  • Descrição: IN the House of Commons on Monday, Mr. Mallet asked the Secretary of State for War whether he was aware of the public service rendered by a commission of the Royal Society, at the request of the War Office and the Admiralty, in discovering the cause of Malta fever, from which many hundreds annually of our soldiers and sailors on that island until recently suffered; and whether, in view of the importance of this discovery in the annals of preventive medicine, inasmuch as at the present moment the disease had been entirely stamped out, he would consider the desirability of giving the thanks of the Government to the Royal Society for this instance of the successful application of British scientific research? In his reply to this question Mr. Haldane said:-"I am aware of the great service rendered by the commission in question. The commission's investigations and the adoption of preventive measures as, the outcome of its recommendations have been followed by the practical disappearance of Malta fever from the garrison of the island. I think that the Royal Society is well aware how genuine is the appreciation of the Government. We owe much to the Royal Society's commission for the successful issue of this remarkable investigation, and for the excellent results which have followed. These results illustrate the enormous importance of bringing science into our business of government."
