The question is suggested by a number of references to the tropical parasite in the cables from Australia, indicating that it .fias- now been traced in the coolei regions of northern New South Wales. The hookworm is a small worm about half an inch long that pierces the skin and attaches itself to the mucous membrane of the lower portion of the bowels. This parasite, which has caused much of the anaemia and debility peculiar to children in the tropics, travels a good way through the human system before it finally settles down to its "oik. It enters the tissue under the skin, travels to the lymphatics, and thence to ,h 0 lungs. Its life has many sporting chances, for it has to wait until it is coughed from the lungs into the pharynx whence it continues its journey to the stomach, and finally to the intestines. ••NO-RUBBING” doesn’t work miracles. hut certainly effects a transfoimaiion w-shing days, and Is does seven.- Advt.
