turer at the London School OF Tropl-
cal Diseases. and member OF the

gagged In making a study of pellaGra

DR.. Sambon. il will be remembered,
Is the man who helped so Importantly
Ia prove the case against the malaria
mosquito by his classic experiments
in the Roman campagna where he,
with one companion, spent several
weeks in a screened hut on tho
marshes, merely taking the precau-
ton not TO go out at night Inas-
much as the malarla-carrylng mos
quitoes fly only at night, they suf-
fered not at all through dwelling in
one OF the worst known breeding
places of the abominable insects.
Accordingly. authority OF the high

announcement that pellagra In italy
owes its distribution to a midge. or

not exist without the AnopheleS mos
quito, so likewise does pellagra-a
much more terrible disease, Tesembl-
Ing leprosy-depend on this black fly
for its transmission and dssemlna-
ton among mankind.
Such being the case. IL will be
asked how does it happen that this
dreadful malady. unknown until re-
Gently in the United States. has sud
denly broken out in many parts of
our own country, spreading with
alarming rapldlty. and threatening to
become a plague?
The reason why-it is supposed-is
tnat the Italians. who have been
swarmlng into this country IN such
multitudes within the last ten years
have brought the disease with them
from italy where 1t has long been
rife They have infected our buf-
falo gnats. which, thereupon biting
healthy persons. have communicated
the malady TO them. II is just like
the case of the mosquito which hav-
ing sucked the blood OF a malaria suf-
ierer, attacks somebody else and in
troduces the malaria germ into the
