First Recognized Case of
Pellagra in City Brings Death

The name. pellagra. was applied to the
disease by Frapolli, an Italian ply
| sician, In 1771. He took II from the
italian words. ''pelle agra or rough
skin.
Pellagra, according to the physicians,
| has existed in America for many years.
1t was first reported In Alabama by
G.. H. Searcy, as an epidemic in the
state Hospital for the Insane at Mount
Vernon. 1t has extended with great
| rapidity Throughout the South during
the last few years. Cases are now
| reported in North and South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama and Texas.
All the leading physicians acknowl-
| edge a proprome. or forerunner. on
pellagra. This prodrome usually be-
| gins about the list of January. and Is
| characterized by various and indefinite
symptoms such as a voracious appe-
| tite pain and sensation of indigestion,
frequent diarrhoea, though often con-
stipation, Unsuitable thirst, or the re-
verse. Later may come a headache,
chiefly occipital, pain In the neck and
| back. dizziness. muscular weakness and
uncertainty OF motion.
Pellagra, according to physicians.
breaks out in the spring of the year.
not earlier than February, and not
| later than July. Generally. the great
est number OF cases appear in April
and May. The exposed portions of
Nhe body, as the hands, neck and face
| ave first affected. An Inflammation or
redness appears on the hands, usually
on the backs OF the hands. at first {.
The redness is similar to sun-burn, and
| Is often mistaken as such. Later 1t
spreads up the arms and becomes
| rough and scaly. Then nervous and
| mental symptoms are manifested.
| The disease becomes worse usually
In the summer. disappears largely in
winter, and then reappears the follow
ing spring. With its temperance II
pursues the same course as the year
before This course may be kept DIP
for several years with its disappear
ance in the winter and its reappear-
ance in the spring.
According to DIR. w. H. Sanders,
state Health Oficer of Alabama. pei
lagra il not contagious to any degree
there is no established proof that the
| cause of the disease is the eating of
corn meal. and that the ''panicky'
fears of the disease are groundless.

surance that special rates would be
granted for both meetings. 1t is prob
able that the special rates will be one

trip. although this has not been an
nounced. Mr.. Long said yesterday
that he expected there would be dele
gates at the Montgomery conference
from every county In Alabama. Some
of the counties will send q delegation
of from thirty, to 100 men.
The citizens Of Montgomery will be
asked to pay the expenses OF the con-
ference. which will formulate plans in
opposition to the prohibition amend
ment A committee will probably can
vass the city in the next few days to
secure the money to pay the necessary
expenses. It has been decided that

wise.

Pallagra, Just recently recognised as
@ distinct disease; pellagra. the sub
ject of many a conversation nowadays;
peliagra, q mystery to all practicing
physicians, caused the death OF w. J.
Barkley of 705 South Decatur street.
in this city, last Saturday morning
Such was the diagnosis of his case by
DR.. NJ. b. Kirkpatrick. the attending
physician. This was the first death
due from pellagra, or pronounced as
peilagra, by the physicians In Mont
gomery.
Mr.. Barley had been Ill for over six
months, but DR.. Kirkpatrick did not
Aspronounce his disease pellegra until
about a month ago. About two weeks
ago, DR.. kirkpatrick took Dr.. F. C.
Stevenson out to see his patient and
the latter agreed that the case was pei
lagra.
According to DR.. kirkpatrick. Mr..
Barkley, during his recent illness, de-
veloped many of the symptoms of this
disease. His hands and arms up to
his elbows, together with his face. be-
came rough. red and scaly. He had
an obstinate ,diarrhoea and was some-
what emaciated. His mentality was
also deadened and he replied to ques-
tfons with some hardness. Although
ali the symptoms of pellagra were
not present In Mr.. Barkleys case, yet
Or. Kirkpatrick stated yesterday af-
.ternoon that enough symptoms ap-
peared to diagnose the disease as pei
lagra.
The disease pellagra, now, that the
physicians know what 1t is, has reach
ed some proportions In Alabama, and
IS at, present quite prevalent through
out all the Southern States. But 1t
is not q new disease. Many of the
local physicians are of the opinion that
many people have died in this city in
years gone by who really were suffer-
ers from pellagra. Several Of the To-
cal physicians have also DIAGNOSED a
few more cases of the disease in Mont
gomery, but the names Of the unfor-
inmate victims are withheld.
The disease. pellagra. dates back In
history to the seventeenth century. It
was formerly considered an unusual
manifestation of some other disease
such as scurvy or leprosy.. 1t was
arst cfronicled in Asturias. province
In Spain. Later the disease broke
out in the northern provinces OF italy.

In the gossip that goes the rounds

there arises rumors Of opposition. In
some quarters. Of the incoming City
Council, to the appointment Of ]. r.
Browder as Montgomery's IRE chief.
Chief Browder, who. by the way. has
been at the head Of the local FIRE de-
partment for more than fifteen years,
will receive the appointment Of Mayor
Gunter. Ratification of the appoint
ment Is up to the Council, and while
there Ia every prospect OF ratification.
II is likely that opposition viii be
sprung.
Just what strength the prospective
opposition possesses Is yet undeter-
thwarting the plans of Mayor Gunter
or In unseating the Fire Chief IL not

succeed, because Chief Browder has a
strength In Montgomery. and In the
Council that will go long way when
backed by the endorsement of Mayor
Gunter.
As to other departmental heads.
there 10 nothing from the present
sight to forecast an opposition. Chief
Taylor. II Is known. will be unop-
posed In the Police Commission which

The rumor of an opposition in the
new Council to Chief Browder. comes
as q surprise, and elicits q wonder
which will last until the declaration
Of the election on October 4.

THE TRAGIC FOURTH.

& 3 Z t-al II u 4
All over the country there is a de-
mand for a sane Fourth Of July. which
means police regulations preventing,
as far as possible. the small boy from
killing himself and others on that day
That this demand is based on neces-
sitY Is evident from the sad agedies
that have become a common occur
renee ION that day. William Orr shows
in the Atlantic Monthly that the casu-
aitles have increased during the last
five years, from 4,165 dead and wound
ed, In 1904, to 1923, in 1908; and
that during the period, 1903-190s there
We're 1926 casualties in all. Such an
appalling record calls for haltsin the
method OF celebration to which it IS
due.
The time may come when the dan
gerous explosives will be handled only
by experts and fire works be given at
the expense of public funds. But even
before that time the indiscriminate fir

Henry j Pain, the great fire works
maker, has given the public some
suggestions that seem to be timely He
says there ought to be no giant crack

pistols in use on that day. He also
recommends the restriction of the sale
