§ SIR MANCHERJEE BHOWNAGGREE (Bethnal Green, N.E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if he is aware that the efforts of the Mexican Government and the Superior Board of Health at Mexico to stamp out yellow fever and all malarial diseases by exterminating the mosquito by the adoption of certain scientific methods have met with considerable success; and whether, having regard to the fact that malarial fevers are constantly prevailing in parts of India, he will cause inquiries to be made in connection with the Mexico 1120 experiment with the object of giving it a trial in India.
§ MR. BRODRICKI have seen a pamphlet on the subject by the Superior Board of Health at Mexico; and propose to send a copy of it to the Government of India. Experiments of a somewhat similar kind have for some time past been in progress in India, and the experts conducting them are doubtless aware of what is being done in the same direction in other parts of the world.
