Many Prey to Hookworm A certain writer in the Northwest has recently published a textbook en titled Animal I’arasitew and Human DlseVse. Ilis chapter on Hookworm opens as follows: “For many years it was customary in the United States to look upoD shiftless people to he found in om South as the product of wanton lari ness and an inborn lark of ambition. For decades the more fortunate North eraers considered the “Poor whites" of the South a good for-nothing, irre aponsihle people, worthy only of scorn and of the sordid povprtv and igno ranee which they brought upon them selves as the fruits of their own shift lersness When it became known, largely as the result of investigations by Dr. r W Stiles, of the United States Public Health Service, that these hopelessly Incapable and pitiful 1y emaciated and stunted people were the victims, not of their own unwill* ingnoss to work or learn, but of the attacks of Intestinal worms which sapped thair vitality, poisoned their systems, and stunted both their men tal and physical growth, and that over two million people in our own Southern states were the victims of these para sites, the “poor whites’’ and “lazy nig gars" of the South became objects of pity and help rather than of acorn." Here we atop and throw aside the hok in disgust. “Just another fling at the South," says the average South ern citizen. Put those who have had an opportunity to study the subject find that our Northwestern friend la right alter all The Hockefeller Foundation has studied the hookworm conditions in Georgia and in the Southeastern slates for many years and over one million dollars have been spent by thi* school of research in the South, in the study and treatment of Hook work alone and over 700,000 hook worm patients have been treated. In a recent report the following conctae description of the disease is given: “Hookworm disease is communica ble it is caused by a small parasitic worm (Uncinaria), about as thick as an ordinary pin and about half as long. Thousands of them may live in the in testine of a single person: in one case more than <5,00,0 liookworms were paus ed by a patient as a result of treat ment. While the female produces im mense numbers of eggs, tliese never mature within the host, but must leave the body with the feces before they can hatch Under proper conditions of air, heat and moisture, they hatch within the brief space of from 24 to 40 hours When once hatched, the lar vae. or young hookworms, too small to he seen with the naked eye, may live on and near the surface of the ground for many months, and so long as they atav in the soil they remain micro scopic in sire They get back into the body by boring through the skin of the bare feet and hands or other portions of the body which come in contact with soil In which they ex let, and thus pass Into the circulating blood of the human host. Their en trance through the skin causes an itch which has come to he known as ground itch After boring through the skin they enter the lymphatics, are carried through the heart, penetrate tlie lungs, make their way to the throat and are swallowed, after which they ult mutely reach the small intes tine Here titer grow to maturity and remain for seven yearn, or more. If not disturbed hy treatment.” The hookworm lives upon the blood of tlie patient, thereby lowering the vitality and subjecting him to other diseases, such as typhoid, malaria, pneumonia and tuberculosis This is largely responsible for tlie greater number of rases of pneumonia and other infectious diseases among Southern recruits in our recent mili tary mobilization camps One regi ment recruited from two Southern states showed hookworm infection of {>4 per cent, while another showed an Infection of 22 per cent. In both of these regiments an unusually high mortality of measles and pneumonia resulted. AS STRONG AS AT SEVENTEEN 2IRON Iron Tonic Makes Her "Old Man" Feel Young Again, Says Daughter.
