A name that will live in history
in connection with medical research
is that Of Sir Ronald Ross, whose
many honGrs have Just been added to
by the Paris Academy Of Medicine
in e1ecting him a5foreign associate.
While out in India in 1894, Sir Ron
aid, chen q surgeon-major in the
British army, began research work in
malaria. He. set out to find which
Of the 500 species. Of mosquito was
responsible for the spreading Of the
dread disease. He continued his
work for over two years, and then,
instead of being sheartened by the
Jack OF interest shown hy8the authori-
ties, resigned from the: army so that
he could carry on his investigations
unhampered. Finally, success came
in 1899, when, working on discov.
cry he had, made some time before,
he found that two kinds Of mosQut.
toes carried the germs, and that t;ta re-
duce malaria all that had to be done
was, to prevent the pests breeding Ia
marshes and pools. As 4 result ,oi
his advice, the Suez Canal company
completely Cleared the town of lsr,,a,-
liza Of malaria. Z
