D. C.) IN ALL the stirring story of man’s , effort to make himself master of ‘ his environment, there is not a more thrilling chapter than that ( which tells of the bitter battles he has , waged for the conquest of contagion, ' and of the ground he has won in his ( struggle with his relentless and in numerable, though invisible, foes, the organizisms of disease. The World war served to demon- ' strate that the tyranny of the disease- , producing germ can be conquered. Straining every nerve for victory, ] the nations that faced the foe from ] Bagdad to Bruges had to make sure ; that epidemic disease should not at- ( tack the firing line from the rear. , Consequently, halt-way and temporiz- ' ing methods were taboo and preven- ' tive medicine had free reign. ' The results were amazing. Al- , though never before in human his- ’ tory was there such an intermingling , of peoples, such a crossing and re- , crossing of seas, such an invitation to contagion to spread to the ends of the earth, only one epidemic succeeded j in breaking the barriers erected by < the sanitarians. And, as if to em- ' phasize man’s power to master the . major contagions, not one of those , with which the world’s public health officials were familiar escaped from ( the regions where it was endemic, while influenza, which was a stranger, j broke away and swept over the face , of the earth. It was natural, therefore, that when . peace came again the lessons of pre- ) vention and sanitation learned during the World war should have driven ' themselves home in the minds of those who think in terms of world welfare. Taught that epidemic diseases, which plainly constitute the major menace to civilization in peace times, can be mastered, the sanitarians threw them selves into the fray with redoubled energy. Hookworm Is Conquered. ■ Casting about in the early days for the best pathogenic foe to attack in a great after-the-war campaign for international health, many of these agencies decided to concentrate on hookworm. For here was a human ailment sapping the strength of hun dreds of millions of people throughout the frostless belt of the earth — a principal cause, indeed, of their Individual and collective exhaustion. No other disease is as easily cured. The demonstration both of its cause and elimination was amazingly simple: a dose say, of epsom salts, a dose of thymol, another dose of salts, fol lowed by the elimination of scores and even hundreds of life-sapping worms. Reaching as far north as the lati tude of Nashville, Tenn., and Osaka, Japan, and as far south as that of Valdivia, Chile, and Wellington, New Zealand, the hookworm zone of the earth embraces more than half its population. It is within this zone that most of the world’s backward peoples live, and there is much ground for saying that perhaps the chief part of their backwardness is due to the cumulative effect of the disease —physical, eco nomic, intellectual, and moral—upon the race. Today those southern states’ com munities whose health organizations took up the anti-hookworm war have the satisfaction of knowing that hook worm disease has been greatly re duced, both in severity and preva lence; that the people have been en lightened as to its importance, its relief, and the means of its final con trol ; that permanent agencies com mitted to its elimination have been rooted in the soil, and that a sus taining public sentiment has been created in the interest of more gen eral measures for the better protec tion of public health. Even more insidious than the hook worm, and not so dramatically erad- Icable, is the microscopic animal that causes malaria. In the language of the lamented Osler, “cholera kills its thousands; plague, in its bad years, its hundreds of thousands; yellow fever, hookworm disease, pneumonia and tu berculosis are ^}l terribly destructive, some only in the tropics, others in more temperate regions as well; but malaria is today, as it were, a disease to which the word pandemic is ap plicable. In this country and in Eu rope its ravages have lessened enor mously during the past century, but in the tropics it is everywhere present, the greatest single fbe of the white man.” Controlling Malaria. In India alone 1,300,000 people die annually of malaria and 100,000,000 more suffer from its qttacks. All over the world, wherever anopheline mos quitoes dwell, the “ague” is a men ace which slays its thousands, ren ders the bodies of its ten of thousands happy hunting grounds for other path ogenic invaders, and makes its mil lions less efficient and useful. It was Maj. Ronald Ross, the dis tinguished British army surgeon, who was finally able to pin the crime of spreading malaria on the anopheline mosquito. Fourteen hundred years before Ross’ day those winged villains were under suspicion, and the literature of the disease contains many unsupport ed charges against them. At length Laveran found the tiny eel-like para site, which swimming through the blood, attacks and breaks up the red corpuscles and causes malaria. THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA. Then Ross undertook to find out how it got there. After discussing the subject with Sir Patrick Manson, he set out for his regimental post a’ Secunderabad, India. He began tc dissect mosquitoes under the micro scope. Week after week he conducted his search for the malarial germ Ir the Insect's tissues without 'result. Finally he had two remaining mos qultoes. Taking one of these, he searched It out part by part, but with intense disappointment, until he came to the ‘‘wee beastie's” stomach. There, with his high-power microscope, he found some black specks. He recog nized them as the pigment of the ma laria germ. After gaining this clue, exhausted, he slept for an hour. Com ing back to his work, he used a stronger salt solution in his dissect ing operations, and 10, the contents of the pigmented cells no longer con sisted of clear fluid but a multitude of threadlike bodies, which on the rup ture of the parent cell, were poured into the body-cavity of the Insect! From there they entered the salivary glands, and from these reached the blood of the person bitten by the mos quito. In his story of his work Ross exclaims: “Never in our dreams had we imagined so wonderful a tale as this.” Under his leadership, Ismailia, on the Suez canal, with 8,000 population, set to work to free itself from ma laria. It succeeded so brilliantly that the disease was entirely wiped out. Panama and a hundred other places have been largely freed from malaria by the application of the principles for its control developed by Ross and his co-workers. The anopheline mosquito is essen tially a rural resident, in contrast to the yellow fever carrier, which pre fers to live in cities. Therefore the malaria problem, in the main, has be come, under conditions of modern san itation, a matter to be dealt with mainly by small towns, villages and country districts. The measures employed are: Sim ple drainage, filling pits and shallow pools, channeling streams, clearing the margins of streams and ponds, re moving obstructions, turning in the sunlight, oiling, enlisting the service of the top minnow and administering quinine. Driving Out Yellow Fever. In the world-wide crusade for the conquest of contagion inaugurated af ter the close of the World war, yellow fever stood out as an insolent foe that had been defeated in organized war fare, but that had now resorted to sniping and bush-whacking in tropical America, and Africa. How finally to drive it beyond the bounds of civiliza tion and into the land of extinction became the thought of one of the world's leading sanitary organizations. Gen. William C. Gorgas, who had been the Nemesis of the Yellow Jack at Havana and Panama, was induced to head a board whose mission was to run down that disease to its lair and to stamp it out forever. It was while he was en route to Africa, to extir pate the sources of infection there, that he died in London, at a time when he might almost have realized his life’s dream of “writing the last chapter of the history of yellow fever.” After Maj. Walter Reed and his fellow-workers in Cuba had demon strated that yellow fever is a mos quito-borne disease, General Wood and Colonel Gorgas, by following the principles laid down by Reed, ban ished it from Cuba; Colonel Gorgas drove it out of Panama; Dr. Oswaldo Cruz eliminated it from Rio de Jeneiro and Doctor Liceaga exterminated it in Vera Cruz. But there still remained a few places that served as seed beds of the dis ease, against which the world had to quarantine constantly'. One of these was Guayaquil, Ecuador, and there were others in Yucatan, Guatemala and elsewhere. Finally Guayaquil, awake to the new spirit of international co-opera tion for making the world safe from the domination of the Huns of con tagion, invited the foremost sani tarians of North America to co-op erate with the municipality in a final drive for the extermination of the malady. The invitation was accepted, and American, Latin and Nipponese fought shoulder to shoulder in a stirring bat tle for the last stronghold of Yellow Jack, with the result that in less than a year’s time the last case of yellow fever was cured; and in less than two years all danger of its recurrence was past. For the first time in three-quarters of a century Guayaquil was a port against which the world no longer needed to set up the bars of quaran tine. As a result of very careful work of research specialists there are now four ways by which yellow fever may be combatted —by eliminating Mrs. Stegomyia Fasciata, the deadly lady of the mosquito tribe who carries it from person to person; by keeping persons with the disease out of reach cf any chance survivors of the mos quito war; by vaccinating the nonim- ’ munes; and by administering serum to those who have gotten the disease in spite of all precautions. So successful has been the combi nation of these methods that it is now believed leptosplra icteroldes has come almost to the end of Its rope. Wit A?
