Excerpt from An Epitome of the Reports of the Medical Officers to the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs Service, From 1871 to 1882: With Chapters on the History of Medicine in China; Materia Medica; Epidemics; Famine; Ethnology; And Chronology in Relation to Medicine and Public Health It is impossible to go minutely through the Reports in question without arriving at the conclusion that in many respects details contained in them do not support theories which for the time being occupy a good deal of professional attention in England in regard to the etiology of what are called zymotic diseases, '-ou the contrary, they are in direct opposition to some at least of those theories. This is a point of view the importance of which is manifest alike in its bearings on the causation of the very large class of diseases so designated, and, most important of all, in the treatment of persons suffering from those diseases. In this connection the original Observations of Dr. Manson on the apparent connection between the occurrence of intermittent fever and the presence in the blood of the Filaria sanguinis hominis, are specially worthy of note. His studies of the life-history of this malaria presents some very remarkable features and are of the highest interest.
