Free dispensaries. where the people
OF the communities where the infec-
ton of hookworm exists. may come
and be treated by experts without
money and without price. will shortly
be esta blished in all such localities.
This plan is being worked out by the
State Health Department. which han
dies for Virginia the contributions of
the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission.
Every person In the State is to be
given chance to be cured of tho
disease without cost. With the re-
search into conditions largely COM
pleted. and with the range of the In
lection pretty well determined, the de-
partment feels that the time has come
TO wipe hookworm out OF Virginia.
Work First In Lunenburs
Lunenburg county will be the first
scene of free dispensaries. Six points
will be designated to begint with. and
the specialists OF the department will
be present on days which Will be ad-
vertised. Everybody Will be invited
those who have hookworm and those
who don't know whether they are in
fected or not Examinations will be
made and the treatment administered
One week later the physician will
be around again, having completed his
visits to the six points. A second
dose Will be given when necessary.
and others will be examined and treat
ed. Within two months. perhaps, the
people within range of the chain of
stations will have been cured and the
disease eliminated
Other counties will be organized In
the same way as rapidly as possible
