BEWARE THE MOSQUITO; ITS BITE MAY INFECT YOU WITH MALARIA CAUSING LIFE-LONG ILLNESS AND PERHAPS DEATH. THE DANGER AREAS ARE AFRICA, TROPICAL AMERICA, INDIA AND THE FAR EAST. DEFEAT THE MOSQUITO IN THESE WAYS Go ashore as little as possible in the danger zones. If you do go ashore return to your ship before sundown. The mosquito usually attacks by night. Take a dose of mepacrine ten days before your ship arrives at a danger zone and continue to take a dose on each of the six days in the week (e.g. except Sundays) as long as you remain and for thirty days after you leave. Mepacrine won't hurt you, but it will kill malaria germs in your blood. Make your quarters mosquito proof. Keep them clean and see that there are no pools of stagnant water (for example in the boats) where mosquitoes may breed. Sleep under a mosquito net. MEPACRINE KEEPS MALARIA AWAY PRINTED FOR H.M.
