The awakening of the general public to the necessity and 

 possibility of the control of Malaria, indicated by the incessant 

 demand for information, makes the publication of Professor 

 Herms's concise treatment of the subject an important and 

 timely event. The question of Malaria control is deserving of 

 the most careful attention, particularly in these days when so 

 much is heard of the " back to the soil " movement. For malaria 

 is notably a disease of rural districts. Those who are familiar 

 with the situation know very well that malaria is too often 

 responsible for farm desertion. Professor Herms writes of the 

 conditions attending the disease as he has found and studied 

 them during the past few years himself, and the suggestions for 

 control which he makes are such as he applied with success. 



The book contains many illustrations that show in an interest- 

 ing fashion the methods of prevention. 



"Nowhere have we found in a single volume so practical a 

 description of the different phases of the malarian protozoon, 

 the anatomy of the mosquito and the distinctive characters of 

 the different groups of the mosquito family." 



Chicago Evening Post.

"The book is well illustrated, the pictures of mosquitoes and 

 of various methods of combating the mosquito being particularly 

 illuminating." Philadelphia North American.
