AYOS, Cameroon, Central Africa P)—The tze-tze fly, carrier of the ter- rible sleeping sickness germ, has been fought to a standstill by a little group of doctors who are given credit for | saving hundreds of thousands of lives | in this French mandated territory. Dr. Jamiot, former chief of the Pasteur Institute at Brazzaville in the French Kongo, for several years has worked with such success that he feels sleeping sickness mortality has been re- duced to what might be called normal proportions for this country. His aim now is to stamp it out. Native Staff Trained. ‘When France, after the war, took over this German colony sleeping sickness was spreading and in one district there were 200,000 deaths. In another district of 40,000 square miles, there still are 350,000 persons affected. Dr. Jamiot, with a group of young French doctors, has trained a native Sstaff so that the white man's capacity is multiplied many times. A school to train mnatives to fight the disease, furnishes men and women skilled in the several simple things needed to be done. ‘The French doctors diagnose the dis- ease as the natives file by them and, with chalk mark on the natives’ chests the treatment to be given. Those who come from distant villages, after pre- liminary injections, return to their es, where trained natives continue / the treatment. Faith in Doctors Grows. The microsope plays & big part in the work and a dozen natives have been trained to operate the instrument. Faith in the foreign doctors’ ability has grown until now thoygands of af- fected persons come froni afar, some of them carried in rude cloth ham- mocks hitched to poles which two persons carry. Ayos is the last town on a road 75 miles inland from the capital, Yaounde, where the rallroad ends. From here there are only paths into the jungle. 1o AR GIRL’S CHARGE HOLDS VIRGINIAN IN $7,500 David Crockett, Tourist Camp Owner, to Answer Before Grand Jury—Woman Is Fined. @pecial Dispatch to The Btar.
