Hookworm Disease For the past twenty years much 1 has been done and more said eon- i cerning the control of hookworm disease and still it is estimated by var- ' ious statisticians that at least thirty 1 per cent of the people living in the sand hill sections of the state are infested. Tho disease is caused by a small worm, whitish in color, not quite a half inch and about us thick as a small hair pin, which live in th? bowels of human beings. It Is spread ' by a person harboring the worms allowing the bowel discharge to fall upon the ground either for the luck of a privy or the use of one not properly madet The worms in the I bowels lay hundreds of small eggs i and these are passed with the bowel 1 discharges. Under favorable condi- , tions as to temperature and moisture ' the eggs hatch out tiny worms in one or several days; these worms feed, shed their skin twice in about a week then stop feeding and are ready for a chance to enter the human body. 1 Ihis they do by boring through 1 the skin causing a swelling which 1 itches and is conntionly called ground itch since it usually is found on the feet and toes. This constitutes the ' first stage of hookworm disease. The young worms continue to bore into the body and finally get into the blood which carries them to the heart and lungs; from the lungs they get into the throat, and finally pass into the bowels, where they grow much larger. the chief symptoms of hookworm disease are pale lips and gums, pasty yellow color of the skin, swelling of the abdomen and sometimes of the feet and legs. The patient's mind is dull and he has no energy to do anything. He often desires unusual things to eat and often the sick persons even eat dirt, clay, etc. The growth of a child is stunted, and the progress in school is retarded. The method of diagnosis is examining the bowel discharges with a microscope. The Health Department or your physician will do this for you and in cases found positive appropriate treatment will be given, says Dr. A. \V. Humphries, Director, Kershaw ( ounty Health Department. .Charged \V ith White Slavery Columbia.?Charged with white slavery as the result of his carrying a Columbia girl to Wilmington, N.
