HINT FOR DYSPEPTICS
Proper Diet, Plenty of Time for Eating
and Rest viii Cure Most Cases
Unless the Blood-SuppIy
Is Deficient.

Drugs play very little part in the
modern treatment of dyspepsia. From
list of articles easily digested the
patient selects those that most appeal
to the appetite, avoids hasty eating and
rests after each meal by lying down for
a time if circumstances permit. Then,
unless the supply of blood to the
stomach is deficient, nature works the
cure.
The cure of Mrs. Jennie Temple, of
No. JOG North Main street, Fond du
Lac, Wis, of stomach trouble by Dr..
Williams Pink Pills was due to their
power to build up and purify the blood.
She says:
~ take great pleasure in letting
others know of the great benefit | have
received from DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

caused by overwork, for about two
years. Ny appetite was very poor and

'PELLACRA GIVING
ALABAMA 4 SCARE
Five Cases Were Recently De-
veIoped in One of the
Counties.
1T STRIKES WHITE WOMEN
PHYSICIANS AND HEALTH OFF,
GALS ARE MAKING PROMPT RE-
SEARCHES TRYING TO UNDER.
STAND AN ODD DISEASE.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct 4-The fact
that the medical records of Alabama
show twenty deaths from Pellagara
during the first half of the present
year, and the further fact that five
| cases recently developed in single
county, each proving fatal, has served
to bring this disease prominently be-
fore those charged with safeguarding
the health of the state, and physicians
| generally are delving for new light up
| on the mysterious disease.
The result of the Investigations thus
far made seem to explode the ancient
| theory that pellagara is caused by
| corn, yet no theory has been advanced
that seems entirely acceptable to the
medical profession. DR.. Chiffon
Thorington, a distinguished Alabama
physician, who has given the subject
much study. has suggested the theory
that the mosquito is at the root of the
| evil, but the medical profession as a
whole is far from being convinced.
Though Pellagara is almost as old as
the science of medicine, it has thus far
baffled the keenest medico-scientific
Investigators of Europe and the Unit
ed States. Until a few years ago the
disease was almost unknown outside
of southern Europe, but during the last
year it has gained a strong foothold
| in the United States, especially in the
South and in some sections it has
spread with alarming rapidity. Scores
of cases have developed in Alabama
and Mississippi, death and insanity
following in it's wake.
Affects White Women.
The disease has been known in Ala
bama for about five years, but it was
not until recently that it began to at
tract wide attention. Owing to this
, fact the records bearing upon the dis
| ease lack much of being perfect. How.
ever, from the data at hand it seems
that the disease runs it's course in from
one to three years, the sufferer becom-
ing demented and dying of hamilton
AS a rule it begins in the spring, the
first symptom being loss of appetite
followed by arrangement of the bowels
This arrangement becomes more acute
with the approach of summer, but
abates in the fall and disappears al
most entirely during the winter
months. AS rule the second sum
mer is strongly marked by cachexis
and the beginning of mental derange
ment. It is at this stage that a large
percentage of the cases in this stat:
have appeared at the insane asylums.
The disease has made the creates
inroads among white women in Ala
bama OF the twenty deaths brought
to the attention of the medical depart
ment of the state during the first hal
of the year. nine of the victims were
white females. Three were whit'
males. while in six of the eight case!
among negroes the victims were fount
to be females.
