Col. Bailey X. Ashford, Army Medical
Corps a native of Washington and a
graduate OF Georgetown University,
was placed on the retired list yesterday
after 30 years distinguished service. 1t
was Col. Ashford's work in Porto Rico,
where he was stationed during the
Spanish American War. which led to
the discovery of hookworrn disease In
the Southern States and formed the
basis for successful eradication cam
paigns.
Following the San .Ciriaco hurri-
cane of August 8. 1899. and while he
was stationed at San Juan. Col Ash
ford cared for many civilians who had
been Frustrated with tropical anemia. u
Discovered in 1899.
For generations that disease had
been widespread among the Porto
Ricans and was the direct cause Of
much loss of life. It's cause was un-
known. and all treatment had been
without avail After careful research
Col. Ashford reported on November "a
1899. that tropical anemia" was pro-
duced by an infestation with hook
worm 1t was determined that the
parasite was. new species. when
ultimately was named Necator Aneri-
canus. Col. Ashford's work was OF the
greatest Importance not only to Porto
Rico but also to the United States.
In 1904 Col Ashford was appointed
president Of board for the study OF
hookworm disease in Porto Rico. known
as the Porto Rico Anemia Commission
From 1904 to 1910 the commission
treated approximately 100000 persons,
nearly one-third the population OF Por-
TO Rico. for hookworm. The result
Is shown by It's effect on the death
rate from all causes. which decreased
from 80 per 1000 per year prior tc
1904 to 81 per 1000 In 1910.
Published Studies.
In 1915 Col. Ashford published a
series of studies showing that the dis
e2se known as sprue was caused by
a fungus. Sprue Is prevalent in many
tropical regions and affects particu-
larly the white race. Col. Ashford's
discovery of the cause has made pos
sible many improvements in the meth
DDS and treatment
In the World War. Col. Ashford
