my experience with malaria, outside
of the general symptoms Of enlarge
ment of the spleen and liver with diff
ferent curves caused by the number
of infections, they are all amenable
to practically the same treatment.
There are three distinct species
of the parasite, causing three distinct
types of malaria. First, the quartan;
second, the tertian, and, third, the
estivo-autumna1. The quartan para
site organism exists in the blood in
great groups, all members of which
are approximately at the same stage
of development, and pass through
their cycle nearly in unison. The cy-
Gle lasts exactly 70 hours. Sporula-
ton of the group of parasites, if it
has reached sufficient size, is always
associated with the paroxysm in the
infected individual. The immediate
cause of the malarial paroxysm is
thought to be the liberation of some
toxic substance, probably by the para
site at the time of speculation. -
