DR.. w. P. Robinson, a repre-
sentative of the State Board of
Health, is now making a survey
of the county to determine the
amount of hookworm infection in
the county. The object of max
ing this preliminary survey is to
establish free dispensaries in the
county it there is enough infec-
ton found to justify the same.
Alcorn county, Miss, bordering
McNairy on the south, has been
worked and a heavy infection
found there. 1t is believed there
are just as many cases in Me
Marry county as in Aleorn coun-
ty. We trust that our people
will not be slow to accept the
suggestions and follow the direc-
tions of the state officials in their
labors for the good of our peo-
pie in the investigation of this
important subject.

Aubrey, Johns son.. took us in his

where two most excelltnt Methodist

were many mines dotted here and

Gov. Hooper has called a spe-

meet Monday, Oct. IA, to act on
the law enforcement bills. AS
nothing else is in the call save
some legislation necessary to
carry out the debt funding act,
the body must act on the enforce
ment laws. The majority are
for them. There can be no more

spensible aid in the conduct of the
work, Without this aid the results
given above could not have been ac-
complished.
Cooperation Of the People
After all has been said the cooper
alton that counted most is the CO.
operation Of the the common man.
The real purpose Of the dispensary
is to carry the gospel of sanitation
into the homes of the people and
make it a part Of their daily lives.
The most effective teacher in a
community is that neighbor who has
been treated. He takes his own spec
linen to the dispensary; through the
microscope he sees the eggs in his
own stool, as part of the dispensary
exhibit he sees the squirming embryo
of the parasite that has destroyed his
own vitality; he takes the treatment,
he feels the pulse of a new life, he
brings his family and his neighbors
to the next dispensary, he carries the
news of cures, he creates communi.
ty sentiment which expresses itself in
better laws and becomes the basis OF
permanent sanitary reform.

Cooperation of Physicians

The physicians have given more ef-
fective cooperation this year than
ever before. They have prepared for
the dispensary work, they have urged
the people toIbe examined, collected
specimens, brought them into the
dispensary for examination, and su-
pervised the treatment of their peo-
pie. They have aided the microscope
without compensation, have given
lectures at dispensaries and at schools,
have taken charge of the dispensary
exhibit and kept it working through
out the day.
In no respect has the work shown
more encouraging growth this year
than in the cooperation of many
agencies whose work cannot be tabu-
lated-the press, the ministers (the
writer has bean invited to the pulpit
for a short address before the OPEN
ing Of services), the county boards of
health and county officers, county
boards of supervisors. state depart

Hookworm Eradication

Hookworms were discovered in Italy
by DR.. Dubini in 1888. The physi-
clans in the United States never
thought there was any hookworm in
fection in this country until 1892,
when DR.. Stiles, of the United States
Public Health and Marine Hospital
Service, discovered hookworms about
half an inch long about the size of
a broom straw. They live in the
bowel, suck blood from the mucous
membrane, inject poison into the
circulation and lay eggs. These eggs
hatch in the soil and if they get on
the feet of barefoot boy or girl
this boy or girl gets infected. as we
will show presently.
The life Of these little parasites is
about ten years.
How the Worm Gets Into the Body
The worms do not multiply in the
body, but the adult females deposit
great numbers Of eggs WHICH are
passed out with the normal bowel
movement. In the course of about
"a hours these eggs hatch. Now the
young hookworm gets into the bowel
in one of three ways-Q) by getting
on the feet of the bare foot and crawl
ing through the skin, then floating
along with the blood to the lungs,
then crawling through the wall of the
air cell and getting into the air in the
lungs, now they are coughed up into
the throat and swallowed; the worm
in this stage is too small to be seen
with the natural eye; (2) by eating the
worm in some article of food; (3) by
drinking the young worm with water.
The young worm can be carried on
the feet of flies and deposited on some
food if flies get to our food.
One child in public school can
give the disease to other children in
the school by pollutiug the soil about
the school, i. e. by failing to use the
privy, and a great number of our
country schools have no privy at ALL
Symptoms
The symptoms produced vary with
the intensity of the infection and the
condition of the patient. Some peo-
pie are more able to resist the inva-
sion of any disease than others, and
this resisting power of the individual
determines, to a large extent. the in.
tensity of the symptoms produced
4,600 worms is the greatest number
ever expelled by one person. In such
a case one would naturally expect

VOLUME XII.

The notorious Tennessee legis-
lature adjourned the call session
Saturday night at the expiration
Of the legal life, twenty days.
There were passed innumerable
private bills, but the laws they
were called to pass were relegat-
ed to the junk heap, by means of
the most arbitrary and unparlia-

before in a legislative body. The
whole fight was on the bills af-
fecting the sale Of liquor and the
enforcement Of the present liquor
