RESULTS OF CAMPAIGN 205 



In order to direct the operations of the campaign 

 in British Africa, a National Bureau has been estabhshed 

 in London, and at these headquarters regular monthly 

 reports are issued and reports collected from all 

 sleeping sickness districts, maps are made and issued 

 showing the progress of the disease and the districts 

 of the fly. The Bureau, which has been established 

 under the auspices of the Colonial Office, has already 

 done excellent service, and the system might well be 

 copied in the case of the other tropical diseases. 



Although it is early yet to speak of the results 

 of the anti-sleeping sickness measures, there is no 

 question that much good work has been already done 

 and very many lives saved ; they serve as indications 

 of what can be done. The following Report received 

 from the Governor of Uganda shows clearly that 

 improvement is taking place :

IN UGANDA 



(From Manchester Guardian, June 2o, 1909) 



The Governor of Uganda in his Report for 1907-8 

 to the Earl of Crewe (Secretary for the Colonies) is 

 able to report that the measures taken during the 

 past three years to stamp out sleeping sickness are 

 proving effectual. During 1907 the deaths in the 

 Kingdom of Buganda numbered less than 4,000, and 

 in 1908 they fell to 1,700. It is beheved (the Governor 

 says) that for the whole Protectorate the deaths 

 during the past twelve years have not exceeded 2,500
