"Pellagra."

So much has been said and written
about this mysterious disease of late
that it has become as much dreaded as
the Bubonic Plague or the Asiatic
Cholera. So many reports have been prin
ted in regard to it, some of them
doubtless being grossly exaggerated,
that The State Board of Control of
Charitable Institutions has deemed it
proper to issue the following state
ment in regard to it, and the prevail
ence of it in the Institutions of the
state.
"In view of the fact that many eX-
aggerated and sensational reports
relative to the presence of pellagra in
the asylums for the insane of the State
have been circulated, causing great
uneasiness to relatives of the patients,
the Board of Control feels called upon
to make a few statements concerning
the disease and its presence in the
asylums.
- The disease, while comparatively
new in this country, has existed abroad
for nearly 200 years. Nothing is de-
finitely known as to the origin or cause,
and its treatment to this time has been
more or less experimental or eXpectant.
Medical authorities are agreed that
the disease is not communicable. and
that segregating or quarantining is
therefore unnecessary. 1t is far more
prevalent among the insane and in asy-
lums for the insane, yet since it first
appeared in our asylums, more than
two years ago, we have had only seven
ty cases among our 1000 patients.
There is, in the opinion of this
Board no cause for great alarm or ap-
prehension on the part of friends and
relatives of the patients in the asy-
lums. They are receiving the very
best of care, by capable physicians AND
trained nurses, and nothing is being
left undone that will add to their com.
fort or aid in their restoration tc
health
This statement should suffice to re.
lieve the minds of those who may have
friends or relatives in these institu
tons, and to Danish any anxiety they
may have had in regard to them. II
seems to US that if person should be.
come afflicted with this disease, il
would be far better to allow them t.
stay in the institution where they may
have the benefit of the professional
men who are acquainted with the ma
lady and its treatment, and therefore
better qualified to treat it, rather thar
to bring them to their home to be
placed under the care of their family
physician, who in most cases, would be
wholly unfamiliar with, and naturally
at loss as to how to treat it.

Our Most Dangerous Foes.

The flies are getting in their work.
The scores are nearly all on their side.
Day after day and hour after hour adds
to the roll of the dead from Typhoid,
Diarrhoea and the so called Summer
Complaint all unnecessarily dead and
the season for these diseases had just
begun. What shall the full record be?
Whose house is secure against these
scourges?
There We're reported to the State
Board of health last year Is, 387 cases
and 1878 deaths from Typhoid, Is, 24O
cases and 1,642 deaths from Diarrhoeall
diseases of infancy and childhood and
l7,624 cases and $40 deaths from Dy-
sentery and Diarrhoea in adults-56, 251
cases and 1890 deaths charged up to
three diseases, three diseases that de.
pend almost wholly upon the house fly
for their transmission and propagation.
In other words, no flies, no Typhoid, M
flies, no Diarrhoea and Dysentery.
And what is being done towards ex
terminating the pest towards prevent
ing these diseases? We would like tt
report the battle won, but the fact
are to the contrary. The warfare up
on the house fly the Typhoid fly ha'
just begun. A few more people thai
last year may have their house screen
ed and a few more may be fighting
them out of dining room and kitchen
but that does not mean much, Tn
fight will never be won that way. N
screening will keep them all out and n
swatting will kill them all.
And, futher, this is neither the wise
est or easiest way. When we begin t
realize the dreadful nature of the figh

Necessity for Drainage
Lazy.

With the certainty Of ultimately
and within a comparatively short
time, opening to cultivation sorAe
2, 700, 900 acres OF the best agrical-
tural land in Georgia, the general
assembly, we believe, viii find little
hesitancy in the enactment Of the
pending drainage bill through which
alone can this development be made
possible,
Already has this measure, with
favorable report from the senate
committee on internal improve
ments, been passed by the senate.
AS the need for it is evident and the
development which it proposes to
foster will require much time in ex-
ecution, the house should see to it
that it is not sidetracked and for
gotten in the turmoil and hustle Of
the closing Of the session.
All that this measure proposes to
do is to provide the legal means for
facilitating the drainage Of Georgia s
wet and overflow lands, step that
has been taken with splendid results
by all but SIX Of the states Of the
union. Where tried the drainage
law has resulted in the reclamation
of lands which we're a drug on the
market, non-producing and COM
paratively worthless, and giving to
them value Of $25 to 500 an acre,
sometimes more.
Given the opportunity, similar
results are easily attainable in Ga.
Increased population, good roads
development, improvement in farm
ing methods, bringing increased
yield, together with other minor
causes, have brought about such
rapid enhancement in the values Of
south Georgia farm lands, and at the
same time so increased the demand
| for them that the day is rapidly ap-
preaching when requisition must be
made upon the now idle swamp and
overflow tracts.
The state should encourage. the
prompt development Of these vast
tracts which will ultimately add mil
lions to Georgia's production. To
this end well-considered drainage
law it essential. and there should be
no delay in the enactment of it,

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, ashley cannotreach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inhamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is irnfamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfecthearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition OF the mucous sur
