DR.. Theodore J. Cummings. an authority
on all forms Of intestinal parasites infect
ing the human body, Is the author Of tho
above statement. Few people," states
Or. Cummings, "give this subject the seri-
Gus thought that 1t deserves" The large
sum Of 100000. subscribed by John D.
Rockefeller for the scientific study and
eradication Of the Hook Worm disease. has
been the means Of opening the eyes Of the
people to the danger to health from this
source. I can safely say. without fear
Of successful contradiction. that 80 l-3 per
cent of the people In the United States
are affected with some form Of intestinal
parasites, of which the beef tape worm

(Nematoda) and thread worms (Ascari-
dae.) are the most common. THE source

ciently cooked meat. sewer polluted wa
ter raw vegetables and fruit, which have

T. Spencer Cobbold. NJ. D.. the great
English authority. In q treatise on intes-
unal parasites states that the recorded
experience Of Kaschin was that FIVE hun
trict had Tape Worm. although all OF
them were being treated for other disor-
ders. DR.. Cobbold further states that
whether dealing with the external or the
internal forms. the study OF parasites OF
man Is practically one Of boundcss extent
and no person can derive advantage from
the study Of intestinal parasites unless
the subject be approached in right frame
of mind. The trouble Is there are no peo-
pie so difficult to instruct as those who
are ignorant Of their own ignorance.
