''African Fever And Culture Of The Blue Gum-Tree To Counteract Malaria In Italy'' is a book written by John Croumbie Brown in 1890. The book explores the problem of malaria in Italy and the potential solution of introducing the blue gum-tree, a eucalyptus tree native to Africa, to counteract the disease. Brown examines the history and prevalence of malaria in Italy and proposes that the blue gum-tree could be used to reduce the mosquito population, which is the carrier of the disease. He also discusses the benefits of the blue gum-tree, such as its ability to absorb large amounts of water and its medicinal properties. The book provides a detailed description of the blue gum-tree, including its physical characteristics, growth habits, and potential uses. Brown also includes information on the cultivation and propagation of the tree, as well as its potential economic benefits. Overall, ''African Fever And Culture Of The Blue Gum-Tree To Counteract Malaria In Italy'' is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of science, medicine, and nature in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
