Gahagan Post, No. 38, G. A. R. T.J. Rice, Commander; J. H. Ballard, Adjutant Meets at the Court House Saturday, before the sec-J ond Sunday in eich manth atH am Report of Hookworm Commis sion in Madison County. In the past few. years a wonder ful new knowledge has come- into the world that it id possible to prevent P trreater part of our sickness. . Not only has this af fected the Public Health Service of the National Government, but the States, the Municipal boards of health and smaller communities are widening the scope of their activities along- this line. 'A school to train officers for public health work, the first of its kind in the field, has been established under the auspicies of Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.' At present in this State of North Carolina there are ten coun- ues uaving wnoie ume neaitn om-! cers-physicians who devote their entire time to preventing disease. Before this work can be done, or appreciated, it is necessary to edu cate the people, teaching them the need of such an officer. This has been, and is being done by the Hookworm Commission. Dispen saries nave already been held in nearly every County of the State Here, not only were people treat ed for intestinal parasites. ' but ectures were given on Sanitation and Hygiene, and literature dis tributed to all desiring it on such subjects as Typhoid Fever, Tub eruculosis, Hookworm Disease. Dispensaries were held at five points selected by the County Commissioners for five weeks - be ginnjng September 27th in Madi son County.: AH desiring it were examined for intestinal para sites, and those infected treated free of charge. Lectures a n d demonstrations : were given not only at the dispensaries, but at thirteen schools. Literature was distributed at both places. The expenses of the County a mounted to One Hundred eighty sue and twenty-six (186.26) Dol lars, Faying for the expenses of an assistant, the advertising, the medicines used and containers for specimens. This was less than fourth of the actual cost of the campaign, the rest being paid by the State. Daring the five weeks over 2075 people visited the dis pensaries. There were 1942 exa mined for intestinal parasites and 720 found infected and given treatment The following tables give in detail the number examin ed at each dispensary point,, the number infected, the number of children among these, as well as the number of those infected.

' , ; - The infection with hookworm disease in this county was much below the average as only 8 of those examined had the : disease. More were found to have the oth er varieties of intestinal parasites, however, as 87 were infected with these. i , The lack of infection with the hookworm disease was certainly hot due to good sanitary surround ing's of the houses. v The towns have few other than the open back privies. A majori ty of i the country homes ' have none. Marshall, the County Seat, s ideally situated for a sewerage system. ThB town containing the Court house should be an exam ple in sanitation for the others to folio r. Typhoid Fever should be unknown. ' That is in itself s dis grace to any ; community., not Springs is far ahead of Marshall along this line. Here a. majority of the houses have closets connect ed with a sewerage system' which empties into the river below the city Still, even here there are many improvements , yet to be made. : . , : '' ; The sanitary condition of Wal nut is poor. Only the ordinary open beck privies are used. The water supply is t very scant,1 as well. '. The principle industry.:: of this County is , farming. Many of these people, living some distance from the towns, were hard to reach and to interest in something of which most of them were en tireiy. ignorant. From sanitary point of view, the great majority of their homes are deplorable. Few indeed of the poorer class have privies of any type. Often the houses. consist of ,only, two rooins. is it any wonder that the children lock ambition and sick ness is common? Few of the schools visited had privies. Here children of all clas ses meet and work and play to gether. It is on these that the future of this state and County will depend. ' Education without good health is almost useless, even if obtained It is from the open back privies. or the absence of any, that the great majority of intestmiil i diseases spread. Hero also anym The common drinking cup is also a great source of danger, often distributing the germs causing colds, consumption and diphthe ria. . ' ' Co-operation received from th greater number of influential citi zens was pcor, with their assist ance a much larger number would have been examined. Some from whom we had a right to expect the most help, gave none. Before closing, however, esne. cially do I wish to thank Drsl Roberts and Moore of Marshal tlimiRaml nf flioa hreed. which are and Drs. Baird and Burnett of Ait n.,0 s. 0i. Mars Hill, for their1 interest and assistance. Taxes! MO (Taxes!
