Description:‘As arranged with Dr. Bond of the Board of Control I visited the County Mental Asylum, Whittingham, on the 4th September. Dr. Clark very kindly met me and gave me every assistance in my enquiry. The conclusions which I have come to as a result of my visit are as follows:-
(1) In this hospital there is no risk that malaria will spread from inoculated patients to other inmates.
(2) In an experience of more than a year no patient who has been inoculated has suffered from a relapse of malaria. The experience is sufficient to justify the conclusion that the type of malaria inoculated is completely cured by the treatment given, and that a patient who might be discharged to his home after going through the course of treatment prescribed would not be liable to malarial relapses. Therefore his discharge would not involve any risk of the spread of malaria to his family.
On these conclusions I am of opinion that from the public health point of view the official notification of these cases under the Malaria Regulations is not necessary and may be dispensed with.’
