Excerpt from Climate and Health in Hot Countries and the Outlines of Tropical Climatology: A Popular Treatise on Personal Hygiene in the Hotter Parts of the World, and on the Climates That Will Be Met With Within Them A hundred years ago a prolonged residence in the Tropics was regarded with well-founded horror.
