The REPORTER this week contains
another article on Glow does malaria
enter the human system?" We are
glad that the previous article was SO
widely read. 1t is important that the
public should be enlightened on such
an essential question. We propose TO
stick TO the original question that q bad
water" is not the cause of malarial
fever. We wish TO treat it systemati-
cally and if the editor of the Enter
prise will patiently wait we hope the
acknowledged remedies in treating this
disease will be in due time announced
to him. If this weeks article does not
convince that ''bad water" is not the
cause of malaria, we fear that such is
beyond the pale of help. Read and
reflect.
