Extract

In the following pages an attempt has been made to give a short summary of our knowledge of the Relapsing Fever of Tropical Africa, and also to include the results of my own experiments and observations on this disease. The literature on the subject is already somewhat considerable and widely scattered, therefore no apology is needed for bringing it together.
