Helping the General Health
Twelve States Making a Vigorous Campaign Against
the Hookworm Disease An Army of People
Already Cured Typhoid Fever Also
Being Eradicated at Same Time
THE state boards of health of
twelve southern states are con
ducting a vigorous crusade
against hookworm disease, and
the results are manifest on every hand
That is to say that when something
like sixty picked physicians peculiarly
adapted to dealing witli health prob
lems in a very practical way are de
voting their entire time and exerting
their every effort to develop the most
efficient measures for Hie advancement
of the campaign against hookworm
disease they are at the same time:

work which by way of comparison
brings forth greater efforts and more
thorough work ou the part of ail
health officials.
This campaign is doing more toward
the eradication of typhoid fever In the
south than is being accomplished in
rural districts elsewhere in this coun
try’. Moreover, it is carrying into
every district where the free dis
pensary systems have been operated
a demonstration so striking and so
quickly to tie seen that the people are
being aroused as never before for the
mother, tlieir grandfathers and grand
mothers. tlwir great-grandfathers and

The sturdy, healthy boy at the fence
is one of the lads who are using their
muscle and energy to bring tiie family
into a prosperity never known before.
He is industrious and callable now, but
he was an invalid until he was relieved
of hookworm disease.
Is it any wonder that this family is
doing what it can to prevent the

necessary to the' protection of tlieir life
and health. An army of people cured
in this way have been transformed in
their conditions of health, happiness
and efficiency in a way so striking that
tlie results are often compared to the
miracles, and they are cheerfully mak
ing of themselves walking and talking
disciples for spreading the gospel of
better health and sanitary conditions.
In response to these demonstrations
the people are already demanding the
employment of capable physicians as
whole time health officers, as protect
ors and preservers of the health and
vitality of the community ns a whole
When we consider that this state of
affairs has been largely developed in
the brief period of two years the most
imaginative persons are unable to fore
cast what revolution is imminent Al
ready we realize our notorious lack of
sanitation and excess of disease. We
may gain some Idea, however, of what
may be expected by’ considering how
the canal zone and Cuba have been
transformed within a few years from
two of the most disease ridden coun
tries of the globe to two health resorts.
