PASTEUR INSTITUTE
Means Much to ALI the People Of
South Carolina.

The news il The State few days
ago that the State board of health
had decided to establish in this city
laboratory and an institution for
the Pasteur treatment of rabies
means much to the entire State, not
only from medical standpoint, says
The Columbia State, but on account
of the assistance rendered in stamp
ing out contagious and infectious
diseases and the instruction it will
give the layman who is awakening
to the Importance of hygene.
The laboratory will be established
by the board of health as soon as
the special committee consisting Of
Drs. w. w. Weston and F. c. Will
liams, the later the State health Of
ficer, has arranged the details and
are ready to report at called meet
ing. 1t is planned to have the ply
sician in charge make microscopic
examinations of all diseases conta-
gious or infectious and advise as to
their prevention and spread. This
will be done without charge to any
citizen of the State and in fact the
institution will in every way pos
sible aid the physicians in all ex-
aminations where the patient is un-
able to pay.
The Pasteur treatment will be the
same as that given in Paris or Bal
timore and should a citizen believe
that an animal is suffering from
rabies, after having bitten per-
son, the director will examine the
head of the animal and diagnose
the case without cost. For the pres
ent, however, it will be impossible
for the laboratory to furnish accom-
modations to patients coming to Co.
lumbia. This must be arranged foc
by those being treated.
The work of the board is very
important one and means a step
forward, in the opinion of the ply
sicians. 1t will save many thousands
of dollars to the people of the State
and will push the educational work
now going on for the prevention of
the spread of contagious diseases.
The committee will shortly adver-
tise for doctor for the institution,
and when the plans are completed
the laboratory will be opened at
once.

Many Cases at This Term Of Court
of General Sessions.

of General Sessions.
The May term of court convened
here yesterday morning with Judge
Watts presiding. The docket is a
heavy one, and there are several
murder and rape cases, and other
cases of lesser interest. Full half
day was taken up in swearing in

ments to the grand jury.
The first case tried was that of
Mr.. George Amakcr, a young white
man of North, who was charged with
the larceny of a bicycle valued at
s25 from Shellie Robinson, since
dead. There was not much evi-
dence, and after argument by the
Solicitor for the prosecution, and
Mr.. T. M. Raysor for the defense,
the case was given to the jury, who
found a vertict of guilty.
Henry Haynes, colored, was con-
victed of attempting rape on a white
woman and was given 20 years at
hard labor in the penitentiary.
The next case was that of John
Walker, colored, charged with as
sault with attempt to rape. He was
found guilty and sentenced to 20
years hard labor in the State peni-
tentiary.

PELLAGRA HAS THEM PUZZLED.
Three Surgeons Are Coming to Study
the Disease.

the Disease.
The Columbia Record says another
indication of the growing interest in
the pellagra problem on the part of
the medical profession throughout
the country is the fact that DR.. W..
S. Thayer, associate professor of
medicine in Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, Baltimore, has decided to study
the disease, which has now been rec
ognized in nearly every Southern
State, and will come here next week
for that purpose.
Surgeon General Wyman, Of the
United States public health and ma
rne hospital service, has detailed
Surgeon c.. H. Lavinder to make
Columbia his headquarters for the
study of the disease throughout
South Carolina. 1t is probable that
he will spend a month o. more in
vestigating the disease, trying espec-
tally to find out it's cause.
DR.. Ch. Wardell Stiles, the recog-
nized expert on the hook worm dis
ease, has also been detailed by Dr..
Wyman to investigate conditions
among certain classes of South Caro-
lima population. 1t is understood an
effort is being made to secure an
ample appropriation from this con-
gress to warrant a thorough study
of the hook worm disease.
