ALIGHTED FROM CAR SAFELY
imperative Woman Lets 1t Be Known
She Is No Daddy LoneIegs" and
Gets OF Uninjured.

An unusual sort of woman was
about to leave a car. 1t was new
car and its seats were so high in the
air that as the passengers climbed up
to them their efforts would have made
a star feature Of a comic supplement
sheet.
The unusual sort OF woman made
elaborate preparations for her depar-
ture. First she caught the attention
Of the conductor; then she arose from
her seat, raised her hand and turned
slowly around; then she called out,
with a loud imperativeness that com
manded the interest of every passen-
ger in the car:
81 want you folks to take notice OF
what do, because may need you ON
the witness-stand before I'm through
You driver, do you hear me?"
AS the car had stopped and the
man at the crank was as motionless
as If he were blue granite instead of
blue cloth. the unusual sort Of woman
must have taken it to mean that he
heard, for she went on:
IF you start this car before 1 get
OF I'll sue you for damages and prove
1t by these people want you to
understand I'm no daddy longlegs-"
She landed in safety, to the hilari-
GUS enjoyment Of the passengers, and
when she had waved permission for
the car to resume its duties the mo-
torman moved Washington Star.

uation.
On the whole, Pellegra must
be viewed with serious concern.
The disease has been report
ed from more than thirty states,
Tits area is extending, and its
presence is menace to the peo-
pie.
1t therefore becomes one of
the most important public health
problems of the present, and as
such, provisions should be made
for strict regulations by federal
and state health authorities for
the control of the disease.
The principal argument
against the corn theory and the
poisonous smut of corn as put
forth by our Osteopathic friend
is up in the air, when you read
the many reports of the many
Physicians recorded in the lat
er issues of The American Med
ical Journal.
DR.. ]. o. Elrod of Forsyth,
Georgia, after giving the history
of many cases under his own oh
seryation says, "From the many
cases l have seen believe it to
be an insect born disease, l do
not believe that the corn bread
theory is worth thing since a
good percentage of my patients
and the patients under my OBJ
servation never have eaten corn
bread or corn meal in any
shape" Another eminent phy-
sician says, 1.-THE sooner we get
away from the corn theory as
the cause of Pellegra, the better
for the public and the profess
ion."
The symptoms given by the
writer in the Globe are made
quate and misleading.
On observation there is no typ
ical case or real resemblance
of one case with another.
Many mild cases have been
known to get we'll without med
icine, but a positive diagnosis
can be made by few of the fol-
lowing symptoms which are
rarely found in any other known
disease. There is a scaly erup-
ton on the back of the hands, |
which resembles very much sum
burn; the tongue is very red,
and velvety to the touch; the
gums red and spongy, and bleed |
from very little irritation; the
feet and the hands burn; there
is extreme weakness with rapid |
loss of flesh, there may be con-
but there is generally
diarrhoea; there is great saliva
ton and the patient will contin-
ually be splitting; there is COM
plant of heaviness and distress
in the bowels accompanied by
Indigestion; the skin becomes
sallow with leathery appear
ance; there may be eruptions on
the face or any part of the body
but the scaly eruptions are chief
ly confined to the extremeties.
The case of Pellegra here in
our own county was first dag
nosed by DR.. Fee and | here con-
firm his diagnosis as being cor
rect. Respectfully,
DR.. Sloss.

"PeIlegra..What is it?"

l feel sorry for the Learned
gentlemen who seems to hav'
read few back mum bers which
are antiquiated and moss-cover
ed volumes.
We will give you few items
for the public instruction, up t.
date of September End 1911 lied
ical press reports.
Number OF cases of Pellegr;
in the following states: NORTH
Carolina 1000, South Carolin;
1000, Georgia 1000, Mississippi
500, Tennessee 200, Rhode Is
land 200, Virginia 400, Florida
100, Illinois 300, Kentucky 80
Texas 200, and all the balance OF
the states, except the extreme
west and north reports from
one to forty cases with an alarm.
ing fatality.
Reports indicate the increas'
ing prevalence of Pellegra in diff
ferent sections of the country.
From Kentucky, Tennessee,
North and South Carolina, and
Georgia come reports of increas-
ing numbers of cases, some of
them in localities where the di-
sease had not previously been
detected.
Indications are that the di-
serse is increasing from year to
year in many localities and at a
rate that demands serious con.
sideration.
The evident increase in the
number of cases, the high NOR
tality and the lack of knowledge
regarding its cause and preven-
ton has created some feeling of
alarm among the people of in
fected localities lest the disease
might become widely epidemic.
Judging from the experience
of DR.. Italey such an envent is
not impossible, since in that
country the disease soon after
its appearance, became wide
spread and was attended by a
high rate of mortality.
Accurate data of the disease in
this country would at the pres
ent time be of greatest value but
unfortunately these are not avail
able since in only four states is
Pellegra required to be reported
and in only one of these are such
reports required by law.
The Maize theory of the origin
of the disease has proved to be
only a theory and is attracting
less attention on the part of the
student of the medical world.
DR.. Sambons' theory regard
ing the agency of the sand flies
as a carrier of this disease has
few supporters in this country,
although DR.. Roberts of Atlanta,
in a recent paper states that from
observations made in his section
conditions are similar to those
described by DR.. Sambone in
Italy where the disease prevails
and the sand fly is believed by
him to be chief carrier.
AS parasitic disease this has
been confirmed, but as to the
cause of Pellegra we are utterly
lacking and the problem is one
that calls for urgent study from
the students of the medical pro-
fession.
There are contradictory views
by the learned profession in re-
gard to this disease which rend-
ers quarantine reg ulations mad
vlsable in many states, but a
measure should be adopted in
every state by the authorities in
their struggle against this dis
ease.
The physicians of medicine
and surgery are alive to the ne.
cessity of vigorous action by the
interest taken in the disease and
the effort they are making to
