RICHMOND COUNTY
FIGHTS HOOKWORM

Richmond county will probably be the
first in the South to rid itself of the
hookworm. The community is taking
hold of the task of eradication. Wheth-
er or not it scores first in the South, it
will certainly do so in the State. The
County Board of Health. the local I'm
provement League and the public school
officials and teachers are cooperating
most heartily in the work. Hundreds of
affected persons are being treated with
the best of results. The county is alive
with interest in the matter.
Every cured case is an object lesson
to the rest of the county. The treat.
ment is simple and inexpensive. Mer
who have been listless and languid
weak in mind and in body, have become
almost rejuvenated after one day spent
in being rid of the disease which has &c
disastrously affected the South.
In course of time every person in the
county will have been examined fol
symptoms of hookworm. Not only
school children, but adults are alread,
being brought under pressure to have
themselves treated. The effect of thi.
work upon the people of the county i.
expected to appear almost miraculous
