Dark Skins and Malaria.

In a recent issue of daily paper
We find il stated on the anonymous
authority of a we'll known London
doctor that blackness Of the skin,
however produced. protects against
malaria. and 1t is said that If YOU
are going to country where malaria
is rife stain yourself all over with
walnut Juice. or black yourself with
burnt cork and you will be less liable
to catch the disease"
And the explanation is given that
the browning Of the skin prevents
the actinic rays of sunlight penetrat-
ing the skin and so helping the malar-
ial parasite to mature: and therefore
We are told IF white men had arti-
ficially colored skins or even wore
black undertaking they would be in
the same position as the natives-prG
tected to certain extent against the
malarial parasite maturing"
We should he interested To know on
what facts the well known London
doctor" bases his statement. II is
true that on the whole. the colored
races suffer less severely from ma
laria shan the white races, but We are
not aware of any evidence which even
suggests that this is due to the color
of the skin. Of course ii IS possible
that the staining Of the skin with
walnut juice or burnt cork may have
4 deterrent effect on the mosquito
and SO prevent the incubation of the
parasite. but this. We should imagine.

nifty of the savage races is probably
