GET READY TO
PREVENT MALARIA.
It is worth while lo begin get-
ting ready to escape malaria and
its attendant discomforts next sum-
mer. There are three kinds of par-
asites that cause malarial fever.
These parasites J on t|,e red
blood-cells. They develop in the
female mos<|Uiii>, ,lnd hj her are
injected into the blood of the per-
son she bites. Three things are
necessary for t he spread of malaria ■
1—persons with malarial parasites
m their blood: 2—mosquitoes to
bite such persons and suck the
blood of such persons; and 3
healthy persons into whom the
mosquito may inject the malarial
parasite by biting The breeding
place of such mosquito.es should be
destroyed. Well persons should be
protected h> screening houses.
Malarial persons should be treated
by a physician until the parasites
have been removed from the blood.
In summer, when mosquitoes are
actively breeding, well persons may
be protected against malaria by the
use of quinine. A preventive dose
is eight grains for an adult twice a
week or every iiv • davs. The best
way is to exterminate the mosqui-
toes.
