Formaldehyde proved ineffective, except when used in a concentration capable of killing bacterial spores, as the imagines crept into various fabrics exposed thus in a measure escaping the action of the disinfectant. Sulphur dioxide gas, in a dry or moist state, proved most effective, even in considerable dilution. “Contrary to formaldehyd it has surprising powers of penetrating through clothing and fabrics, killing the mosquitoes, even when hidden under 4 layers of toweling, in one hour's time.”)Google Scholar

He comes to essentially the same conclusions as we did regarding the cause of the disappearance of ague, but in view of the Anopheles being numerous he does not think that the disappearance is due to a reduction in the number of insects.
