•ub)erted ta danger from this soure#
Dr. Carter, whoa# work tn Panama
mad# him famous, found a family on
the outskirts of Ramherg whose actual
losses in expense of illness and idle
time in a single year totalled $150, not
counting suffering and other factors.
There were others in the low grounds
almost as bad off and the people of
the town decided that they could not
afford such a menace. Dr. Carter told
them that in his experience he had
found malaria to do more damage to
the whole population where it exists
than any of the great epidemic dis
eases that the layman looks on with
such horror—yellow fever, bubonic
plague, etc. By public subscriptoin
the people raised a fund of $15,000,
practically $5 per capita which was
duplicated from other sources by the
cooperating organizations and the
work put under way.
A topographical survey of the town
and adjacent territory was made and
every pool, pond and swamp defined
and marked for drainage. Thirty
miles of ditches will be required and
the work ’ is already well advanced.
The United States public health ser-
ice. whiclf**upervisea the work, learned
much during the war about making*
camp sites moaquito free by drainage j
and these lessons are bring put into i
practice for the benefit wf the civil >
