The alarmingly high percentage of
unfitness among young men of mili¬
tary age In tho South Atlantic and
Gulf States may serve as „n index to
the same relatively high percentage of
unfitness of the population as a whol .
The South is keenly embarrassed over
this situation and rightly so. A great
slice of this unfitness ts due to the
venereal or "social" disease. At first
this was thought to be due to the ne¬
gro element of our population- Later
figures, however, revealed the fact
that the same high percentage of un¬
fitness exists among the white popu¬
lation.
The Southern States are not alto¬
gether to blame foi this embarrassing
state of affairs. Ignofance plays a
large part, hut the distribution of
ignorance is fairly uniform over the
country at large. Probably the most
specific cause is climate. Our states
are rated in the temperate zone, hut
from the standpoint of health they are
almost semi-tropical. Hence we have
to contend with a great many factors
from which our sister states north of
u« enjoy natural immunity. The
great scourges of hookworm and mal¬
aria are already familiar to us. Both
are tropical diseases and each has
played a large part in lowering the
physical fitness of our people. Pella¬
gra is also peculiar to the South and
contributed its
There is one other important dis¬
which though not confined to the
South yet takes advantage of the fa¬
vorable climate, and not only causes
thousands of deaths annually, but
stunts and cripples the vitality of
many other thousands, tnus render¬
ing them susceptible to other dis¬
eases. This disease is called dysen-
Dysentery is of two kinds—amoebic
and bacillary. Amoebic dysentery,
though not as contagious as the bac¬
illary form, is of much longer dura¬
tion and may last for years as chron¬
ic dysentery. It is also not as prev¬
alent nor as fatal, but it incapacitates
the victim for a much longer time and
renders life a burden indeed. It is
rather difficult to cure, although treat¬
ment with emetin may arrest and
sometimes effect a cure after long
treatment. related to
Bacillary dysentery is ty¬
phoid fever in many ways. It is s
food and water bourne disease. An
Infected water supply or dairy may
result in an epidemic particularly
among children. The death rate is
highest among children under five
.years of ftge. The so-called "summer
diarrhoea" ,Ctf babies is often in real¬
ity bacillary dyseutery originating
from carelessly handled ti.aRy prod¬
ucts. Flies also play an important
part in spreadju dysentery. The fe¬
cal discharge from the infected indi¬

are responsible more than any
factors for the spread of both

Unfortunately, medical science
not yet discovered a vaccine which
will immunize against dysentery. In
the end, however, this may not be
so unfortunate. For the most suc¬
cessful way to combat disease is to
