troversy is to emphasize a fact that is not full established in the
Science of Medicine by all of the most competent authorities: That
an infection of malaria, however trivial in appearance, cannot be pro-
nounced cured or eradicated until after about six weeks when the mic-
roscipe shows the blood to be free of malarial parasites.
Such knowledge is impossible with the present status of
Microscopical woek in our/laboratories. To prove that it is entirely
unreliable I submit the following comparative reports as to 15 cases
of Malarial Infection in which I have Stained Blood Smears with indi-
vidual records: <Handwritten [illegible] - this means malaria not found + this means malaria found >
