Abstract

must have some prompt way of knowing where malaria occurs and under what conditions. Every case of malaria is serious enough to demand treatment by the practising physician. Over vast areas of sparse population, malaria is serious. It is up to the public health profession and the medical profession to coordinate their efforts so that some competent worker, either visiting nurse or medical social worker, comes into contact with the malaria infected person. The malarious sections of the rural districts need, not so much of " white house " conferences, perhaps, but more "log-cabin conferences." None of us at this meeting would hesitate to live in a malarious community. We are informed; we would screen our abodes, guard against mosquito bites, drain where practicable, treat cases if they occurred, eat nourishing food, etc. But do you know the cracker," the Southern tenant?
