This disease is caused by a small
worm which lives in the small intestine
or bowel.
The worm when full grown is
about a half inch in length, and as
big around as a pin. It is of a dirty,
white color. Cut No. 1 shows the
worm as it appears to the eye. Cut
No. 2 shows the worm greatly mag- j
nified; as it appears under the micro- i
scope.
These worms lay eggs. These j
eggs are too small to be seen by the;
naked eye. Under the microscope j
they look like this .(see cut No. 4.)
Each female worm may lay over a;
thousand eggs in a day. They do j
not hatch in the bowel. These eggs j
pass out with the bowel movement I

and get on the ground. Here, in a j
week or two, one worm hatches out i
of each egg.. In hot weather the i
worm may hatch out in one day. i
These young hookworms are called
embryos. These little worms live in
the dirt and grow for two or three
days more. They get ready to case
their skin again and in this stage
they are called encysted embryos, j

be in a capsule. They are too |

but they are there nevertheless. They !
can be felt. Let any barefooted person
walk on soil which is polluted; j
that is, contains body discharges
and in a few moments there is a
stinging sensation on the feet. Later;
this gets worse and in a few hours;
time the skin between the toes and

on top of the foot is red and swollen.
The itching is intense and the desire
to scratch is irresistable. In other

then how these little w/arms may be

Although these worms are very healt

These worms shortly after entering

That's what makes you feel old.
