Lambert recently re Ported experiments on 21,000 cases of hookworm at Suva, Fiji islands, As a result, medical science has won a victory over this disease. ‘The new remedy, carbon tetra chloride, cured 91 per cent of those affected after a single treatment. The amount given was only three cuble centimeters, leas than a thim- bleful. Dr, Lambert's work was done with only uneducated Indians and Fijians for assistants. . The disease of hookworm has been fought for yenrx. Great progress has been made previous to Dr. Lam- bert’s work, but with the results he added to the fight it is probable that this disease, which !s mainly respon- sible for the backwardness of many communities in southern and tropical countries, will be wiped out entirely.
