Malaria: its Investigation and Control; with special reference to Indian Conditions

Abstract

WHEN the professor of zoology in the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, and a worker in the Central Malaria Bureau of the Government of India with previous wide field experience in Ceylon and India, collaborate in a monograph on the investigation and control of malaria intended for men of the Indian assistant-surgeon class, its scientific and practical hygienic value are assured; when they dedicate it with respectful homage to the wives of research workers, in recognition of their sufferings in the cause of science, the illumination of humour helps perspective; and when they permit in the book the issue of advertisements of material pertinent to the subject, they perhaps but follow closely in the footsteps of the School's distinguished founder, for it was he who persuaded the merchants of Calcutta to contribute so liberally, and, so far as they were concerned, so unexpectedly, to its finances that they assured him that his missed vocation was that of company promoter.
