Everybody should come? Take advantage of this opportunity, while it lasts, and see if
you have any of these diseases. If you have, medicines will be given you that will
bring about a wonderful change in both your feeling and your health. Instead of being
a tired, indolent and despondent kind of man you will be changed into one with a bright
and active body and mind, who goes about his work with arush and a vim, always finding
pleasure in everything. I Remember these Medical Dispensaries will be in
Halifax county but tour weeks. Each one only open one day in the week. Below you
will find both the dates and the places at which these free Medical Dispensaries will be
open. Dr. Piatt W. Covington, of the North Carolina Board of Health, assisted by Mr.
Connor, State Microscopist, will be in attendance at each Dispensary.

that i UlQTfinY Tl'is disease is one of lite most ancient in medical1
,mi ; illulUnii history. Moses, no doubt, knew of this disease, tin !
vv j w hile the Israelites were encamped in the wilderness, he cnlorced ccr- j
1 tain sanitary laws that, w ere they enforced todav, they would absolutely
little ' prevent the spread of not only the I lookwonn disease but Typhoid and !
. ; Cholera as well. In hict, there has beet) discovered in Thebes, linypt, !
a medical bonk, the oldest on record, written one hundred ) ears before j
the birth of Moses, and in this bank the hookworm disease is described. !
It has not been but a few years since it was tirst discovered and found j
lo be so prevalent in America. Helm e this it was thought that that
large body of weak, delicate and pale people were so because ol condi
tions inherited at birth and could not be cured. Now, how ever, this is
known not to be the case, that most of these people are so ow ing to the
Hookworm disease and can be cured.
PRi:VAl.l:NCI:. About one-third of the people, all classes, old and
young, have this disease.

MODI: OP L I'RANCI; About 5M pir cent, of the cases begin as
INTO THI: HH)Y. ground itch, dew itch or toe itch as it is vari
ously called. The worms burrow through the skin on the loot and, in
doing so, produce an inllamiiiaiioii that gives rise to this condition.
After penetrating the skin they gel into the blood stream and are car
red around to the upper part of the intestines, just below the stomach,
w hich is their feeding grounds. I lure they attach themselves to the
lining of the intestines and begin to suck the life blood of the individual
away. About 10 per cent, of the cases get into the body through con
taminated drinking water, or by eating lettuce, strawberries and water
cress that has been improperly washed.
SYMPTOMS. The majority id' lite eases, who have had the disease
but a short w hile, have no noticeable symptoms. They constantly feel
tired. Get up each morning leeliug about as tired as on retiring the
night before. Get out of breath easily and often suffer from stomach
troubles. Others, more severe cases, have a pale complexion, hair
and skin dry, palpitation of the heart and sometimes swelling of
the feet and eyelids. Ol course all degrees in modification of these
symptoms may be seen.
METHODS OF DlAONOSlMi Three methods; first, by the symptoms;
THI: DISP.ASI:. 2nd, by a microscopical examination of
the excreta in order lo determine the presence of the eggs of the worms,
and 3rd, by the beneht received from the treatment.
TRKAT.WLNT. This will absolutely cure every case. Is simply
and in no way injurious or dangerou1;.
