These Pictures Show What Relief From Hookworm Disease Meant to One Family THE tumbledown shack is where they ail lived in misery, not knowing what was their trouble. They were illiterate, for in four [ generations not one of their ancestors had ever gone to school. There were the father and mother and five children. | The mother had never known a well i day. The father was doing about half j work, the eldest boy almost none.

They were so restored in health and vigor that they set to work to j make enough money to hotter them i selves in every possible way. The little while sehnolhou.se is where the children are now going to I school to learn to read and write tilings that were beyond the power] and knowledge of their father and 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: establishing a standard for health , wm Y rj| WHOLE COMMUNITIES SUFFER. In the background is a district stfhoolhouse, and in the foreground are the teacher and her pupils. Every one of them, including the teacher, is infected with hookworm disease. 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 great-grandmotie. rs 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 I further spread of (lie disease? Is It ] any wonder that the father lias built ■ a sanitary privy and Is observing 'those simple rules of sanitation that if generally lived up to would com | pletely banish hookworm disease from lhe country?

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.
