1t is realized that every case de-
tected and cured during this campaign
lessons the number of cases that
would develop during the next few
years, since it is regarded as almost
impossible to prevent the disease
from spreading when once introduced
into a community. This is said to be
due to the great number OF eggs laid
by the worms, and the longevity or
the larvae in open air under the fav-
orable conditions afforded in all sub
tropical countries.
DR.. Fly again calls attention to the
fact that no publication of names OF
persons will be permitted without the
consent of the individual, and every
one is invite dto visit the hookworm
dispensary in the courthouse any
day. DR.. Fly's assistant will give in
struction for preparing specimens for
examination, show photographs and
parasites and provide literature bear
ing on the cause, effect and cure OF
the disease.
No charge is made for the examina-
ton, nor for treatment, the expense
being borne by the state and county.

DR.. Fly Reports Finding
Only 20 Cases as Result
of 1000 Examinations.
TWO CURED QUICKLY
Two Treatments Sufficient to Eject
Complete Cures-Specialist Says
Few Cases Require Four
Treatments.

The percentage of hookworm in
lection in Jefferson county is only
about 2 per cent, according to the
result of an investigation made by Dr.
T. NJ. Fly, who reports making nearly
1000 examinations and finding TWEEN
ty cases of infection. Two of these
have been cured by two treatments
and all others will be given treat
ment once a week until cured, or I'M
til the end of the campaign or
April Is. DR.. Fly states that few
cases require more than three treat
ment sto effect cures.
Despite the low percentage of in
lection, interest in the work appears
TO be increasing. Many physicians
and hundreds of laymen are submit
ting specimens from members Of
their own families for examination.
