The most prevalent disease in North Carolina, certainly from now until frost, is malarial fever in one form or another. It is by no means confined to the low-lying Eastern section of the State, but is quite abundant in many localities in the hill country, having l)een reported even from Cherokee. By recent scientific investigations the cause of the fever has been shown to be a microscopic animal known as the plasHio^IiHm malarire or hcm-iuncvha virax. which feeds ui»on the red corpuscles of the l^lood—hence the pallor of persons suffering from chronic malaria. The development of this little parasite in the blood is as follows: One of the spores, or baby germs, so to speak, enters a red corpuscle and, feeding on its contents, grows until at the end of twenty-four hours it has l)ecome nearly as large as the corpuscle. It then, by a process known as segmentation, splits up into a dozen or more littlr^ spores again, which for a short time are free in the blood and unattached to the corpuscles. It is just as the segmentation occurs that the chill comes on, which explains the im-iodic recurrence of the chill every twenty-four hours, and as it has been found that quinine is most effective in killing the germs while they are free in the blood and not buried in the substance of the corpuscles, the best time to give quinine is just before the chill is expected.
