MOSQUITO BARS VS.. MALARIA.

New York Evening Post.

@N0N OAh IAhNiAAi 4 OEbs
Mosquito netting may have it's good uses
as a defense against both mosquitoes and
flies, but practicing physicians are not yet
willing, apparently, to turn TO IT as the sole
protection against malariai and yellow
fever, as a certain government sanitary
commission working in Cuba and the South
has strongly urged in a recent report. For
several years there has been great activity
In investigation into the cause and spread
of these diseases, and many modern in
vestigators now agree that mosquitoes and
not local climatic conditions are directly
responsible. But whatever the
gistS and psychologists and special in
vestigatOrs may say, medical men general
~ will not yet admit that malaria is con-
veyed exclusively by the bite of infected
mosquitoes. and that a radical change in
the measures used for its prevention and
treatment has become Immediately neces-
sary.
DR.. A. II. Doty. health officer at the quar-
antine station on Staten island, when asked
to-day what he thought of this view Of
MALARIA and its said that he
believed the medical experts of the army
We're on the right track in their fever in
veStigation. 81 believe the mosquito is a
very potent agent in the spread of malaria.
1t may be. as they report. the only source
of infection. but at present l do not feel
convinced that il is yet right TO abandon
all precautions in other directions. We
have for some time carefully protected
fever patients and suspects from danger
of mosquito bites by means of mosquito
netting and shall redouble our care to that
end. Otherwise. however, ve shall not ma
terially change Our regulations for the
present, but will await the result of further
experiments
Another physician who has had much ex-
perience with malarial fever patients is
DIR. Odea. chief of the medical staff of the
s. r. Smith infirmary on Staten island.
Like DR.. Doty. he was not inclined TO lay
undue stress upon the MOSQUITO theory.
because in some years when the fever was
prevalent on the island mosquitoes We're
almost unknown. Still he believed that
these insects under certain conditions do
often convey the germs to human beings.
and that for that reason every precaution
should be taken. This. he said. was the
course already pursued in the iniirmary.
This should interest those parts OF New
Jersey. Long island and the Bronx where
mosquitoes and malaria are pests.
One physician was met who took quite
readily 10 the new theory. He said: II
shall certainly act on 1t in al malaria
cases. As soon as l suspect that a patient
has the fever or .ts symptoms shall or
der him placed at once under netting with
very fine meshes and in a room carefully
screened at doors and windows. If he
actually has the disease this is 10 protect
mosquitoes from becoming inOcuiated with
the germ and spreading il to other persons.
If the patient is not suffering from malaria
the danger Of Infection is all the greater
and the precaution should be none the
