Fighting Hookworm Disease
Nearly a Quarter of a Million People Have Been Treated
For This Scourge of All Warm Climates—States
and Counties Co-operating
TIIE fight against the ravages of |
hookworm disease in the United
States Is one of the most inspir
ing and hopeful events ever re
corded in the age long history of man’s
struggle against ailments that sap his
strength and weaken him in body and
mind.
It is a fight against an enemy of man
kind that infests every country in the
world tiiat is blessed with a warm cli
mate, and therefore is found in this
country in our southern states.
It is au inspiring light to the victim
of the disease, for it tilings him relief
from pain and illness, restores him to
healthful vigor, makes life again worth
living and lifts him to a higher plane j
of usefulness to himself and to his
comma nity.
It is an inspiring flight to the patri
otic lover of America, for it shows how
when philanthropist and scientist fur
nish the means and the knowledge how'
quickly American people, through their
state and county government and by
their individual efforts, will help to
solve certainly a problem that was for
centuries deemed unsolvable.
For so long a time that the memory
of man runneth not to the contrary
people living in warm climates have
suffered from thin bloodedness, from
lassitude, from inability to work with ;
either mind or body in a fashion hap
pily unknown to people in the colder
latitudes. Many names were given to
these diseases and many cures were
suggested, but the great majority of
the sufferers never found relief in all
their blighted lives
Then came the scientist and his mi
croscope and found that the trouble
was that tiuy w orms, too small for tiie
eye to see. abounded in polluted soil,
and that they worked their way in

to grow larger and to fasten themselves
in the wall of the bowels and suck the
blood of the luckless victim. And
more, there to lay eggs to pollute the
soil that an endless chain of suffering
might lie kept up. When the micro
scope found how these worms were
sucking people’s blood, then the chem
ist found that a certain drug would
kill them and not hurt the person who
took it. Thus science laid the founda

The health agents started in to do
their work, teaching the people not
only how to he cured of the disease,
but how to prevent it in tiie future.
Soon they had obtained the hearty co
operation of county and school district
governments, of physicians and of citi

That is bow the fight was organized.
Here is how it has been carried on.
Up until June 30, 1912, a total of 221,
308 persons had been treated In the
several states as follows:
Alabama 28.693
Arkansas 1,9-H
Georgia 13,618

Mississippi 13. LU
North Carolina 73,051-
South Carolina 19,811
Tennessee 5,73:
Virginia 10,392

How rapidly the work is going for

six months of the current year, in
deed, half the work in Louisiana, three
fourths of that in South Carolina and
all of that in Kentucky has been doiu
