This is a report from the Commission for the Study and Treatment of "Anemia" in Puerto Rico, submitted to Governor Beekman Winthrop in 1904. The report details the findings of the commission, led by Bailey K. Ashford and W.W. King, regarding the prevalence, causes, and potential treatments for anemia on the island. It provides insights into the public health challenges faced by Puerto Rico at the turn of the century, specifically focusing on the widespread impact of hookworm and related health issues. This historical document offers valuable perspectives on the early efforts to address anemia and improve public health in Puerto Rico, and the methodologies used for research and intervention.
