As the author states in his preface, one of the chief aims of 

 the book is to make a presentation of the subject especially 

 useful to the general practitioner in malarious regions. In this 

 he has succeeded. A large proportion of the work is given to 

 the subjects of the pathology, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treat- 

 ment of the disease. The illustrations are reproduced from 

 photographs, microphotographs, and drawings.

In this edition of Tropical Diseases much new material is

 of the volume, 12 by 18.5 centimeters, makes it convenient for 

 one who is unable to carry larger reference books with him.

The book springs from a desire in some measure to overcome 

 the ignorance which, in too many instances, keeps innocent vic- 

 tims from protecting themselves and their offspring from disease 

 and degeneracy. The problem is vital. It is first an individual, 

 then a race problem. The question, "what of me and my family,"
