mission TO Locate Seat of Trouble
and That Body Lays Blame
on Microbe.

The original and specific germ of lazi-
ness has been discovered. II is known
as the Uncinarius Americans, and it's
home Is in Porto Rico. No less than
80 per cent. of the entire rural popula-
ton ia afflicted with the germ, which is
commonly and vulgarly known as the
hookworm.
A commission was appointed TO in
vestigate the cause OF such disastrous
and widespread laziness in the island.
and it's report has just been published.
Prominent army and navy physicians.
acting with the health officers OF Porto
Rico. made up this commission. which
began its clinical Investigations last
March.
A large tent hospital was erected at
Bayaman, near San Juan. and every
modern facility provided for the treat
ment Of the unfortunate lazy. with the
result that now every one Of the cases
is at least able TO work.
In single day, the report states. no
less than GO cases applied TO the hos
pital for treatment. And in less than
a year from the time of the hospitals
establishment there have been treated
and cured 5000 cases.
The total expense of the experiment
has been only $1,000. or an average OF
only one dollar for every lazy man cured
an estimate, the report states, that
should be highly satisfactory TO every
one who is interested III the welfare OF
people who live in tropical climates.
The germ is said to infest the water
and soil. multiplying with frightful ra-
pidity ia the system OF the patient. Alb
solute skepticism on the part of the ma
tives is said TO have met the hospital
physicians when a cure was first an
nounced. For years they had been
treated by Spanish and native physi.
clans, as we'll as by the orthodox scien-
tific school OF medicine, which went on
from year to year prescribing iron
Quinine and tonics.
But once the hookworm was prop
erly isolated and recognized on the
glass slide OF the experimental patholo-
gist, it became merely a matter of a few
hours to discover some powerful anti
septic or germicide that should put al
end TO it,
