Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Malaria at Home and Abroad For some months in 1917 and 1918, under arrangements made by the War Office and the Local Government Board, I held a series of practical classes on malaria, which were attended by Officers of the Royal Army Medical Corps and by civilian Medical Officers of Health. The authorities of the London School of Tropical Medicine courteously provided accommodation and facilities for laboratory work, and Sir Patrick Manson, Colonel Alcock, Dr. Daniels and Dr Leiper generously gave me their personal assistance, which ensured the success of each course of lectures and demonstrations. At the conclusion of the series I summarised the subject-matter of my demonstrations in an article entitled "Practical points in the study of malaria and its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention," which was published by the Local Government Board in No. 119 of their Public Health Reports. The present book is a fuller account of the subjects reviewed in that article, and is intended to be an elementary guide to medical men and administrators who may have to deal with malaria at home or abroad during peace or war. Readers will note that, in addition to recording the results of my own experience, I have utilised to a considerable extent the writings of other workers in the Indian Medical Service, particularly those of my friend Major S. R. Christophers, whose reputation as an expert malariologist is world-wide. If in any instance I have inadvertently omitted to state the source of the information recorded, I hope that the workers concerned will regard this reference as an acknowledgment of my indebtedness. After the proofs had been passed for printing, I asked Sir Patrick Manson if he would write a "foreword" to speed the book on its mission. He permits me to give the following extract from his reply: "I have kept your book long, but it is a big affair which does not admit of skipping. I have read it from alpha to omega, and can conscientiously say that it is a fine performance which is bound to do an immense amount of good. The book requires no foreword from me or anyone else: it speaks for itself." I know no man so "benigne" as Sir Patrick.
