mi. b, a Guerrero et al.: Treatment of Yaws 197 



Framboesia is one of the common diseases in the Philippine 

 Islands and is widely distributed. It is impossible to estimate 

 the extent of infection, but it is undoubtedly of considerable 

 importance. The establishment of ambulatory or provisional 

 hospitals in the larger infested districts for the adequate ad- 

 ministration of salvarsan would be the ideal method of sup- 

 pressing this disease. This being impossible under present 

 conditions, the general use of Castellani's treatment, under suit- 

 able administration, offers a practicable means of combating the 

 disease. 



We desire to express our gratitude to Doctors Calderon, Lan- 

 tin, and Reyes and to Messrs. Hallare and Fernandez for co- 

 operation that made this work possible.
