"No one seems really to know the
cause of the South Sea elephantiasis.
One theory is that it is caused by the
drinking of polluted water. Another
theory attributes it to incubation
through mosquito bites. A third
theory charges it to predisposition
plus the process of acclimatization.
On the other hand, no one that stands
in finicky dread of it and similar dis
eases can afford to travel in the
South Seas. There will be occasions
when such one must drink water;
There may also be occasions when the
mosquitoes let up biting. But every
precaution of the finicky one will be
useless. If he runs barefoot across
the beach to take swim he will
tread where an elephantiasis case
trod a few minutes before. If he
