The Geography of Disease

Abstract

THE present writer had occasion recently to endeavour to ascertain, from the literature available in London, the distribution of a particular tropical disease. After spending several months on the work, the conclusion left on his mind was that the task was impossible in London alone, and that similar work in continental libraries would have to be undertaken before an accurate idea could be obtained. There is another method possible in the study of distribution, viz. personal investigation in various countries into the occurrence of a particular disease. The difficulties in the way of this method are perhaps not so great as one would think.
