OF Saluda TO have this bridge in ser

CASE OF PELLAGRA.
Anne Schumpert, Colored Woman
Examined by Physicians-Sent to
Hospital for Insane.

In the opinion Of Drs. James NJ
kiblcr and W. &. Ilouscal, Il case Of
pcllagra has developed in Ncwbcrry.
The patient, who is Il negro woman
about 60 years old was taken to the
Hospital for the Insane in Columbia
yesterday, to be placed in charge Of
DR.. j. w. Babcock, who has recently
made Il thorough study Of this dis
ease.
Anne Schumpcrt, the negro woman,
has been sick for about six months.
On Friday Drs. Kiblcr and Houscal
were called in TO examine her for
iunacy. Each diagnosed the case as
pcIlagra. She has inflammation of
the skin similar to eczema, and for
The past five or six months there has
been Il gradual cmaciation of her
body. She has an extreme pallor.
from the impoverished condition of
the blood, and an extremely weaken
ed nervous system. which has dcvcl-
opcd into insanity. The case was i'm
mcdiatclv reported to DR.. Babcock.
and, as stated. she was taken to CO.
lumbia yesterday.
Anne Schumpcrt is the wife Of
"Fish Dick' Schumpcrt, an old neg
TO who is we'll known in Newberry on
account Of his staunch loyalty to the
white people, having voted the Demo-
cratic ticket in 1876 and continuous
ly since. His wife has been a very
large eater Of corn bread. and the
opinion is that the pcllagra has been
developed from defective Western
corn.
After the diagnosis of Drs. Kiblcr
and llouscal, DIR. p. G. Ellcsor and
DR.. W. f.. Pelham, Jr., saw the ease
and they coneurrcd in the diagnosis
of the other physicians.
