Mr. T. MORRISasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his medical advisers recommend the use of atebrin as a prophylactic against malaria; and whether, in that case, the medical stores of ships trading in the tropics carry supplies of this drug?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe medical advisers of my Department are in close touch with research which is being made into the use of atebrin and other synthetic remedies intended for prophylactic use against malaria, but at the present stage they are not prepared to recommend such remedies for compulsory inclusion in ships' medical stores.
