Washington, Jan. Uncle Sans
health patrol is catching it's breath
on New Years day in anticipation of
the biggest years work 1t mas ever
undertaken. The summary of the last
az months work, prepared in the head
quarters of the public health service
here. contains a record of heroic ngnts
against disease. concerted opposition TO
the invasion of foreign maladles ana
excursions into new fields of medical
exp,oration which has had no equal
in the history of the federal health
organization.
Trained experts working under the
directions of Surgeon General Rupert
Blue and Assistant Surgeon General
Rucker have during the last year COW
cred every nook and corner OF the
country. routing out unknown DIS
eases. cleaning up infected places,
teaching communities and individuals
how to guard against disease and pro-
tecting the American public against
disease immigrants, itinerant car
riers" of disease. unhealthful sur
roundings, infected rats and polluted
drinking water.
From the mountains OF Kentucky,
where two field hospitals and dlspen-
saries are teaching the mountain peo-
nle how to combat pellagra, to the
waterfronts of San Francisco and
Seattle. where experts are helping
state authorities in their fight to pre-
vent the carrying OF. plague germs oy
rats and squirrels, the public health
service has pushed its activities into
MANY unusual fields and has operated
with state and municipal ofnclals 10
improve sanitary conditions and lessen
public danger. Much Of the research
work for the health service is done
in the hygienic laboratory in Wash
ineton. In the search for the means
by which infantile paralysis is trans
mttted the experts there succeeded
during the last year in carrying germs
from one monkey to another by the
bite of a stable fly. But where this
succeeded once it failed on all other
attempts. and the public health ser
vice is still working on the problem
of coping with this disease.
Pollution of rivers and the attendant
dangers to communities close to them
is under investigation In the valleys
of the Missouri, Ohio and Potomac. A
comprehensive investigation of pella-
gra is being directed from the marine
hospital at Savannah, Ca, and ma
Iaria is being closely studied at MO-
bile, Ala, to determine definitely the
means by which 1t is carried and the
methods best adapted to its suppress
sion. Practically every phase of san
itation is being studied and taught by
the public health service officials as
fast as funds permit. During the last
year each expert Of the service, no
matter on what work he might be
detailed, has been acting as travel
ing inspector of railway trains and

vessels and reporting any violations
of the interstate regulations governing
drinking cups, pure water, roller tow
els and the like.
Some of the more arduous tasks of
the service have been those connect
ed with the local suppression of cpl
denies and the attempts to stamp out
infectious diseases.
over $4,000 Indians on reservations in
25 states were examined during di-
rection of the public health service
during the last year to determine the
prevalence of trachoma and consump-
ton. More than % per cent. of the
Indians were found TO be suffering
from trachoma and drastic measures
have been recommended by the health
officers to meet the situation.
