To know how to prevent getting hook

every one. BY understanding how the

worms and that his health is raining.
The eruption is identical with what
we see so often in the summer and
call "ground itch," or "toe itch" This
is the beginning of hookworm disease.
Hookworm disease then is usually con-
tracted by those who go barefoot in
warm weather, where the soil is damp
and where human excrement, which
is laden with the eggs of the hook
worms, in some way has been scat
tered. Only a few hours are required
for the eggs to hatch, and within a
week the little larvae or worms are
ready to bore into the skin and pro-
duce ground itch.
They are too small to be seen with
the naked eye. but when they get
into the bowels they grow rapidly
and soon reach a size sufficient for
them to be easily recognized by the
unaided eye. Persons have been
treated who unsuspectingly were car
