    continuous quinine treatment, yet we have no proof that these pseudo-relapses are due to the disease. Some of the relapses during quinine treatment recorded by Caccini may possibly correspond to the 17 per cent. of incidental rises of temperature found in cases not malarial, during treatment in hospital. We therefore think that accurate enumerative observations are needed before the possibility of such relapses, and of cases resistant to quinine, can be fully accepted.
