Evidence Against the Gnat.

Having settled these facts to his own
satisfaction. DR.. Sambon said there was
evidence to point to tho buffalo gnat.
known as Simulium reptans. as the insect
that carried the disease. He pointed out
simulium was always found in the pei
lagra districts, that 1t was exclusively
rural and did not enter houses. 1t was
found in all the torrents and swift-run-
ming streams OF the pellagra districts. It
was the only blood-sucking insect that
the British field commission found In its
visit to the pellagra districts Of Italy. II
has a world wide distribution, Ia found
wherever pellagra Is found and corre-
spends to the seasonal severity OF the
disease.
While America has not yet accepted this
theory in full and Is maintaining an open
mind OIL the subject the marine hospital
service and other investigators are ex-
perimenting to find whether there Is any
thing definite to be learned about the re-
lation between the gnat and the disease.
