Helping the General Health i
Twelve States Making a Vigorous Campaign Against
the Hookworm Disease—An Army of People
Already Cured— Typhoid Fever Also
Being Eradicated at Same Time J
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 with 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 the advancement
of the campaign against hookworm
disease they are at the same time
establishing a standard for health

brings forth greater efforts and more

This campaign is doing more toward
the eradication of typhoid fever in the

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
day. The father was doing about half
work, the eldest boy almost none.

they all lived fifteen months after
they were treated for hookworm dis
ease. They were so restored In health
and vigor that they set to work to
make enough money to better them
selves In every possible way.
The little white schoolhouse is
where the children are now going to
school to learn to read and write
things that were beyond the power
and knowledge of their father and
execution of those general measures
necessary to the protection of their life
and health. An army of people cured
in this way have been transformed in
their conditions of health, happiness
and efficiency in away so striking that
the results are often compared to the
miracles, and they are cheerfully mak
