Scores OF an9mics told Dr. Rose that they
could do no better than 100. 200 or 80

managers OF number OF large hacIendas
gave him information which led him TO
conclude that the disease had reduced the
average efficiency OF the labor on these
plantations more than 50 per cent. Dr.
william VI Mcdonald reported that the
disease is "sapping the life and energy OF

that the efficiency OF the 800 laborers was
only one-third what IT should be. owing
to the anama caused by the hookworm
disease and chronic malaria. Similar re-
ports as to heavy reduction OF working
efficiency came from British Guiana, Co
lombia, Ceylon. the Malay States and
elsewhere
Even more paralyzing than the effect
