Just the same even with these laudable advances malaria is still with us and both poliomyelitis and tuberculosis are growing worldwide problems. As a holdover from my own medical school days I must confess to an affection for the older term of tropical medicine and its historic context in preference to the more popular present name which is the title of this book.
