Extract

Although it may be objected that the present paper deals with a limited population in a circumscribed area, the conclusions drawn are in the main applicable to any zone of endemic Bilharzial infestation. The numbers examined form a considerable series, and the distribution and age and seasonal incidence of the contrasting infections are of some interest. A personal relation with those infected has been, and still is, maintained.
