Public Health
Service Hospitals
Curb Trachoma

The establishment OF small trachoma
hospitals In localities where this con-
tagious disease OF the eyes Is pre-
valent presents the best solution of
the trachoma problem, according to
the statement contained in the annual
report OF the Surgeon General OF the
United States Public Health Service.
The service now has five trachoma
hospitals In the three States of Ken
lucky. Virginia and West Virginia,
and so great has been the number OF
applicants for treatment that a wait
ing list has been established. In the
past fiscal year 1900 cases of
trachoma have been treated, the
larger proportion of which were
cured while those IN which a cure
was not effected have been greatly i'm
proved and rendered harmless to their
associates. The great majority of these
trachoma patients were people who
lived in remote sections far removed
from medical assistance, and who, but
for the hospital care and treatment
provided. would have remained vic
tins of the disease practically the re-
mainder of their lives.
when II Is considered" the re-
port Of the service states that thou
sands OF persons suffering with
trachoma, dangerous. contagious
dis ase, would otherwise remain un-
treated, IL realized how far-reach-
ing results have been obtained
through these trachoma hospitals and
the other public health work done in
this connection. 1t would be impos-
s.ble to estimate with any degree OF
accuracy the number of people who
have been saved from contracting this
communicable disease by thus re-
moving these thousands OF focil of in
lection"
In addition TO treating persons with
the disease the hospitals have been
used for educational work. Doctors
and nurses have visited the homes OF
the patients and have explained how
to prevent the development and re-
currence of the disease One thousand
three hundred and eight such visits
were made during the year in Ken
lucky alone 1T has taken some
time" the report continues, ito edu-
cate the people afflicted with this dis

urae IN their daily life" That results
have been obtained is evidenced by the
noticeably better observance OF n.y.
Rienic precautions by those among
whom the work has been done.
In addition to the hospital work,
surveys were made In sixteen CO mites
In Kentucky especially among school
children. Eighteen thousand and six
teen people were examined, per cRnt
being found TO have trachoma. Sim
liar Inspections in certain localities of
Arizona. Alabama and Florida result
ed in finding the disease present in
from three to six children out of
every hundred. Periodic examination
of school children for the disease and
the exclusion OF the afflicted from the
public schools are two of the recon-
the public health service
lays emphasis upon.
One of the special features of the
trachoma work was the giving of
lectures and clinics before medical So
cieties in various counties where
trachoma hospitals could not be es-
tablished Patients were operated
upon In the presence OF physicians and
the most modern methods OF treat
ment demonstrated. Throughout, the
purpose has been to stimulate local
interest in aking up the campaign to
eradicate trachoma-
