28 jStoetii Carolina Health Almanac. About Malaria. preferably concrete^ extending at ; least eighteen inches above the sur- : face of the ground and six or eight ; feet below the surface. I Do away with the bucket and chain and put in a pump. : something about typhoid fever | that always calls for i explanation. | To-witj two or more cases occur- ! ring in the same family or household with two to four weeks elapsing between the onset of the cases. Such an occurrence always raises one of two questions: was the original source of the disease properly sought out by the attending physician and blocked, or has he (the physician) allowed the original cause of the disease to claim a second unnecessary victim? Was the secondary case due to contact infection through careless nursing, and, if so, was the nurse to blame for not obeying instructions as to disinfection of hands, or were the instructions insufficient or not explicit? the essentials that you should know. There are just two factors responsible for malaria: (1), A particular variety of mosquito, and (2) a person with the malarial germs or seeds in their body. The person with the malarial seed or germ may be apparently well—a malaria carrier. jSTeither of these factors alone can produce a case of malaria. One might live indefinitely with hundreds of malarial mosquitoes about him and never have malaria; or, one might live indefinitely in a malaria hospital where the wards were crowded with the victims of the disease and never contract it. Every case of malaria is the result of a malarial mosquito biting a person who has the malarial germs in his body and then biting a second person Avho is well, inoculating him with the germs carried from the first person bitten. The prevention of malaria depends upon the elimination of one of the two factors concerned in the causation of the disease. To get rid of the mosquito factor it is necessary to remove or drain all pools, bottles, buckets, cups, cans, or gutters of stagnant water that are not separated from the residence by at least two hundred yards of space in which there is no woods, undergrow^th, cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco, or other vegetation that would break a current of wind. The malarial mosquito has very weak wings and cannot fly a distance of two hundred yards without protection against currents of wind by some kind of vegetation. If stagnant water cannot be removed it should be oiled every week with one ounce of kerosene oil to every ten square feet of surface. If there is much vegetation in the water, oiling will be of little value. Where standing water is necessary and the use made of it is such that it would be interfered with by the use of oil, the water may be stocked with fish, and the edges, if it is a pool, made perpendicular for a depth of two or three inches, so that the fish can get out to the extreme edge of the water where the mosquito eggs are usually laid. To get rid of the other factor, the person with the malarial seeds in his body, the malaria reservoir or carrier, it is necessary that every person who suffers from chills and fever, ague, or malaria should have impressed upon him, not only for
