The Tiooma and the Police. For these fatal diseases are often found in a single village. The director of the infectious diseases department mentioned that out of 839 people admitted to his hospital, 145 were admitted for plague, which is 17 percent. Scientific research has been conducted in Italy, America, Egypt, and other countries where the disease is prevalent to discover its cause. Researchers have finally concluded that they have discovered it. The study of this disease began three years ago in the Eastern Province, where 200 infected individuals were placed under observation for a period. During that time, Dr. Charles, director of the Khartoum Institute, visited Upper Egypt to investigate certain aspects of the disease. If scientific research continues to focus on plague and trypanosomiasis with diligence and regularity, it is bound to lead to excellent results.

It is hoped that these measures will improve the situation among a people who are very concerned with curing their eye diseases.

This situation is a result of the backwardness in civilization among the general populace, as it is known that farmers are strong and robust people. To improve this situation, continuous progress in solving health problems and spreading knowledge and education, especially among women, is necessary. Some reforms of this kind have already taken place, with the establishment of midwifery schools and pediatric clinics in the provincial centers. As for the schools...
