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.

I
juries received when he was struck
' by the Southbound train near the

that he was knocked down against

ed against the embankment.

tended as fur as his right eye. No
