CARTER From the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine Undertaken at the request of the War Office (Receztved for publication 12 February, 1918) The primary object of this analysis is to determine the shortest period after cessation of treatment for which it 1s necessary to keep under observation a case of simple tertian malaria, so that the probability of a relapse occurring after discharge from hospital is reasonably small. With this in view, we have analysed the time incidence of relapses in four hundred and five cases treated by us in various ways as recorded in previous papers. Almost all these cases were adult males infected in Macedonia six to twelve months previously, and all had had more or. less quinine during that period. We consider parasitic relapses only, as we know nothing of the nature of febrile paroxysms unassociated with parasites in the peripheral blood. The data on which this paper is based are given in Tables I to III. Tables I and II contain the results of those treatments where quinine was administered either on a single occasion or on two](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b33448553_0003.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
