WHEN THE MIND FAILS
AND DARKNESS COMES
BY Ralph N. Greene, M. D,
Chief Physician, Florida
Hospital for the insane,
Chattahoooheo.

less II more general information had
been disseminated Government food
experts state that no person can WIS.,
ually inspect corn and tell whether it
is good or bad. Chemical analysis for
the purpose of determining the amount
of acid and moisture is the only GER
tain way. Under such system, the
manufacturer will soon recognize the
necessity of slipping only good corn
and is generally careful to analyze his
own goods, rather than to take
chance Of shipping and sustaining
loss through process of confiscation
and condemnation by pure food in
spectors.
Cotton seed oil products, such as
cooking oil and artificial lard, Is an
other stated cause of pellagra These
products contain a poisonous sub
stance, known as linolin, which poison
is also found in corn and other ce-
reals.
In one of the southern hospitals
where corn was a part of the dietary,
one hundred and sixty cases of pei
lagra occurred in a period Of one year
After the abolition of corn in all forms
as food, only about fifty cases occur
red in a similar period
PeIlagra Not CONTAGIOUS.
1t has been held that pellagra is not
contagious disease, but that 1t is an
infectious condition, probably not
transmissable from human to human
Certain authorities contend that the
disease is caused by an insect-borne
parasite, in a similar manner to the
yellow and malarial fevers and sleep
ing sickness. The sandf1y is thought
to be the insect that carries the dis
ease. White women have been found
to be more predisposed to the disease
than men, and hence 1t is assumed
that the Infection is gotten at home
and in the day time more frequently
than otherwise.
Georgia has been credited with five
thousand cases of pellagra, while In
Florida, at a conservative estimate,
no less than FIVE hundred cases are
known to have occurred. The disease
is not a southern disease, for the con-
dition has appeared in distant states
even as far north as Maine and In
Missouri and Kansas. While there is
no necessity OF widespread and gen
| eral alarm over the condition, It is
necessary to adopt stringent measures
| towards excluding doubtful corn AMI
| If found, damaged corn should be de-.
stroyed. While the occurrence of pei
| lagra has been a most unfortunate
event and the toll In human lives has
been great, the disease has been re-
sponsible for many eminent medical
men giving their time and efforts in
| studying conditions among the insane.

Peiiasra Causes insanity.
Recently a new disease, pellagra,
appeared in the United States. A vast
majority OF these cases terminate in
insanity and consequently find their
way into hospitals for the insane
During the period from the end OF
1907 to the end Of 1911, $4,000 cases OF
pellagra occurred in America. Ac-
cording to reliable statistics, AZ per
cent of the twenty six thousand pei
lagrins died. Thus a new factor in
the production of insanity was thrust
upon the people. with very startling
abruptness.
The theories as to the cause OF pei
lagra are many, but as yet all I'M
proven. The most popular theory Is
that spoiled corn is responsible for
the disease. Some states have adopt
ed very stringent laws, providing fol
strict examination of all corn offered
for sale. In South Carolina, where
similar laws were enacted, 1t was dis.
covered that fully ninety per cent OF
the corn foodstuffs offered for sals
were dangerous and unfit for use
Today it is estimated that less thar
ten per cent of corn in the state i.
unfit for food, and even this would b,

Those who have dedicated their
insane have, in their almost aimless
groupings into the most difficult and
chaotically distorted branch of medi-
cal science, mental and nervous dis
eases, failed to attract much attention
from the general public. The exist
enoe of hospitals for the insane have
to a more or less degree, been lost
sight of, and to similar degree for
gotten. Recently, however, the public
mind has turned towards the study
and investigation of ali problems of
human interest, and the economic and
sociological aspects of the question OF
insanity are sharing in the general
trend towards civic Improvement, and
the result is that the insane citizen,
even in the most remote cell of dis
tant asylums. is sharing dividend of
better and more effectual care.
There are forms Of insanity that
are characterized by periods of men

stitue one of the more common forms
Of insanity. A patient, who has once
been in hospital on account of this
form of insanity, is almost inevitably
certain, sooner or later, to have a re-
turn of the mental alteration. Very
often, under such circumstances, the
patient realizes that he is in a condi-
ton bordering on another attack Of
insanity Under these conditions, 1t IS
not common feature for the patient
to look with dread towards being re-
turned to hospital, but he is cogni-
zant of the fact that he is about to
become source of menace to him

THE ELECTORS OBLIGATION.

There ought to be no doubt about
the vote of a presidential elector, says
Editor Grant Hager in his Walsh
County Record. Under the wise and
democratic custom which has prevail
ed almost from the beginning OF the
republic, the elector is required to
cast his vote for the candidates named
by the national convention of the
party which selected him for that
duty. He is merely a vehicle for the
expression Of the wishes of that par
ty. 1t Is true that under the letter
of the constitution he has a right to
cast his vote for whomever he pleas
es, but no elector has yet had the
hardihOod to vote for any man for
president who was not the regularly
nominated candidate of the party
which the elector wah chosen to repre-
sent. That candidate may be person
ally repugnant to the e~lector, between
the time of his state convention and
general election, may rave radically
changed his political views; yet he is
morally obliged to cast his ballot for
the nominee of the party which APP
pointed him its voting agent. He has
no personal choice in the matter. No
election since the present nominating
system was established has ever
claimed, or ever exercised. the right
Of choice.
The peculiar conditions of the pres
emit campaign have brought this ques-
ton to the front, practically for the
first time. Republican electors in some
Of the states were named at conven-
tons held prior to the national con-
vention held in Chicago. A number of
these electors were, and are ardent
supporters of Mr.. Roosevelt, and some
of them, it is reported, have determ-
ined to cast their ballot for their ia
vorite, regardless of the action of the
Chicago convention, holding that the
nomination of Mr.. Taft was obtained
by unfair methods, and therefore, &C
cording to their viewpoint, not bind
ing upon them. This is not the place
to consider the differences of opinion
as to the honesty of Mr.. Tafts NOM
ination. The point is this: These
electors were named by Republican
conventions. They are electors OF the
republican party alone. Mr.. Taft is
the nominee of the National Repub-
lican Convention. No matter what
n may think about the methods or
his nomination, the simple fact re
mains that he is the Republican can
didate for president, and the only
Republican candidate. Mr.. Roosevelt
may be nominated for president, but
he will not be the candidate OF the
Republican party. His party will bear
some other name. The Republican
electors, as private individuals, have
the right of every American citizen tc
think and to vote as they please, but
in their official capacity they are In
honor bound to cast their ballots II
