    disease, and liow to combat it when it is unavoidable. It is not the last word on the subject : men may adopt his remedies and follow his suggestions and yet be vanquished by the African climate. But this manual is, I believe, a step in advance of the few pre-existing works on African Hygiene—mostly written by medical men whose experience of Tropical Africa was much less than that of Dr. Cross. I therefore recommend all Europeans about to settle in Tropical Africa, to read Dr. Cross’s manual, and follow as closely as may be the advice therein given—advice with which I wholly concur. H. H.
