Abstract
FEW if any subjects bearing on the prosperity of tropical lands can be of greater importance than the effective control of those tropical diseases which have often proved barriers, sometimes insuperable, to their development. This will readily be admitted with reference to the colonisation of such lands by white men, but it is of at least equal importance for the welfare of the indigenous races the progress of which towards a higher civilisation is most intimately bound up with an increased immunity from disease and a higher standard of hygienic environment.
