CHAGA S DISEA SE In large areas of South America, up to half of the popu- lation suffer from the effects of Chagas disease_an illness that causes acute debility, fever, and often idiocy, paralysis and death: There is no known cure for Chagas disease, and, until recently; there was n0 effective method of preventing its spread, for the large, bloodsucking bugs that carry it are immune to most insecticides: In 1948 ICI undertook experimental work in the control of the Chagas disease carrier when a technical service man from LCI General Chemicals Division visited South America in connection with the use of "Gammexane insecticides. Laboratory tests carried out in Chile; Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay gave such promising results that a full scale field-trial was arranged. This took place at an up-country village in Uruguay where the interior of every infested building was sprayed with a "Gammexane preparation. The trial was an outstanding success. A single application of this powerful insecticide wiped out the entire bug population of the vil- lage: As a result of this technical service work by IC.L, campaigns to eliminate Chagas disease are now being under- taken in a number of South American republics: ICL IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES (NZ) LTD: The Friendly Road CELEBRATES ITS 25th B IRTHDAY 25th NOw AVAILABLE ThE SILVER JUBILEE BROCHURE 36 pages_~size 7V2 X 91/2 inches Printed on art paper containing 34 photogruphs with the story of the years between Full-page pictures of Uncle Tom and the Combined Choirs carolling to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth on Christmas Morning in Government House Grounds, Auckland Other full-page pictures of the Choirs and personalities well known on the Friendlv Road SOMETHING To KEEP SOMETHING To SEND To A FRIEND.
