Disease In tn. Dutch Navy.

Uncle Sans sailors in Philippine wa
tiers seem to have been particularly for
tunate in escaping for the most part the
diseases which prey upon sailors OF
other navies in tropical waters. In
the marine service in Holland in 1897
there were admitted to the hospitals
20.904 malarial cases in an average
strength of 50,167. The record for that
year was unusual, the average for the
four preceding years having been only
5000. In 1897 cholera caused 161 Sd-
missions to the hospitals. with /lod
deaths among the Europeans.
