HOOKWORM DISEASE. What It Is and How Caused, as Told by Those Who Know. (Conclude! from last week). HOW THE DISEASE AFFECTS A PERSON The patient may be very thin or may be bloated or dropsical. When patients have lost flesh and become very weak they often imajpne that they have consumption. If they become bloated they believe them*4Hrlnou trnil. 5C1VC3 tUC VlUlllXld Ui niuuvj v? v? ble". It is a common thing for hookworm patients to suffer for years with what they call "consumption", "kidney trouble", "heart disease", "dropsy", "dyspepsia" or "malaria". These imaginary troubles vanish like magic when the patient has been treated for a few weeks, and will not return if the conditions surrounding the home are what they should be. The symptoms outlined above are those found in severe cases of the disease. In a mild case of the disease the child may be full grown for his age,and his color may be good. The only evidence of disease is indigestion or an occasional ' * J ' - *- " ? tAMAM f ko + neaaacne. it is m uicsc taaco men we must use a microscope to make a diagnosis. Some persons imagine that hookworm disease is found only among the poorer people. This is not true. The disease recognizes no social barriers. It is found among rich and poor and high and low. If people go barefooted or wear leaky shoes where there are no sanitary closets, they will continue to have hookworm disease. IS THERE A CURE? The disease can be easily cured except in the extreme cases. There is no danger in taking the medicine to expel the worms, provided the directions of a physician are followed. If the disease is mild, it may be cured with two doses of medicine given a week apart. Severe cases require four or five doses. Improve ment usually laKes piace as soon at the treatment is completed and sometimes before. There is no other disease which is cured so quickly. In children, the improvement is extremely rapid. In a few weeks the child is transformed from a sallow, weak individual to a rosy-cheeked child full of energy. In older peisons the changes are not so marked. If a grown person has had the disease since childhood and is severely infected.he can be greatly improved but the ear-marks of the disease are always there In one of our coast counties a boy seventeen years of age was so severely infected that he was unable to walk over half a mile without resting. A week after treatment he walked four miles and is now enjoying good health. Often I have seen men so ill with the disease that they could do nothing which required any more exertion than chewing tobacco or fishing. A few dnsps of medicine would enable these men to follow a plow all day or to do other hard work. Think of the many persons in our State who are now leading a life of misery on account of this disease! Sometimes the disease kills, more 'often it weakens the system so that the person dies of typhoid fever, pneumonia or some other disease. If these people could be cured and could earn wages and pay taxes how much the revenue of your county and of the State at large would be increased! These people are new consumers. Let us cure them so that they may become producers. We need no drones in our hive. There is work for every man, woman and child to do. We are spending thousands of dollars each year to educate our children, and we should spend much more, but many of these chil dren cannot learn, inis is riot laziness; it is because they are sick with .hookworm disease or something ielse. It is time for us to stop the economic leak. It has been going on too long. Of the 10,000 school children examined in this State last year (in rural schools) less than 20% were absolutely healthy. Many had hookworm disease, throat disease, eye disease and other diseases of a more or less serious nature requiring medical attention. About 75% of them had carious teeth. We are trying to force these children to learn when they are unable to do proper work because of their physi ' ca". condition. In hookworm disease the child is usually dull and ad-! ' vances slowly in school. Is it cheaper to have these children cured or let them go untreated and perhaps, . die before they are grown? Hookworm disease is n ot a new I disease. It has been in this country for several generations but has only recently been recognized. HOW TO GET RID OF THE DISEASE First, every person with the disease should be treated, Second, there should be no soil polution. If you have an unsanitary privy you should make it sanitary,that is,make it fly proof by putting flaps on the the seat and on the rear. Buckets or other receptacles should be used I nnrl kpnt clean. If vou have no privy, build one. There are several types of privies which can be used. Write the State Board of Health, Columbia, S C, for information. If a sanitary privy costs $100 it would be cheap. It will prevent not only hookworm disease but it will lessen the number of cases of typhoid fever, and diarrhea or "summer complaint." What do these diseases cost you every year? A sanitary privy is cheaper than a coffin. If you have hookworm disease you should be treated. If your neighbor has it, see that he is treat, ed. You are your brother's keeper. Every person who has hookworm disease is in danger to others every time he pollutes fhe soil. If you are pale and puny you may have hookworms. If you wish to know, write to the State Board of > Health, Columbia, S C, for a mail' ing case. In this you can send a ' a specimen for examination, which will cost you nothing. If you have the disease, it is easy to cure. If ' you haven't it, no harm is done. ' Remember that it is no disgrace to i have hookworms. It is a disgrace to keep them, Will you write for - o ' a mailing case. I A physician of the State Board of ' Health will be at the following places on the dates specified to tell you if you have kookworm disease, and if you do have it to give you medicine free to cure you: Lambert, every Tuesday; Greelyville, every Wednesday;Morrisville, every Thursday; Gourdin, every Friday; Kingstree, (jury room, court house) every Saturday. Dates effective from July 4 until August 10. What Makes a Woman? One hundred and twenty pounds, more or less, of bone and muscle don't make a woman. It's a good foundation. Put into it health and strength and she may rule a kingdom. But that's just what Electric Bitters erive her. Thousands bless them for overcoming fainting and dizzy spells and for dispelling weakness, nervousness, backache and tired, listless, worn-out feeling. "Electric Bitters have done me a wcrld of good," writes Eliza Pool, Depew.Okla, "and I thank you, with all my heart,for making such a good medicine." Only 50c. Guaranteed by M L Allen. Lake City Bank Grows. At a meeting of the stockholders of the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Lake City held there last week, it was decided to adopt a resolution of the directors to increase the capital stock of the bank from 850,000 to $100,000 and to open a branch of the ! bank at Johnsonville. It was stated in the meeting that practically all of the new stock had been subscribed, and by parties who are not now in- 1 terested in the bank. This increase of capital will place J this bank in point of capital stock ( by far in the lead of any of the banks in that section, and enable it to meet the demands of the growing interests of the community. 5 or 6 doses 666 will break any case of chills and fever; it acts on , the liver better than calomel, and , does not gripe or sicken. 25c. 6-23-4 m m m m i The numerous high monuments to J unfortunate aviators will soon oe in the way of the airships.
