TREATING HOOKWORM DISEASE
DIR. c. w. STILES DESCRIBES
METHOD TO BE FOLLOWED.
Doses Of Thymol Given in Order to
Get at the Parasite-Regimen
to Be Observed.

Or. Warden Stiles. the hookworm ex-
pert of the Marine Hospital service. fur
nishes an important statement as to the
treatment Of the disease. He says that
the fundamental principle underlying the
treatment of hookworm disease is the
same as that which underlies all other
zooparasitic diseases-first, treat the
parasite and not the patient. and after
that is done turn to the patient.
The treatment to reach the parasite
consists in proper doses of thymol. DR..
Stiles says that 1t is better to give the
treatment Saturdays and Sundays. The
patient should not have any food on
Sundays containing alcohol, fats or OIL.
and milk and butter are especially bar
red. So are patent medicines that are
likely to contain alcohol. Saturday even
ing a heavy dose OF Epson salts is ad-
ministered. Before the drug is taken
the patient is required to lie on his right
side and stay In that position at least
half an hour. Most hookworm patients
have enlarged stomachs. and ii they lie
on their right side the drug has the bene-
ii OF gravity in passing from the stom-
ach into the intestines. where the hook
worm makes his home. The thymol Is
given in two or three doses, generally al
L O'Clock in the morning. then at =
. clock. followed by Epson salts again al
10 o. clock. Food must not be taken until
after the dose OF EPSON salts at IL
o'clock. Finely powdered thymol in cap
sules. generally live grains. IS preferable
10 most other forms. The quantity o.
thy1no! to be given in one day differs sac
cording to the age of the patient, rang
Ing from seven and half grains for
children under five years old, 10 thirty
to forty-five grains for persons above
sixty years.
Tie treatment must be repeated each
Saturday ard sunday for several weeks
until the patient is relieved.

locked UP in the Tombs Friday. under an
indictment charging him with grand lar
ceny, in connection with the recent loan
disclosures, failed TO raise the necessary
$4,000 bail today and will spend Sunday
in a cell.
This soiourn in the Tombs is somewhat
of a surprise to Adams. He brought only
one or two clean shirts and collars with
him from Boston, expecting to run right
back home after he had given himself up
to the district attorneys office and
plunked down some securities with a
surety company. The surety company
wasn't satisfied Friday with the character
of the securities and SO Mr.. Adams ac-
cepted an invitation TO remain over night
as the cftyS guest. HIS intended, how
ever. to jump back to Boston today. but
the surety company's regard for the char
acter of his securities hadn't improved
over night and Adams was obliged to
send word to the Hub that he would be

about the Windsor transactions. He
has delivered "A written statement to his
lawyer. and Mr.. Mcintyre will turn 1t
over TO the district attorney, provided
he can get something in return for his
client. Ii is certain. however. that the
district attorneys office will not grant
immunity to Persch The best he can
hope to get Is recommendation OF
leniency.
Lawyer Mcintyre believes that the evil
dence which Persch will furnish will pc
sufficient to enable the district attor-
ney's office to secure indictments against
the men whom Persch contends were
really behind the Windsor Trust Com
pany deal Even with Persch's evil
dence. the district attorneys office does
not look for more than two other indict-
ments In the case. It is expected that
these will be handed down Monday or
Tuesday.
Some Of the directors OF the Windsor
Trust Company are becoming restive
under the statement by Stirling Birming-
hams counsel that Birmingham has been
made the goat by the officers of the
Windsor. 1t is known that unless the
executive committee OF the trust COM
pany makes report absolutely clearing
the officers OF the company there will
