HOOKWORM PERll. PROVE Dill’iCULT T0 EXTERMINATF. Few Diseases as Easy ‘0 Cure but Reinfection 13 Very General. The hookworm family has three or four branches and all prosperous. writes J. R. E. in the World's Health. Literally like the sand on the sea.- shore for multitude their race covers subtropical zones. Adventurous mem- bers of the family have been found in Belgium and even in Cornwall. England. The United States posses- ses a large and erstwhile flourishing colony. New Zealand has reported many individuals, but the true home of the hookworm is in the hot coun~ tries of Asia. Africa and America. More than half the human popula- tion of the world live in. hookworm infested territory and—ls it by co- incidence?—neariy all the "back- The success of the hookworm in the struggle for existence has becn won at the expense of man and other animals. especially dogs and cats. The grown-up worms live in the human intestine. hanging on to its delicate walls each with his or her four hooks from which the family takes its name. The average family. not counting the offspring. consists of Mr. Hookworm and three wives. The offspring are not counted be- cause they are innumerable. 1n the descriptive language of the late Sir Patrick Manson the female produces a. prodigious and never-ending stream of cggs which pass out with the hu- man dcjccta and are disposed of with the sewage. They are spread over the soil in countries like China, where there is no drainage system, and in are always many millions near the surface of the land. It has born the surface. The baby hookworm is only one-fifth of n. millimetre ions: whereas his parents measure 1111;.- times that length. But he grows u“ and is \eu Even after eighteen months alive and ready to i'lll’Jr a. human host. Even aft” sunshine and frost many little larim: “‘le survive. Like the typhoid bani- dirty hands on the food that handle or in impure drinking water. ' but unlike this bacillus he can also) work his way through the skin. In‘ the end he always arrives at the same place. the human intestine. and prooeeds to gorge himself with hll‘l man blood. As he grows he duel-l ops n special poison which prevents} the blood from coagulating. This makes it easier for him to teed anrl incidentally is worse for his host. fol when the worm moves on to new pasture the old wounds continue for some little time to ooze wonder the victims look pale, rm. intelligence. The man. woman or child rain! dies of this complaint Crircctl‘. though death in some few cases m1; follow before many months. Mow often a lifeless existence is droncd away until some other disease comes to end the sickness. If death “'C’rt' quicker and more dramatic it is ccr- tnin that hookworm disease would tank in the public imagination with tuberculosis and cancer as one of the great curses of humanity. As it is. there are few who have heard that more than half of the 300,000,000 inhabitants of India. are suffering to- day from this disease. that in the mines of China the Rockefeller com- mission has found an infection rat-.1 of about 90 per cent. race. Few diseases are as easy to cure and in none is the ultimate triumph of man more certainly ss- sured. But the curative side of the cam- paign is not the most important. It is not uncommon to find that other I. year more than half the 'cures' less than the practical extermina- tion of this vicous worm must be our object. It will not be easy. The solution of the problem of deal- ing with human excreta in China. has yet to be found. Even when sanitation has been radically en- forced. as in many areas where Like Similar United States Date. _..___.'_ Ambassador Herrick has laid: “The 1,400,000 men killed, the 8,- 400,000 men mobilized. and then to: departments of France invaded and practically devastated would mean proportionately tor the Uni States 4,200,000 men killed, 25 mil on men mobilized (our state (among the richest and most industrial) invaded . and partially devastated."
