these women had never left the place, and it was found that their 
husbands were all either suffering- from sleeping sickness or had died 
of that disease, Koch brings forth his own explanation: that 
trypanosomes may be transmitted by coitus. 
Koch quotes a further case, where three women were all infec ted 
with trypanosomes from one man. 
Koch states that early cases of trypanosomiasis can be definitely 
cured by Atoxyl by a six months’ treatment ; in f.ar advanced cases 
it is very difficult to drive out the parasites. 
Broden, in a paper entitled ' Les Trypanosomes dans I’Etat du 
Congo (Rapport sur les traveaux du laboratoire medicale de 
Leopoldville de 1900 a 1905, II, Bruxelles, Hayem, 1906. p. 71-143). 
used Atoxyl in the treatment of one case of trypanosomiasis with 
very encouraging results. 
*.4- Lraicement ae la trypano.somiase 
humaine (Maladie du Sommeil) ’ (Archiv fiir Schiffs und Tropen- 
hygiene, Band X, 1906, p. 693), treated cases of trypanosomiasis 
(three white men) with Atoxyl. Fever disappeared in all three and 
their general heath improved. 
Van Campenhout starts witli 0-2 gramme of Atoxyl. and 
increases his doses 0-05 gramme every second day till he reaches 
0*8 gramme. This does is given every second day for a fortnight or 
ree weeks, and then he decreases his doses gradually o'o, gramme. 
Mesnh'n! second period he uses strychnine and cold baths.
