PREVENTION OF HOOkWORM DISEASE
IS SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE.

IT MAY BE DONE BY,
!. Treating those who have the disease
until cured, and thus remove the souree
Of infection BY killing the worms.
2. By wearing good shoes, especially on
wet ground, and also observing strict clean
illness IN the eating Of knocked vegetables
and raw fruit.
8. The Building Of sanitary closets at
every home and school-house and keeping
them IN a sanitary condition.

diseases, such as typhoid fever, con-
sumption, etc. This parasite is Pc
culiar in that it develops partly out
side and in part inside the body. 1t
is not possible for man to catch this
disease from other animals. The
adult hookworm lays her eggs in the
bowel, but owing to insufficient air
they are never found to hatch inside
the body. On passing from the body
the egg matches under favorable con-
ditions in from one to three days
into what is known as the infected
stage of the worn During the first
week the small unseen colorless
parasite moves about actively and
eats heartily. During this period it
sheds its skin twice much as a snake
sheds its skin. At the end of the
first week the young hookworm re-
mains enclosed by the dead skin of
the second moulting and remains in
the soil in an inactive state, await
ing an opportunity to get into the
blood of some barefooted boy or girl.
Thus the ever recurring cycle of
changes may be followed from the
egg to the larva infected stage)
and from the soil to the body. It is
here that the hookworm carries on
its pernicious work Of sucking the
blood and poisoning the individual.
Then follows the train Of symptoms
and the awful weakening, dwarfng

the disease is much more dangerous
than the treatment, and no one
should give any thought to such
misleading reports. Most persons
prefer to take the treatment on Sat-
urday and Sunday so as to avoid loss
of time from work. Every one who
is found infected with hookworms
owes it to himself and to others to
be treated until cured. Each person
should take at least three treatments
n week apart, and if necessary adj
ditoinal treatments. The disease is
so easily cured that no one should
stop short Of this. You should not
forget that you will have poor health
as long as you have these blood
sucking parasites in your body. No
one should lose the opportunity of
visiting the hookworm dispensaries.
H00Kw0RM DIsPENsARIEs A
GREAT SUCCESS.
Thousands of people have been
treated in these dispensaries during
the past year by the field-staff Of
the State Board of Health. These
have been conducted in about Is
counties and the success has been
nothing less than phenomenal. Peo-
pie have come for miles to be ex-
amined and treated. There have been
as a result of the treatment remark
able transformations in body and
mind. The bed-ridden and invalids
have been restored to health. Men
unfit to earn an honest living have
become strong and able to support
their families. Men, women and chill
dren have become greatly improved
in health and are happy in the pos
session of increased strength and
vigor. Children who have been back
ward at school are now making
rapid progress and are active phys.
ically and alert mentally.
The people r also beginning to
show a greater appreciation for bet
ter sanitary conditions and many of
the homes in rural districts as well
as in the towns are installing san.
itary closets. They realize that this
will not only give protection to
hookworm disease, but also typhoid
fever and other bowel troubles. This
fact is taking hold upon the minds
OF the public and it is but tho dawn
my OF a new era in the progress of
civilization.
THE SANITARY PRIVY.
A sanitary privy is one which has
a fiy-proof vault under the seat, and
q close-ftting lid on a hinge for the
opening in the seat. Under this open
ing q pail OF tub is placed by raising
a hinged door in the e a Of the
vault. Dry dirt or lime or chemical
disinfectants are placed in the pals
or tubs as needed. The contents of
the tub should be removed once a
week, and buried deeply at some
place remote from the well OF water
supply. It may be burned or treated
with some germicide, bat under no
circumstances should it be used as
fertilizer, a. this renders the soil
dangerous with the injecting germs
Of hookworm disease and typhoid
fever.

THE
TIME AND PLACE!
BRING YOUR WIFE
AND CHILDREN!

If you find that you are not infected with this disease
no harm is done, and you have the satisfaction of knowing
that you are free of q malady which is sapping the lifes
blood of thousands of men, women and children in our
state. But if you have the disease you should know it and
be treated at once. 1t means health for you and your chill
come.
You can't afford to wait for disease does not wait. The
campaign will be conducted in this county for only a short
time and no one should lose the opportunity of being ex-
amined, and if necessary treated.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1913-03-21

We have found that of over 60.
600 microscopic examinations, on an
average Of two-thirds of those OK.
amined between the ages of six and
eighteen years are infected with
Hookworm disease. It is also very
prevalent among adults in heavily
infected areas Of the State. Males
and females suffer alike from this
disease. It is, however, much more
common in rural districts and small
towns than in cities where there are
proper sanitary arrangements for
the disposal Of wastes Of the body.
It is therefore clear that this disease
is prevalent in the country because
OF the absence or primitive nature
OF the sanitary arrangements about
the home and school-house. Many of
our farm and village homes either
have no privy or one that is badly
constructed and unsanitary. This
disease is spread by the infected
bowel discharge of those who have
the disease. If such matter gets in
the soil and becomes mingled with
it by the rains or scattered by fowls,
hogs, dogs, ETC., the soil becomes in
fected with young hookworms (lar-
vae) and when this filthy soil comes
in contact with the skin one is liable
to contract this disease. It is found
that about 80 per cent catch it
through the skin, especially the feet,
as this portion of the body more
often comes in contact with the in.
fected soil. One may get the disease
by drinking muddy water or eating
uncooked vegetables or fruit. When
a b~arefooted boy or girl walks over
damp or wet soil the young hook
worms crawl through the skin in a
short time and produce an eruption
known as ground itch" or "dew
poison" This is usually the first
symptom of the disease.
CAUSE OF THE DISEASE.
This is a tropical and semi-tropical
disease. It is therefore found in In.

America, also in the mines of Spain,
France, Germany, Belgium, and Ill
OF the Southern States are found in.
tested with this disease. It is there
fore a disease that is not peculiar to
any class or race Of people, but its
existence is due purely to certain
climatic conditions. The disease is
caused by q small, round worm Of q
dingy white or brownish color,
which varies in length from one
third to one-half an inch and ID
about the size Of q small hair-pin.
The adult worm is found in the small
