To the People Of Garrard Co.

l feel it my duty as a health officer
of Garrard Co, to say something to you
in regard to this disease ''Pellagra" y.
On the 9th. of this month visited the
Lexington Asylum in company with the
board of control where | examined
same twenty five patients who are suf-
fering with this disease.
Aftei making a careful examination
of these cases and getting the clinical
history of each case, and consulting the
Doctors who have been treating this
disease for two years or more, l came
to this conclusion; that Pellagra is a
non contagious disease, nor do l be-
lieve it to be an infectious disease, and
| wish to add that the state board has
also decided that this disease is not con-
tagious. l believe that ''PeiIagra' is q
condition, resulting from a diseased
nervous system, aggravated by improp-
er diet rather than disease, the ner.
vous system or an Imbecile.
In all the cases that | examined al
the Lexington Asylum only found one
that looked to be fairly well nourished,
and he was perfect blank.
| believe people of sound mind and
body and who live within the purview
of the laws of health are immuneG
against this disease. Now to ward off,
not only this disease, but all contagious
diseases we must live pure clean life.
Keep your premises clean and SAM.
tary, eat pure food or none.

Could Be Worse.

There is nothing so bad but what it
might be worse, is true saying. We
think that we are suffering for rain, or
have been, and We have. but our condi-
ton Is nothing compared with the con-
dition in other counties, even so close
as Clark and Bourbon In these cOun-
ties vegetation is literally burned up,
corn tasseled out two feet from the
ground with not shoot showing from
it, this corn will make absolutely moth
ing. Tobacco is equally as bad off, not
larger than a saucer and as yellow as a

Garrard county crops, with the ex-
ception probably of one or two small
areas in the north eastern part of the
county has been blessed, not with a.
bundance, but with some rain and the
crops are looking reasonable we'll.
There will be good corn crop if We
can have a few more showers, and
some corn even if we should have no
more rain for some time. Tobacco is
spotted in some places, but the crop
taken as whole, is looking reasonably
well; and it must be remembered that
tobacco is but weed and revives in a
wonderful short time under the in
fluence of good rain. We had splendid
wheat crop, almost the best ever known
in fact hay and oats excepted, We have
had splendid crops and the farmer is
destined we think to receive good prices
for his products this fall.

Be Careful OF The Water.

Surrounding towns are cutting off

This step has never been rendered

necessity before we have sufficient
