Abstract

Malaria may be entirely eliminated and in time become an unknown disease. But to achieve this desired end soon, calls for unprecedented co-operation extended over a very large territory, and it would require vigorous anti-malarial work for many years. The cost of such work will be very heavy, however, an investment as great, if not greater, than the Panama Canal. The lives and time saved by such eradication, and the increase in energy and longevity which would follow, expressed in dollars and health, would soon repay with interest all that had been spent. A campaign such as this could, with very little additional cost, eliminate a few of the other insect-born tropical diseases.
