p. 66 · Read in the full issue

rE Director of Public Health, in New Guinea, Dr. Gunther, has announced that there probably will be sufficient paludrine available for supplies to be issued to all members of the administra tive service in New Guinea, commencing early next year.

Paludrine (which is referred to else where) comes close to being the ideal anti-malarial drug. It kills the “bug,” if it is already in the system; two tablets per week are an effective preventive; and it produces no unpleasant after-effects.
