BOOK-WORM TREATMENT Is Now Offered Free in Williamsburg County. Hookworm is a very old disease and has existed in this country a great many years.but was not known to e> :st in our Southern States until ten ir twelve years ago. It is very very prevalent in the counties in the lower part of South Carolina and the 1 percentage is also high in the moun- j tain counties. In the center of the State the percentage is low. In Williamsburg county 77 per cent of the white rural school children have this \Tnnv of these cases are of v* _ _ a very mild form, and the physical j symptoms of the disease may not be | apparent to the eye, yet the cases may later assume the severe type, J and they must always be reckoned with as carriers of the disease. The I negro is not found 10 have the disease in as great numbers as the j whites. This is also true of malaria. 1 We believe that the negro has had j hookworm disease and malaria for so many generations that he has established a natural immunity to these diseases. The opposite is true of tuberculosis. When a negro contracts this disease he usually lives 1 - '- -- A men on;} a iew .luumc. ....... may have tuberculosis and live for many years a constant menace to the lives of all- with whom he comes in contact. The hookworm is a small parasite inhabiting the small intestines of man. They often exist in great numbers and live by constantly sucking the blood of their victim. Lowered red blood cells means lowered resist* ance to disease and persons with hookworm dissase, even in a mild form, are more liable to contract other contagious and infectious diseases. Pellagra and tuberculosis are both found to exist in a good percentage of hookworm patients. That hookworm disease is allowed to exist in a community when the State of- j fers to treat the disease free of charge is largely due to ignorance of the nature of the disease. Ignorance of the value of sanitation on the premises of country homes and schools has caused the spread of the disease. The eggs of the hookworm require heat, moisture and air to enable them to hatch, and for this reason do not hatch in the intestine,but when they gain access to the soil they are washed by the rains into places where everything is suitable for the growth of the young hookworm. These young larvae are hatched in twenty-four hours and do Dot develop further till they get human blood. A person walking with bare feet in infected soil will get the tiny worms on his feet. "Ground itch" is the result. The itching is tn thp little worms.so small they can't be seen with the naked eye, pa-oing through the skin. Thence they get in the blood channels and finally find their way to the small intestine. There are many deaths in Williamsburg county each year due to th:s disease. A physician in this county stated this week that during the past year he had lost three young married women in one community with hookworm disease. Because of th? skepticism and prejudice existin? against hookworm disease in this community these women all refused to be treated. The intelligent citizens in every community should make an effort to get the less enlightened to be examined and treated for the disease while it is being done free of all charge by the State. If a man feels sure that neither he nor any member of his family has the disease, as a duty to his county and his community he should have his family exam ined, anyway. By so doing ne oiten influences severely infected patients *c be treated. It is especially desired tbat cases be treated before the disease nas had such disastrous effect that everybody in the neighborhood is aware of it. We frequently have a man with one child severely infected. This case is treated, yet he n??ver has the others in the family examined. So long as there is one case in a neighborhood, all persons, especially those who go barefooted, are exposed. We hope to put a letter and specimen boxes in the home of every family in Williamsburg county. Already one thousand letters have been sent out to white sohool patrons. There are, unfortunately.many families in the county where the children never go to school and no member of the family can read or write. We appeal to all good citizens to help us in this work. By so doing you will not only be protecting your Gwn family from disease but will be. fplninir to improve the health of Williamsburg county and making it 7=T] ALLEN'S bf FOOT-EASE i The Antiemetic powder shaken into FeeTfot?'quarter.

SCHOOL CLOSING AT SALTERS. Hon. L. J. Browning Commence* men! Orator. Salters Depot, May 25: ?The closing exercises of Salters High and Public school were held May 14 and 15. Thursday night a play, "Miss Topsy Turvy," was given by the pupils of the high school department and was very much enjoyed by all. Delightful music was furnished by Prof Silverman of Kingstree -on the violin with his able corps of assistants. Friday night, a play, "Too Much of a Good Thing," was Riven by the intermediate pu-1 pils with songs and drills by the primary, essays by the graduates, delivery of diplomas and address by Hon Lowndes J Browning of Union. The exercises were enjoyed very much by the large crowd present. The session just closed is one of great progress in the school under efficient teaching and management of the principal, Miss Leila B Ferguson and her assistant, Miss Mary B Hey ward. Too much praise cannot be given them for the faithful discharge of their duties, as was shown in the excellent work of the pupils. The trustees are to be congratulated on securing these teachers' services for another term. The Ladies' Missionary society of Union Presbyterian church has recently added to the comfort and ap- , pearance of the church by a pretty new carpet.

Do the riffht thintf at the rieht time. Act quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger Doan's Kidney Pills are most effective. Plenty of evidence of their worth. W R White, S Boundary St, Manning, S C, says: At one time my kidneys were so weak that I had bot little control over the kidney secretions. I suffered constantly from backache and pains across my loins, and mornings I was so lame and sore that it was hard for me to dress. If I sat down for a little while, I had to lift myself by main force. Nothing ever helped me until I used Doan's Kidney Pills. They restored my kidneys to a normal condition and removed all the symptoms of the complaint. I can confirm the statement I gave some years ago regarding Doan's Kidney Pills. I use them occasionally and they always help me."' Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr White had.
