost any where. They added their affirmation to the theory that soil as well as water held the fever poison. About the middle of last century, however, when biology became a favorite study and the' microscope a more perfected instrument,, the granules of what is now called malarial pigment were found in the blood, and these pigment granules were found to be the re fuse matter of innumerable little parasites, which, living within the blood, caused disease. Almost at the same time that this discovery was made, Pasteur, Koch, Lister and oth ers were discovering that bacteria were the cause ot anthrax, tubercu losis, cholera, typhoid and leprosy. The two great discoveries mark to gether an epoch in history. The es sential difference between them, briefly stated, is that malarial germs are protozoa, or the lowest form of animal life, while the bacteria repre sent the lowest form ot vegetable life. By close study of the processes fol lowed by the parasites of malaria, It was found that their capacity to re produce themselves was almost un ending, but that it kept to the order of successive generations; and just as all the stalks of corn in a field which was sown at one time reach maturity together, so did the mem bers of the same generation of ma laria parasites. The shell of the blood corpuscle which has held the erowine parasite bursts when It reaches maturity, and allows Its spores to fall into the fluid ot the blood, and these again fasten them selves on other corpuscles and begin to germinate in their turn. Millions of parasites will liberate their spores at the same 'time, and it will be pre cisely at this time that the patient will be attacked with the ague fit, followed by fever. As some ot the spores take seventy-tw hours, to reach full development, the next at tack of fever will not take place until the third day; aa another type devel ops within torty-elght hours, the at tacks occur every other day; and those which sporulate every twenty four hours produce the quotidian fe ver. It Is possible, though perhaps riot usual, for one patient to harbor all three varieties at one and the same time. At the time that the malarial para sites scatter their spores in the blood, the patient is seized with chill, nau sea, shivering and fever; very soon, however, the wonderful antitoxic mechanism ot the body begins to assert itself, the poison Is acted upon, neutralized, and in a large measure eliminated by the sweating which en sues, and the patient is relieved. But another generation is developing meanwhile, and when it reaches ma turity another attack Is caused, and not until their power of reproduction is weakened, and finally overcome, will .recovery be permanent. Even then, undue fatigue, chill or great heat may cause a relapse by favoring the parasites and their development. The battle must be incessantly waged between the conflicting parties, poison on the one hand, anti-toxin on the other. A startling discovery, made in quite recent times, is that native children in tropical countries, although apparently healthy, often carry these parasites almost constant ly in their blood. As the children reach maturity, if they have not suc cumbed to the poison before then, this early inoculation seems to pro cure them immunity as adults, fot very tew adult natives are subject to malarial fevers in the way that Eu ropeans are. While they are young, however, the disease decimates them in large numbers. The next chapter in the story of malaria had to reveal where these protozoan parasites live in external nature, and how and by what agency they effect their entrance into the human body. The older theories as sumed that stagnant witter made a home for them, and that they were inhaled in the mists and vapors which rose from the marsh, and pos sibly by the drinking-of foul water. But experiments made in trying to develop the parasites from stagnant water failed to give the supposed re sults. Then the mosquito theory, existent and in vogue for some cen turies, was revived, and trials which were made, Independently of each other, added Btrength to the belief that Infection came from the bites ot the Insect. In 1894 Major Hobs was told by Dr. Manson (now Sir Patrick Manson) of his- own thoory coniera lng the ability of parasites to trans fer themselves from one species of animal to another, and he commenced to make critical examination for him self. When, after two and a halt years of experimenting, he was on the point of giving up In despair, he was startled on examining a now species of mosquito to discover in its tissues the very bodies he was in search of. Before he could .obtain formal proof his researches were in terfered with by his being ordered to a place where there were little or no malaria. The following year th9 Government of India placed him on special duty for the continuance ol his study, and then In a tew months he was able to establish bis conclu sions, which were to tho effect that when mosquitoes of a particular spe cies suck the blood of Infected men, animals or birds, they draw in with It the parasites of malaria, and these, living and growing in them, produce spores which find their way down the proboscis into the blood of their next victim, infecting him. Thus the mos quito takes the parasite from one in fected porson,and after a week or more conveys it into the blood ot another, probably quite healthy, in dividual. After this discovery had been made public, schools of tropical medicine and societies took it up, books and pamphlets innumerable were written upon the subject, and healthy persons volunteered themselves to to be act ed upon by the experimentalists, so 1;he new study was prosecuted with all vigor. One ot the things it is most curious to note is that the re sults of all this combined working merely developed and added to the conjectures and theories of the an cients. For example, the mosquitoes which carry human malaria belong to a species called tho Anophellnes, which breed mostly in terrestrial wa ters, that is, in marshes, which ex plains the connection between marshes and malalal fever. But it is not the parasite causing the fever which lives and breeds in the marsh, but the gnat or mosquito which is the carrier of the parasitic poison. Where appropriate marshes exist, these in sects abound and Infect everyone within their reach by Inoculating them with the poison they carry from one to the other. It Is argued that mosquitoes also exist and abound where there is no .malaria, and this is true, the difference being that they are not Anophellne mosquitoes. Hap pily tor us, tho Anophellne is a com paratively rare kind. The remedr which Major Ross ad vocates most strongly is tbe tracking and dralnaga of waters and swamps which favor the breeding of the ma laria type; to carry out sanitation in this way is not merely to get rid of the mosquito Itself, but of pests of flies and other insects. His plans are now being Included In all the schemes of tropical sanita tion, and with the Improvement in land, air and water, cleanliness and better housing come as a natural re sult, so that the local authority fol- lowaiuard upon 'the heels pi tne im perlal officer, and the efforts o.- both are fast making habitable for man the long untenanted regions ot the globe, giving him, in fine, through the destrucUon of unwholesome con ditions, the elft of a new world.
