Dr. Clark states regarding these figures-
" The rapid fall in the number of deaths from malaria within the city during
the second quinquennium is most gratifying, for it is naturally here that most of the
anti-mosquito work has been carried out. . . ."

un pays," gives the following figures as the recorded mortality from malaria at Rio de
