Health and Hook-worm Campaign.

Health and H0ok-worm Campaign.
The Louisiana State Board of Health,
with the cooperation of our police jury,
will conduct Hook worm and Health
Campaign" in Grant parish, beginning
March II, and continuing until April 10.
DIR. ]. ID. Baucum will have charge of
the campaign, and he and Supt. Warner
will visit every school in the parish and
lecture on hook-worm disease, modes of
infection, prevention, symptoms and
treatment, also other physical defects,
such as adenoids, graduated eyelids.
and many other health problems that
confront the people to-day. No doubt
exists that hook-worm disease is preva-
lent in this parish and is drawback
to the mental and physical development
of children. After the parish has been
covered in this way, dispensary or treat
ing points will be held, which will be
published later. At these dispensary1
points people are expected to come out
and be examined for this devitalizing
disease, and if found infected receive
free treatment with full directions.
The campaign has been conducted in
several adjoining parishes and the peo-
pie as whole are highly pleased with
the results of the work.
Superintendent Warner and DR.. F. 0.
Maxwell, parish health officer, desire
that every patron of the schools who
are interested in the education and
health of their children be present at
these meetings, and cooperate with
DR.. Baucum in the great work in which
he is engaged for the betterment of
conditions in Grant parish.
