der the influence of unidentified para
site growths (fungi) has undergone
certain changes with the production
OF one or more toxic substances Of a
chemical nature. The relation be-
tween Indian corn and pellagra was
noted as long ago as early in the nine
teenth century, and about the middle
of the century Balardini first put
forward his "verdet" theory already
noted above.
The culture Of maize in the United
States has been practiced since before
the discovery OF America, and it has
always been staple article of diet
over a large area of territory, yet,
with the exception of Few sporadic
cases in Mexico and Central America,
the North American Continent has
been sfngularly cree from the disease.
This has been attributed by writer's
on pellagra to climate we'll adapted
to growing maize and probably to
better general hygienic conditions
among the poorer rural classes.
Exclusive of Sherwell's note on a
case of pellagra seen in a sailor
aboard ship in New York in 1902 the
first case of the disease in the United
States was reported by Harris of
Georgia in 1903. He reported one
case presenting the classic symptoms
Of the disease and thought it possibly
true pellagra
Searcy, of Alabama, in 1907 de-
scribed an epidemic of pellagra oc-
curing in the Mount Vernon Insane
Hospital (for colored insane of Ala
bama). There we're lightweight
cases and ffty-seven deaths. He
states that few cases of such a dis
ease had been noted there as long ago
as 1901, but that their real nature
was unrecognized. He also states
that after attention was called to the
disease some cases were recognized
in the hospital for the insane at Tus-
ca1oosa
His cases generally ran more or
less acute course and the mortality
was very high (about sixty-four per
cent?. He with McCafferty and Som
erville, of Alabama, and Dyer, of
New Orleans, regarded the disease
as pellagra.
Since his report Merrill has re-
corded a sporadic case in Texas.
More recently in a report made to
the South Carolina Board of Health
by the medical members of the Board
of Regents and the medical staff of
the State Hospital for the Insane
several cases of similar disease are
described, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that while a pellagroid dis
ease is undoubtedly present in South
Carolina it remains to be proved
whether it is the true pellagra Of the
Old World, the observations being too
few for final opinion Marked at

Danger in Spiders Web.

The French scientific journal, La
Nature, warns its readers against the
time-honored custom of using spiders
webs to stop bleeding. Remarking
that old webs from stables are pre-
ferred by those who resort to this
remedy, it points out that such webs
are peculiarly liable to be infected
with the microbes of various diseases
which may be communicated from
animals to man. Among other aflic-
tons that have been traced to the use
OF old. dusty spiders webs bound
upon wounds is the dreaded tetanus
or lockjaw.
