ties to recommend prompt examination

Prevalence of hookworm was found
by DR.. Charles Wardell Stiles, of
the Public Health Service, et a
government reservation. where he was
making experiments. Complaint by a
recruit Of not feeling we'll after Off
GERS suspected him of trying to shirk
his duty resulted in medical exsmi-
nation. Hookworm infection was
found
DR.. Stiles has reported to the Pub
lie Health Service that failure to treat
hookworm cases undoubtedly will re-
suit in unjust and preventable pun
ishment of soldiers for offences due
to remediable conditions. Danger of
n widespread epidemic of hookworm In
Europe is pointed out, if even light
cases are sent TO the trenches.
American soldiers will not take the
hookworm to France if the Medical
Corps can prevent it. Every recruit
from the "hookworm belt" is being
subjected to the most careful inspec-
ton, and every infected man will be
treated before being sent out Of the
country.
