The American Hookworm
j ,i pre < i.t in the lnl>
It attaches itself to th'- wui
organs and sucks the blood
Its Life History Although the life
history of the American hookworm baa
not. yet hoi.*!, worked out in every de-
tail, yet enough ljS known to «ay
it hi very similar to ti e life history
of the* Old World hookworm which is
well known The full-grown hook-
worms Hie found inside the intestines
of man in greater or less numbers, de-
pending upon the severity of the rase.
Here the female worms lay their eggs,
which are discharged with the faeces,
for the <g;:c will not develop inside
the body of man. After ’he eggs reach
the air they hutch, and tin- young hook-
worms live in water or moist ground
and become p: rtially grown. It is in
this partly grown condition that they
arc ready to enter the human body
again. When once in the allme.itar>
tract these young worms fini li their
growth, becoming mature, and lay
eggs, thus completing the life history.
How Hookworms Gain Access to
Man's Body Hookworms appear to
obtain ucc< ,-s to the alimentary tract
of man in two or three ways. The
young, immature worms may be swal-
lowed with contaminated food or with
drinking water People who handle
dirt or come in contact with It during
their work, are apt to get the minute
invisible worms on their hands,
is tlH'ii easy for the worms to be con-
The worms may
also enter the body by actually work-
ing their way down rhe hair follicles,
through tlie skin, and thence to the
intestines. It lias been shown that if
a drop of water containing the young
hookworms is placed upon the skin
an itching sensation takes palce, due
to tlie fact that the parasites are ac-
tually working their way down tlie
follicles of th* hairs through the skin
Once through tlie kin they work their
way to tlie intestines. Tlie young
hookworms do not seem able to ex-
ist in a dried form floating among
dust particles and, therefore, proba-
bly do not enter tlie body by being
breathed in with tlie air
How Hookworms Affect a Patient.—
Victims of these parasites are Injur-
ed: ( i f by Hie loss of blood drained
out by the worms; (2> by the loss of
Mood running into tlie intestines from
the wounds made by the worms; (3)
tlie walls of certan parts of the intes-
tines when tlie worms are located
become thickened and degenerated so
that they fail to perform their work;
ill tlie worms in all probability pro-
duce a poisonous substance which acts'
upon the patient. Affected persons
present a dull, stupid expression, with
a characteristic stare of fixed dustre-
iess eyes They become, in advanced
cases, very anemic and emaciated. In
addition, the face and abodnirn may
assume i dropsical condition. In fact,
it is common for tlie abdomen to be-
come abnormally distended Cinld-

ual! yedvelojied, and the vlcitms be-
come "dlrt-eaterr,” "resln-( hewers,”
that y'snuff-dipliers," ‘'Inebriates,” etc. In
all, the energy and ambition are gone
and they exist as ‘poor whites.” These
|M>ople have been scoffed at and de-
rided as worthless, when really they
were suffering untold pains during
the long dreary days of all these many
years. Surely they have borne a aw-
ful burden, but thanks to a man of
large vision succor is near.
Where the Disease is Prevalent.—
The American hookworm disease is
confined to the warmer portions of the
I’nited States. It has been found
fromd from Virginia to Florida and
Texas. Cases existing in the more
northern states are usually traced to
an infection obtained in a tropical or
subtropical region. The disease Is
mainly a rural one, apparently confin-
ed chiefly to regions of sandy soil.
Moreover, the poorer people are large-
ly the sufferers. It is in the country
where the sanitation of the home sur-
roundings is totally neglected that the
hookworms hold sway. Dr. Stiles
says that in many communities which
he visited, with the exception of tlie
planters’ home, not over halm of the
country homes had any outhouses at
all Many of these people go bare-
footed a large part of the year and
undoubtedly they become infected
ill rough their feet.
Prevention and Cure.—Tlie hook-
worm disease may be prevented by
taking certain sanitary precautions
and may be cured l>y the use of simple
Cheap drugs. In tlie first place, par-
adoxical as it. sounds, the dirt about
tlie home must be kept clean by hav-
ing good outhouses which should bo
built at safe distances from wells and
spring of drinking water. Scrupulous
care should be exercised at all times
regarding the hands bearing particles
of soil contaminated with the worms.
If the soil about the home is kept clean
there is little danger, hence the great
importance of proper sanitary precau-
tions. Shoes should be worn during
wet weather in. infected regions, and
bare feet should bo washed clean at
least once a day. The groat cure,
however, is thymol followed by Ep-
som salts, two cheap drugs within the
reach of every one Thymol is a pow-
erful drug, and should be used only
under the direction of a physician. It
seems to stu nt he worms and loosen
their holds on the intestines, after
which they may be expelled by the use
os salts. The discovery of Ashford
and the later investigations and work
of Stiles in the United States, fill one
with admiration and enthusiasm. Who
can estimate the happiness, relief from
misery .resulting front this work?—

In IhiiG Dr Earles Wardell Stiles,
during a lectuic to some medical stu-
dents on animal parusitoH said, “If
any of you ever go South or Into the
tropics, and find u ease of anemia, tie
cause of which Is not clear to you,
look for a hookworm like that found
I in the ’logs at Washington.” Dr.
IStilcH had not, at that time, found the
hookworm In man in America, but he
knew that such a disease existed in
the Old World, and that hookworms
were common in dogs, sheep and cat-
tle. Moreover, he knew the effect ol
these hook worms on animals, ami rea-
soned that if present, their effect would
be similar on man Sitting in the
class at the time of the lecture was a
young man by the name of Ashford,
w lio afterwards wa nt to Porto Rico
with Hie words of his teacher fresh
In his mind Dr. Ashford found among
almost his first eun< s ionic of a pecu-
liar atoinia, the cause of which lie
did not know. He made a miscroco-
pial examination and found, us his
brilliant teacher hail prophesied, tlie
hookworm Following this up he
found that one-third of tlie deaths in
Porto Rieo were due to tlie hookworm
With tills as a beginning Dr. Stiles
took up Hie work of in .'estimation in
Hie United States. Ttu reports of Dr.
Stiles head almost like the story of a
knight hi quest of wrongs to right
Hi* found the "poor whites,” shack-
ers," "saiKlhlllerR," ''barrenites,” or
