THOUSAND pELLAeRA VICTIMS
Diseased Corn Believed to Be Source
of MaIady

Washington, Oct. 20.-There are
nearly 1000 victims of pellagra in the
United States says DR.. c. H. Lavinder
passed assistant surgeon of the Uni
ted States public health and marine
hospital service, who finds records
of the disease in 10 states.
Foreign medical scientists trace
pellagra to the eating of diseased
corn in its various forms. One fourth
of the agricultural output of the Uni
ted States is corn. The American
medical authorities are carefully in
vestigating before attributing pella-
gra to corn.
Italy has $4,000 victims of this dis
ease. The government there blamed
musty corn and has established
rigid system of regulation of the corn
supply.
Surgeon-General Wyman of the mar
inc hospital service says:
This interesting and highly fatal
disease has but recently been discov-
cred in the southern states. 1t is
veritable scourge in certain portions
of Europe and may become endemic
in this country, as IL is associated
with the eating of diseased corn
Pellagra after attacking the intes-
tines and impairing the vitality runs
its course to insanity after manifest
ing its presence by an irritating and
disfiguring skin eruption. Medical
men find it is not communicable ex-
cept through eating the poisoned food
or drinking alcoholic liquors made
from poisoned grain. At its incep-
ton it is durable, in some cases, but
when it affects the reason II is fatal
in time.
Because the disease has been found
in the South for the great part many
persons have confused it with the
hook worm or lazy worm. There is
nothing similar in the two maladies.
Little attention has been paid to pei
lagra in the United States, but now
1t is believed that much of the sick
ness prevalent in southern military
prisons during the Civil war was pei
lagra The diet of the prisoners was
for the most part corn meal, often
wormy and seldom thoroughly cook
ed
The heavy indictment against corn
has been partially lifted by the re-
port of DR.. Lavinder from a Peoria,
Ull) insane asylum, which contains
"a pelagrins. Some of those cases
have developed in the asylum, where
corn is rarely used in the diet. New
ertheless, the advice of physicians is
to avoid the feeding of corn to per
sons suspected of having the malady.
The marine hospital service rec
ords the following cases in the Uni
ted States; New York, a few cases in
Brooklyn; Pennsylvania l. Mary
land. 2; Virginia, 2; North Carolina,
III; South Carolina. 675 Florida, 70;
Alabama 1856; Mississippi, 3; Louisi

in the nature of triumph.

having something to say TO the man

GOES MILE
IN 2:l0 FLAT
Guideless TrOtter Went Fast on
a Track That Was Three
Seconds Slow. !.

Surena, the guideless ~trotter, with q
terday trotted an exhibition mile over
the Belmont track in 2:10 fiat. The
track was fully three seconds slow from
the recent rains. The performance was
really a wonderful one.
The horse was brought out at 4:30
o'clock, and when liberated went off at
a 2:0S clip. He trotted the first quarter
in 80 seconds and was at the half-mile
post in 1:0212. Here he was collared by
the two runners, hooked to sulky, and
he went up the hill between the pair,
racing to get the lead. The third quar-
ter was passed in 1885 and the game
animal led into the stretch by a length.
He took the best footing and trotted
gamely down the home stretch, show
ing no disposition to break when given
the whip by Owner Torphey, and went
under the wire in 2:1o.
Turning of his own accord Surena
walked back to the grand stand to re-
ceive the plaudits of the spectators,
who were enthusiastic over the per-
Torrance.
Lessee Deviney has made a deal with
John Torphey, the owner of Surena, to
