the female mosquito transmits tt
disease, and to be on the safe si'
when he comes ''cOusinlng' arou1
it would be a precaution to ascerta

or boomers, and of what type
fever he represented: the yellow Oh
type. the c~ongestive chill, or the c
fashioned ''chills and fevers," up
which many of our forefathers we

ency in carrying his grip full
germs of malaria will no doubt bri
him more in disrepute than anythi
that could have happened to hi
and causes us to have less resp
for him than we have had here
fore.
