ANTl-MALARIAL WORK
INCREASINGLY SUCCESSFUL
Report of DR.. 7. W. M. Long for Year
1916 Shows Practical Elimination
Of Malaria in This Community
MINIMUM ABOUT REACHED

q The report of DR.. T. w. M
a Long, Health Officer, to the d
, rectors of the Roanoke Mill
Company, Patterson Mills Com
pany, Roanoke Rapids Powe
Company, and Halifax Pape
Cooperation, covering the anti
malarial work done during tn
year 1916, shows that even tn
gratifying results obtained il
former years have been surpass
ed during 1916. Part of the re
port follows:
I'VE have followed, as in for
mer years. as far as practicable
the directions of the United
States Publis Health Service in
the carrying on of this work.,
The results obtainedare even
greater than expected. The in
efficiency of the help in the mills
from malaria has been reduced
from 40 per cent befose any
eradicative measures to less thau
| per cent for the year, 1916"
The following is a compara-
tive statement taken from a
part of the district before and
after eradication"
1913 before eradicative meas
ures 1913 per cent infection;
1914 first year eradicative meas
ures 800 per cent infection; 1915
second year eradicative measures
1870 per cent infections; 1916
third year eradicative measures
15.O per cent infection. "
The census showed that out
of 500 people living in the four
blocks in which the cencus has
been taken that eighty people
had malarial chills during the
year, 1916, 65 of these gave his
tory of having had the disease
prior to 1916; in other words only |
fifteen people hab developed the
disease out of population of
500 during the year 1916. Owing
to the fact there has been added |
to our population a good many
people who have come from the
surrounding counties and where
there is no protection from in
fection of malaia, unquestionably
makes our ratio of infection nee
essarily larger.
The following tables show ex-
animation of blood smears from
the United States Public Health
Service:
1913 before eradicative meas
Tres l3. IS per cent infection;
1914 first year eradicative meas
Tres 4 4S per cent infection;
1915 second year eradicative
measures 3.5l per cent infection;
-9l6 third year eradictive meas
Tres l.5S per cent infection. ="
Respectfully yours,
T. w. M. LONG,
Health Officer.
The work during 1916 cost
slightly over 81, 10000 and was
)orne entirely by the corporations
lamed above, While started
purely as a welfare movement,
dr. S. F. Patterson, manager of
he Roanoke Mills Company,
tates that it ranks high as a
lividend producing proposition in
increased efficiency of employees
nd that the results obtained are
worth many times the money ex-
'ended, and this work is being
onducted even more thoroughly s
his year than in 1916.
