THE HEALTH BULLETIN 289^ should be taken to see that the privy sits down close all around and, as a further precaution, earth should be banked up around the edge of the privy so as to make it absolutely dark and fly proof. A flap door should fit down over the hole in the seat. In the course of a few years, if the pit is found to be filling up, a new pit should be dug near by and the privy moved over it, using the earth from the new pit to fill up the old pit and to bank . \ \ ! I ' " ' v^ 1 ^ i^J ' ' PIT PRIVY A good, cheap type of privy for rural use. Note it la well built close down to the ground all round, which excludes flies from the pit. The pit may be 2 or 3 feet square by 3 or 4 feet deep. around the lower edges of the privy. Such privies should be located at least one hundred yards from any well or spring and on lower ground, so that the drainage is in no case toward a well or spring. Hookworm Disease Easily Cured Besides being easily prevented, hookworm disease is also easily cured. The treatment is usually given as follows: Eat little or no supper in the evening and take a good dose of Epsom salts before retiring. As soon as the bowels have acted in the morning, take half the quantity of powdered thymol prescribed with a little water, and lie on the right side for half an hour to allow the thymol to quickly pass out of the stomach into the intestines. Two hours later take the remainder of the thymol and again lie on the right side. This thymol will cause the hookworms to loosen their hold on the intestines. Two hours after taking the second half of the thymol, take another dose of Epsom salts together with a cup of hot, strong coffee without sugar or cream. This will expel the hookworms and the thymol remaining in the intestines. In the majority of cases two treatments like the above, taken a week apart, are necessary to expel all the worms. The total amount of thymol given at a treatment should depend upon the size and weight of the patient. In general, about one grain is given for every three pounds of weight of the patient. Thus, a sixty-pound patient would be given twenty grains in two doses of ten grains each. Special care should be taken by the patient not to eat or drink any alcoholic drinks, patent medicines containing alcohol, gravy, butter, milk, fat or oily foods during the day of the treatment and the day before, as such substances are dangerous in combination with thymol. WHY IS A TONSIL? Modern medical science has proved that the tonsils are the cause of many grave disorders. When diseased they may cause not only bad breath, sore throat and deafness, but many serious affections commonly known as rheumatism, neuralgia, pleurisy, infection of the lungs, tuberculosis, appendicitis, ulcer of the stomach, heart disease, kidney affections. These throat glands are the frequent open doors to germ invasions whose poisons may produce hardening of the arteries. Better slaughter a hundred innocent-looking tonsils than run the risk of sickness and premature death by harboring one that is guilty.
