A BenefactOr For Humanity

After careful investigation OF
the prevalence Of kookworm and Of
the ease with which this affection
Of humanity is treated, The Jour-
nal wishes to add its highest COM
incubation to the good work that
is being done in this particular by
the Rockefeller foundation. This
benefaction Of the Oil King is in
deed one that deserves the approval
Of every thoughtful citizen OF Lee
county and every citizen in this
aud other states where the rayages
Of the hookworm are manifest.
The lecture recently given here
should serve to aid in giving relief
to many who are afflicted with this
disease; Those who have reason
to think that they have the disease
are doing themselves a grave inlus-
tice in falling to have themselves
properly examined. There is very
little time required for the exami-
nation, and ordinarily the exami-
nation alone is sufficient to deter
mine whether or not one is sufe.-
ing from the disease.
We are glad that Mr.. Rockefeller
has given aid to this valuable
work. The first announcements
made relativetothe hookworm were
greeted lh ridicule in many parts
Of the codntry, but today all intel
ligent people have come to realize
that the hookworm is no myth but
a terrible reality. 1t is the pant Of
the wise and thoughtful people to
avail themselves Of this benefaction
The Journal expresses the hope
that the people Of Lee county will
do so.
