Excerpt from Malaria: What It Means and How Avoided

Of all preventable diseases, of all human suffering that can be avoided by a little general knowledge, the myriads of symptoms ascribed to malaria stand pre-eminently high. Of all affections about which public misapprehension is very great, malaria is entitled to the highest rank. Of all unsatisfactory terms, this title of malaria is by far the most unsatisfactory. Whenever a person feels out of sorts, biliousness or malaria receives the blame. This term is made the shield by many incompetent physicians, to hide their want of penetration in diagnosis, and is accepted by the patient as the true cause of all his suffering.
