Statement Of County Health Officer Of Laud-
derdale County.

Dr. w. S. feathers, University, Miss.
Dear Doctor:-As county Health Officer it has been my privilege to
note the progress and the results of the campaign against Hookworm Dis
ease which has been carried on lin auderdale County and is just drawing
to a close. The methods used in reaching sanitation and, as well as in this
particular disease, have been singuary successful, and the magnitude of
the work accomplished is almost beyond belief.
DR.. Howard, who has directed the campaign, has visited practically
every community in the county, giving more than one hundred and fifty
illustrated lectures o Hookworm disease and other health problems, be-
sides putting into thousands of homes Of this section readable, interesting
educational literature. The great value of the information thus dissemina-
ted will be shown in nhe future in q more vigorous, healthy and virie cih-
zenship. The MASSES have been made toreaize that the State Board Of
Health is An active force, alert to the menace of disease, and aggressive
and competent, through its representatives to cope successfully with any
people to the possibilities of preventive measures in reducing tho annual
death rate, andvery materially decreasing the economic loss from sickness
and i'll health, will greatly aid the county and municipal health authorities
in the discharge of their duties. The material benefit that has come to the
people Of Lauderdae County through having hundreds treated and cured
Of Hookworm Disease, thus restoring them to health, and permitting them
to develop into a strong, healthy manhood and womanhood, cannot be over
estimated. There is not a community in the county where the striking
benefits of treatment for this disease not in evidence, and the oppor-
tunty was given the people to see the accurate, scientific methods now u.s..
ed in detecting disease. More than 1900 people were examined, and more
than 1000 treatments were issued. All of this work wa accomplished in
eleven weeks of actual work, which gives evidence of the energy and ef-
fciency of the director Of the campaign. The directors methods of pro;
cedure we're strictly ethical, having first won the friendship, influence and
support of each practitioner in our county. Never before to my knowledge
has one man pleased, and obtained the healthy support Of the entire medi-
cal profession Of Lauderdale County as has Dr. Howard.
In conclusion, it might be stated that the county was only asked to
meet a small part Of the expense of this work, amounting to about Sets.

Is it a disgrace to have typhoid fever, or pneumonia Ger
tainly not. 1t is a misfortune. Neither is it a disgrace to
have Hookworm Disease. 1t is the most common disease in
the south to-day-one that is easily spread and anyone in any
walk of life may become infected any day and suffer i'll health
for years. never suspectng the cause. We have found this
disease in the richest homes of one of our largest cities. 1t
is no respecter of persons and just because you are you is
no reason or evidence why you are not infected. 5000 peo-
ole were examined in Lauderdale County. Over 1000 we're
examined in one week. More than 300 specimens were sent
in for examination in one day

Statement from Member State Board Of Health
County Health Officer and County
Supt. of Education.

OSKSs "
To the People of Grenada County:
DIR. X. H. Howard and a competent microscopic
have been sent to our county by the state board of
health to take up the work of eradication of the
hookworn disease. These men are experts and
their services and the treatment for this disease will
be given to people without charge. DIR. Howard
will visit every school and community in the coun-
ty giving illustrated lectures on the Hookworm
Disease and various other health problems.
The amount of benefit derived from this work
by the people of Grenada county will depend entir-
ly upon the response of the people, and we desire
to express not only our approval of this campaign
but to insist that the people take advantage of this
opportunity. While this disease is not so common
in this section as in the southern part of the state
yet it is more common than is generally understood
and no one can be absolutely sure of being free
from infection except by being examined. $4,000
people were treated in Mississippi alone last year,
and this work is of inestimable benefit to the peo-
pie of this and other southern states.

feet There is at the present stage
10 feet of water in this well, leav

little doubt of the water diminishing
is proven by the existence of IS feet
of water-bearing gravel that insures
a constant supply.
The Amargosa river is one of the
famous dry channels of the desert
country which seldom carries any
flow on the surface, but retains it
beneath, where there is no loss from
seepage or evaporation. Nature seems
to have been kindly disposed by max
ing provision against the intense heat
and conserving the streams that run
steadily southwark from the vast
watershed that rolls down gently to
the railroad. Test behring's have dem
onstrated the existence of an abund-
ance of water all through this arid
section at depths varying from 40 to
80 feet and the railroad company is
going to try out the problem to the
satisfaction of the management be
