Hookworm Dispensaries Areio be
CJqnduCted in This fouaty
f With a Definite Purpose. .
Tbe State' Board of Health, acting
with . tbe ! Commissioners ' of Cta7 a
county, have arranged to establish t m I
porary dispensaries ;for the diaen ;is
and free treatment of hookworm dis-.
ease. Taeje dispensaries will be onn
between tnehoura ,of 9:30 a. m. and .
30 p. m,, at the following places: .
Dover, Tuesday, January 9; 1; 2S,
80; February 6. i
Cove City, Wednesday, January 3;

Ur. C. F. Strosnider, Hookworm Spe-1
cialists, will be in charge of the dispi n
aariea, assisted by a trained micro: -,
coplst.
There will be lectures on Hookworm
Disease and rural sanitation daily, and !
yon can see the chief cause of ground
itch through the microscope by aek.ng
tha man in. charge. You can get a
pamphlet on Hookworm Disease, U s,
Malaria and Typhoid Fever, and (he
Sanitary Privy FREE! at the dispen
sary.
That if yon have had ground-itch or
dew poison within the past ten years,
you should suspect Hook worm Disease.
That we have found that more than
half of the people have Hookworm I is
ease. The satisfaction of knowing that
you do not have Hook wornxQisease will
repay you for the time you invest. To
be examined we ask you bring on y ur
first visit, a small amount of your bowel
action in a tin box for microscopical
examination But few people arel
cured by taking less than three ire t -
ments. That we give but one . i tat- j
ment at a time, and that the treatments !
are taken one week apart.
Visit the dispensaries on the da es
named and see for yourself what is lie
ing done. It may mean the saving of
life, as well as many .dollars to yourself
or your child. We are interested in i he
health of your family. Are you? If
so, take advantage of this vital oppor
tunity.
Thousands of people took advantage
of these dispensaries In Pitt county, a id
thereby, hundreds of them have been
restored to good mental and physical
health.
We are friends to you and your neigh
bor Doe your neighbor know thit?
Tell him I
. We Invite you all to come, regardless
