would be subserved by the screening of all barracks and quarters in coun- 

 tries wliere malaria and dengue are prevalent. 



Medicinal.- — Our cases did not receive treatment except in a few in- 

 stances and for special symptoms, as we wished to obtain a picture of the 

 unaltered disease. To judge from our observations on these untreated 

 cases we think that other than symptomatic treatment, to promote the 

 patient's comfort, is not called for. 



Cold bathing, sponging, and the use of ice-caps are advisable to keep 

 the temperature within bounds; for the pain and nervous symptoms, 

 opium and bromides would probably be safer routine measures than the 

 use of the coal-tar products; because, first, in this disease they are more 

 effective, and, second, they would be less apt to harm an already disturbed 

 heart. 



VII. CONCLUSION. 



In concluding our report we desire to express our appreciation of the 

 encouragement and aid rendered us by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, com- 

 manding the Philippines Division, without which it would have been 

 impossible for us to have made these researches. We also desire to 

 thank Dr. E. P. Strong, the Director of the Biological Laboratory of 

 the Bureau of Science, for the use of apparatus, and Mr. Charles S. 

 Banks, Entomologist of the Biological Laboratory, Bureau of Science, 

 who rendered us assistance in the identification of mosquitoes.
