Abstract
THE Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine has just issued a most important and practical report upon the prevention of malaria in the tropics.1 Dr. Dutton, who conducted the expedition with conspicuous success, shows with striking clearness how a great deal of disease is due to the want of knowledge of the nature of malaria, and that during the dry season the residents are largely to blame for the appearance of the disease. It is one of the most hopeful reports ever issued by the school, and it shows that the governors and others in authority upon the coast are fully alive to the importance of stamping out malarial diseases. The report is an immense step forward in preventive medicine.
