Pellagra In the Country.

In the rural districts of Georgia con ditions are similar to those in Au- gusta. The physicians of the Eighth congressional district met recently to discuss the situation. Those present reported that they were attending more than fifty patients suffering from the disease, all of whom, with two eX- captions, were women.
 pr. Roy Harris, secretary of the state board of health of Georgia, who Is one of the best known physicians in the south, Is reported to have declared that pellagra is not a contagious dis ease and results solely from eating poisonous foods. He says it Is a va riety of ptomaine poisoning arising from the indigestion of corn products prepared from diseased grain. This Is the view most popular in Italy, where the disease has fiourished for centuries.
 It is the simple ignorance of the people," according to pr. Harris, "who should be better informed, that Is caus- ing the present agitation and fear of pellagra."
 Dr. Harris declares that, although the disease appeared In the south only few years ago, there are now at least 10000 cases in the southern states alone. The disease Is a most distress ing one, causing visible physical symp- toms which the layman cannot con template with equanimity, while the mental symptoms are such as to re- quire the detention of the majority of the victims in the state asylums. The three state institutions in South Car o!ine are now crowded with them.
 Dr. Harris maintains that the state of Georgia could arrest the progress of pellagra and wipe it out in five years by prohibiting the importation of western com, which, he says, k 1 badly damaged in the winter and then shipped to the south. He asser;s t.:..t unless southerp physicians can oDt&,n | legislative assistance the fight against I the disease will be practically hope less.

 PELLAGRA
 WHOLE SOUTH
The Most Important Health Problem Today, Says
 Medical Journal.

the noncontagiousness of pellagra renders quarantine inadvisable and unnecessary, and so far as known this measure has not been adopted by ex- perienced authorities in their strug- gles against the disease. That health authorities and physicians generally are alive to the necessity of vigorous action, however, is shown by the in terest taken by them in the subject.
 "On the other hand, press reports and editorial comments indicate that the public is becoming much exercised over the situation. In an editorial in one of the southern papers the situa- tion in North Carolina is referred to as alarming, and the medical profes- sion is called on to devote more of its time and thought to the problems in volved.
 "On the whole, the pellagra situa- tion must be viewed with serious con. cern. The disease has been reported from more than thirty states. its area is extending, and its presence is a menace to the physical and mental in tegrity of a large number of people"
 Reports just received from Augusta, Ga, indicate that in that city at least the disease Is almost entirely confined to women. Although the disease Is reported to the board of health there. there is no record of a child having had It. One man was stricken with it and died, but there is no other in stance of a male having been afflicted with pellagra in Augusta.
 On the other hand, some fifty wom- en have been stricken there. Strange ly enough, nearly all of these women lived in one ward. Treatment seems to be of little avail, and but few re- coveries are reported. Twin sisters died in the. Fifth ward of pellagra within few days of each other.
 The board of health of Augusta has taken no steps to fight the disease, the authorities being at an utter loss as to the best course to pursue, Local ] physicians eagerly take up every new remedy suggested by any medical au- thority whose name carries weight, but the results so far have beSn dis couraging.
