Description:Excerpt from Transactions of the Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Vol. 3: February, 1910 If there is one circumstance specially characteristic of the disease as it affects miners it is the secrecy and unexpectedness with which the disease is hatched under ground and the suddenness with which it leaps into existence. Close study of events as they occurred in the mining centres of Hungary, Silesia, Westphalia, France and Belgium shows that the malady travelled from coal field to coalfield carried by infected workmen, that a considerable time is required for a mine to become infected, that once it is infected the workmen gradually become the subjects of ill-health attended by a form of anaemia, the cause of which is the presence of a parasite in large numbers in the intestinal canal, which acts either by directly abstracting blood or, what is more probable, by the injection into its host of a toxin or toxins at the site of the puncture made in the mucous membrane by its booklets.
