MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.

For the benefit of those who must

ticularly on shipboard. we quote some
observations made by DR.. Given on the
British ship Cadmus.
In the summers Of 1911 and 1912 the
Calmus was in Chinese waters. % In

wholesale A half dracm or less was
poured in the palm Of the hand and
then anointed on the feet, ankles. hands
and face. This would secure Immunity
for four hours at least. and sometimes
for the entire night.
Perhaps a good method Of using cit
ro:.alla would be that suggested by
General Holmes. Pieces of guaze dip

well without mosquito bars. Oil of cit

bought wholesale. Ten pounds lasted
the entire ships crew throughout the
summer.

not an easy matter to cover a ham

Efforts to keep mosquitoes out of the
ship by placing wire screens over the
portholes, scuttles and ventilators were
worse than useless. The gauze kept
out some air, the mosquitoes got into
the cabins anyhow, and, having got

board were cleaned out. The bilge
water on hfeboats and rowboats were
found to be great breeding places.
