Extract

In no part of India, perhaps, are ampler opportunities available for the study of tropical diseases than in the Presidency of Madras. This will be borne out by the fact that quite recently the interesting discovery was made in the Madras Veterinary College Hospital of the existence in these parts of two distinct parasites, causing the protozoal biliary fever among horses. I propose in the course of this article to chronicle the details of my observations with regard to this discovery, feeling sure that they will be read by all Veterinarians with interest, though they may probably arouse a feeling of melancholy among lovers of horse flesh. There is no disguising the fact, that through lack of facilities for prosecuting the study of tropical diseases in Madras the Veterinary Profession has been greatly handicapped. It is therefore with no little satisfaction that we hail the announcement made by Sir Harold Stuart, member of the Executive Council of the Government, at a recent public function in Madras, that at no distant date there would be a fully equipped School of Tropical Medicine in the City.
