1t was from Porto Rico that Ponce

been brought under control and made
to cause a much smaller annual NOR
tality.
I. Malaria is another of. the diseases
that has been for years sapptng the
strength and taking the lives or the
people. For there are SUFFICIENT areas
of still waters to breed mosquitoes and
the living habits of the people have in
vited infection. Now the forces under
DR. Ortiz are working first to drain
the marsh lands where the mosquito
larvae are developed and to bring
about the use of mosquito bars over
the sleeping people.
This is strikingly similar to the
hookworm problem, an infected soil, so
to speak, and q settled habit combirh-
ing to cause cyclic infection. Most or
the jibaros, the peasant people, i've
in thatched flimsy huts, which can
not be screened even IL the means
were available. They sleep, as rule.
in hammocks, the screening OF which
is difficult. So the task OF the sani-
tartan, who is fighting the jibaro's bat
tie for him is rendered difficult by his
own situation.
In the coastal towns malaria is much
more prevalent than in the hills,
where the mosquito does not thrive.
The draining of the still waters where
tnc larvae DIeeu Is III many
cases, but persistent work Is being
pressed, and confident hope is felt that
in this direction also marked gains
will soon be made.
Venereal diseases are being fought
through the clinics and In other ways.
Typhoid fever occasionally de-
velops in the island, but is immediate
ly attacked, it's cause traced ana
cured, and the spread checked.
In the same way bubonic plague,
spread by infected rats, is not per
mitted to find lodgment, a campaign
being constantly under way against
the germ bearers and every case be-
ing promptly isolated. During the
fiscal year 1924 not a single death
occurred from this cause.
The Rockefeller Foundation has
done much for the betterment of Porto
Rico's health. 1t has been for long

Chiefly Affects Hill Peonle

Before l leave the hookworm and its
discoVerer | should explain that this
disease prevails almost exclusively in
the rural districts: that it is especially
prevalent among the coffee pickers of
the hills; that in the days of it's un-
checked prevalence the working pow
er of these people was cut down at
least one-half, and thus the prosperity
of Porto Rico was leSsened in pro-
portion. The sugar workers and the
tobacco workers-in fact, all classes
of agricultural laborers-became in
time affected, and their labor values,
too. were reduced. Porto Rico has
lost countless millions of dollars in
depleted labor power from the hook
worm. And SO the conquest of this
disease means countless millions of
value to the island.
The man who today is conducting
the administrative fight against un-
cinariasis. as we'll as other diseases in
Porto Rico, and is at the same time
administering ali sanitary works, is
DR.. Ortiz, the commissioner of health.
To mention him second to Dr. Ash
ford is merely in consequence of the
chronology of their works. For DR..
ortiz is serving Porto Rico today with
the highest devotion and the greatest
skill and is working marveis to cure
the island of its ills.
1t would seem that in a compare
lively small and a compact community
like Porto Rico, with unstinted fresh
air and the possibility of perfect drain
age over the greater part of the area,
disease should not prevail. But to-
Gays Porto Rico is suffering from the
Ills of the past, ills that We're due in
the main to the universal ignorance

tuberculosis is surprisingly preva-

insular authorities is against this in
sidious enemy. l am not going to give
any vital statistics" This is a suf-
ficiently unpleasant article in its re.
cital of facts that must be told with
out going into gruesome figures. But
can say that despite recent gains in
the tuberculosis rate of prevalence,
the tide has been turned. This is due
to two important works undertaken

they were wont to take their sick,
who were greatly helped by the

After Ponce started on his long
search for the tabled fountain of
youth tire Spanish settlers found

variety OF ailments, chiefly rheuma-
tism and gout. 1t is located in a
lovely valley. The baths are solidly
built, with great tubs of marble, said
to have BEEN ouarried on the island.
The water is please ntly hot and Is
not malodoOus, as are many spa
waters. A quaint hotel built about a
century ago, still attracts many tour
lists and sufferers from maladies for
which hot mineral baths are pre-
scribed.
At San Juap is located the School of
Tropical Medicine, a branch Of the
University of Porto Rico, under the
auspices of the Columbia University.
1t is at present housed, as stated. in
the Pink Palace. A new home is bein

feet drainage systems are being sought

of only 1000, 900 annually, with
urgent needs for schools and krriga-

the fight against disease, the depart
ment of health and sanitation does not

None Of the departments gets as much
