“…The results of these trials in India and elsewhere proved to be very encouraging and mf density dropped by more than 90 per cent and mf disappeared from the blood in 31 to 98 per cent of the infected population 43 44 45 46 47 48 . Similar effects have been obtained from medium scale trials, covering population in the range between 1000 and 7000 49 50 51 52 53 54 and one large scale trial covering a whole endemic province with a population of over two million in China where the problem was as serious as in India 54 .
