224 AP1>ENDIX. number of distilleries here, and I would like to have the l>oard tell us whether alcohol used moderately or immoderately will put the system into a condition that makes it easy to take malaria or not." C' Dr. Battle: "There was a very interesting experiment tried in India some years ago. A regiment of soldiers going through the same cam})aign was divided into four companies, with a view to telling the effect of the grog ration upon the system; not only grog, but with a view to telling how coffee and tea and water affected the human system. One part of the regiment was put on pure water ; a second was put on tea; a third on coffee, and a fourth was put on an alcohol ration. It was not a very fair experiment in some respects, as India is such a very unhealthy country, but the water quarter came out last; the tea people came out first;' tlie coffee people came out second, and the alcohol }>eople came out third. That is to say, tea gave the best results, coffee gave the second best, alcohol gave the third best, and water gave the poorest results. There is little doubt in mv mind that a moderate amount of coffee and a moderate amount of tea and a moderate amount of alcohol does tend to })rotect the system against malarial poison. Of course the trouble is in putting on the brakes. The people in the tropics who take their coffee in the morning are less liable to take the malaria than those who just use the water. If we keep the veins full of good stimulant we are less liable to open wide the door to any malaria. Well, that aboitt answers the question so far as I know." Dr. I)ahnson : "The question is asked whether it is possible to take malaria from ice gathered from ponds where malaria exists. It is not only possible, but it is certain." Gentleman in the audience: "A day or two ago I saw something in the paper that was very amazing to me : that water after standing several hours Avas more wholesome
