Excerpt from The Country Slaughterhouse as a Factor in the Spread of Disease
In perhaps the majority of cases the butchers controlled a small piece of land, and, as a rule, hogs were kept on the premises to eat the offal. In many instances the houses were located on the banks of rivers or creeks into which the premises drained. Frequently the offal was thrown down an embankment toward the water and left there to be eaten by hogs and rats or to decay and drain into the stream. In some cases the slaughterhouses were located on farms. These farms were' either owned by the butchers or a farmer would give to-the butcher, for his slaughterhouse, the use of a piece of ground on the corner of his premises in return for the use of the offal as food for his hogs.
A very important matter from the standpoint of public hygiene is that in case a town was provided with more than one slaughterhouse, the houses were rarely segregated, but were scattered north, south, east, and west, each butcher apparently trying to place his house in Such a position as to prevent any undue amount of curiosity on the part of his competitors as to the character of his stock.

Charles Wardell Stiles was an American parasitologist, medical zoologist, and public health expert. He helped establish the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission for the Eradication of Hookworm Disease.
Background
Charles was born on May 15, 1867 in Spring Valley, New York, United States, the younger of two children and only son of the Rev. Samuel Martin Stiles and Elizabeth (White) Stiles. Both parents were of early New England descent; Stiles's father was a native of Pittsfield, Massachussets, his mother, of Whiting. A Methodist minister, Samuel Stiles supplemented his income by work as a stenographer.
Education
In 1878 the family moved to Hartford, Connecticut While in high school there, Charles demonstrated an aptitude for languages, an interest in natural science and medicine, a fascination with military drill which proved lifelong, and skill in baseball and football. In 1885 he enrolled at Wesleyan University, his father's alma mater, but eye trouble caused him to drop out during his sophomore year. He then obtained family permission to continue his studies of languages and science in Europe.
After a few months at the Sorbonne, the College de France, and the University of Gottingen, Stiles studied science intensively for two years at the University of Berlin under such professors as Hermann von Helmholtz in physics, Emil du Bois-Reymond in physiology, and the zoologists Friedrich E. Schultze and Wilhelm Waldeyer. Instead of then going on into medicine, he moved to the University of Leipzig to concentrate on zoology with the great parasitologist Rudolph Leuckart. He received his Ph. D. degree in 1890.
Career
After an additional year spent at Robert Koch's laboratory in Berlin, at the Austrian Zoological Station in Trieste, at the College de France, and at the Pasteur Institute, Stiles returned to the United States in 1891 to begin work in Washington as principal zoologist in the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture.
As a vigorous participant in the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature and many other professional bodies, European and American, he became a distinguished successor to Joseph Leidy in the development of systematic zoology in the United States. Much of Stiles's work at the Bureau of Animal Industry was of direct economic importance to American agriculture. In 1895 and 1896 he investigated livestock disease caused by filth-ridden slaughterhouses in country towns. Stiles also became the focal point of the Bureau's concern with trichinosis in pork.
This concern came to a climax in 1898, when he was detailed as science attache to the American embassy in Berlin in connection with long-standing German restrictions on American pork. During a two-year assignment he investigated and refuted German charges that American inspection of exported meat was inadequate and that American pork had caused trichinosis in Germany. At the same time, his criticism of the cumbersome German system of microscopic inspection of pork prevented its adoption in the United States.
Stiles also helped analyze, in 1898, the internal parasites of the fur seal. In 1900 and 1901, at the request of Congressman Rudolph Kleberg, he went to Texas to investigate losses of cattle, sheep, and goats owing to parasitic worms.
In 1902 Stiles transferred to the Hygienic Laboratory of the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, where, for the next thirty years, he was chief of the Division of Zoology. He was also professor of medical zoology at Georgetown University from 1892 to 1906, special lecturer in the subject at the Johns Hopkins University between 1897 and 1937, and lecturer at the army and navy medical schools for shorter periods. In these posts he did much to educate American physicians as to the importance of zoology in medicine. Stiles's most dramatic and far-reaching contributions to public health were in connection with hookworm disease.
In 1902 he discovered a variety of hookworm indigenous to the Western Hemisphere which he named Uncinaria americana, or Necator americana. That same year he confirmed that unrecognized hookworm disease was endemic among poor whites of the South, and showed it to be a major cause of the depressed condition of the region. The popular press picked up his report, and Stiles's discovery of the "germ of laziness" gave rise to numerous jokes, verses, and cartoons.
Meanwhile political action against hookworm disease lagged. During the next few years Stiles traveled extensively to gather statistical data and educate physicians, health officers, and laymen about the hookworm. In 1908 and 1909, as an expert on President Roosevelt's Country Life Commission, he was able to interest Walter Hines Page, Wallace Buttrick, and Frederick T. Gates in the problem. The result was the formation in 1909 of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission, financed by John D. Rockefeller, which went on to conduct an extensive and highly successful campaign against hookworm disease through rural sanitation and education.
Stiles, who crisscrossed the South many times as the commission's part-time medical director, lectured and distributed educational material, assisted local boards of health, designed privies, made field studies of schoolchildren and other groups, and conducted extensive laboratory research in connection with the campaign. As a consequence of this work his contemporaries recognized that few if any other individuals had accomplished so much for rural health in the United States. Stiles also investigated the health of cotton mill workers, mine sanitation, and other public health problems.
During World War I he examined new recruits and worked with state health boards of several Southern states on the control of epidemic diseases. Following the war, he directed experiments on soil pollution which demonstrated how fecal matter and bacteria were spread by ground water.
After his formal retirement in October 1931, he continued some helminthological work at the Smithsonian Institution and taught zoology at Rollins College in Florida for several winters.
In October 1940 he was admitted to the Marine Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, where he died a few months later of myocarditis.
He urged zoologists to cling uncompromisingly to established rules of zoological classification and particularly to observe the law of priority in naming new species.
Personality
He was not a speculative thinker; his strength lay rather in observation. Meticulous and objective, he reported new species of parasitic worms, analyzed old ones, and worked for order in his field.
Connections
On June 23, 1897, he married Virginia Baker; they had two children, Virginia Ruth Fordyce and Elizabeth.
