practically nothing was saved.
The flames spread with great

and occupied by w. a, Patrick

on fire. Then the dwelling of

800 EXAMINED IN SINGLE
DAY.
Lee County Hookworm Dis
pensary Most Remark
able Ever Held In
Virginia.

Richmond, Va, Aug. s.
What promises to lie the most
remarkable hookworm dispen.
sary ever operated in Virginia
~ now in full blast in Lee coun-
ty, according to reports receiv-
ed today by the State Board of
Health. Records have been es-
tablished which eclipse those of
any previous dispensaries in
Virginia and which will pro.
baby equal the best records
made in states where the infec.
ton is much moro general.
The dispensary in Lee county
is one Of n number being oper.
ated this summer in Southwest
Virginia under the direction of
the State Board of Health. DR..
w. y. Brumiield liz in charge,
and has with him n number of
trained microscopists to exam
inc those suspected of hook.
worm infection.
During the past week, which
was the third of the Lee coun-
ty dispensary, more than 5000
persons came for examination.
and during single days work
more than 500 persons were ex-
amined. This days examina-
lions are said to exceed those
made in any rural dispensary
ever held in the South.
The spectacle was enough
to make one open ones eyes
and wonder" said IN officer of
the Board OF Health who has
just returned from Lee county.
"As | came toward JOnesville
on the train, noticed that ut
every station near the county
seat, numbers of men came
aboard with specimens. In
the town there was evidence of
the greateat activity. Every
hltchlng pest was occupied,
the roads were crowded and
groups of mounted men were
arriving every few moments.
In one group saw more than a
dozen men who had driven for
miles to bring specimens from
their families.
"The examinations were be-
ing made in tho courthouse
which was crowded. Around
the tables where the micro
scopes were, men were banked
four deep waiting their turn.
We had only four men al work
aud could not hurry with the
work, yet we noticed that no.
body went away. Patiently
they waited for hours and did
not leave until they had re-
ceived the report and treatment
if the finding showed hook
worm disease. From eight in
the morning until dark our
microscopists worked without
leaving their seats.
"From present indications,
DR.. Brumtield and his assistants
will examine more than 5000
people in Lee county. setting a
new mark for the entire State.
This is splendid tribute TO the
intelligent and public spirit OF
the citizens of Lee county, who
have showed an amazing inter
est in the work. A more de-
termined, earnest gathering
was never seen than at the
dispensary."
