MOSQUITO HOUSE, For use whilst Reading, Writing, taking Refreshment, &.c. Extract from Letter ^iC©, 58/- from Major Ross, per Sierra Leone, 20th August, 1901. “To judge of the “ value of these “operations against “ culex, people must “remember that “besides causing “constant annoy- “ ance to everyone, “they carry the “germs of Yellow “ Fever, Elephanti- “asis, and, perhaps, “other diseases.. *' I can now com- “mit myself to say “with confidence, “that in nine cases . . .. . “out of ten, if a man contracts Malarial infection, it is his own fault. A he “scrupulous use of the Mosquito Net, attention to domestic cleanliness, “exercise, temperance, and an occasional strong dose of quinine, are the things “principally required.—Vide “ Liverpool Mercury, 6th September, 1901.
