Pellagra

Until few years ago pellagra
was unknown in this country The
disease was common in sertain parts
of Italy, but'it was not widely stud
led by the medical profession even
in the country where it prevailed.
A few years ago a peculiar dis
ease appeared among the insane in
certain public institutions in the
south; the symptoms were those of
the Italian pellsgra. Investigation
proved that 1t was indeed pellagra.
Since that day the disease has been
found in many other parts of the
country; it is known to prevail more
or less extensively in most of the
Southern States, and occasionally IT
appears in the north as we'll. Re.
Gently cases have been discovered
in Great Britain.
Pellagra begins as an annoying
skin eruption that appears in the
spring, and subsidies at the approach
of cold weather, but it recurs again
the next year. Later, there is evi
dence that the nervous system is
effected, and in many cases insanity
follows.
In was long thought that pellagra
was caused by the eating of spoiled d
corn-meal, or of corn meal made
from diseased grain. More recent
Investigations lead physicians to te-
lieve that it is an Infectious disease,
caused by some microbe not yet re-
cognized. 1t Is probable that this
mlcrobe is single celled blood
parasite, protozan with two life
cycles-one of which passes into the
body of man, the other into that of
the buffalo gnat, an inssc; of the
genus Simulium.
According TO this theory; the DIS
ease is of the same type as malaria,
which is caused BY b oo1 parasite
that passes one phase of its exist
ance in man, the other in the body
of Jsqu;,o This dos not mean
that pellagra isdirectly contagious.

Rothert's "history Of NuhIenfsrg

The following is a re,i.A Of o -
A Rothert's rHistory of MuSlenlDe- g
County," by the editor of uThe
American Historical Review Of
New York, in the October number
of that magazine. II shows the ex-
treme appreciation In which this
valuable work is held by such an
important journal:
"This book, il may be said in the
outset, Is not one of those CONNER
cial projects-one is tempted to
say commercial frauds-so fire.
quently put forth nova days as
county histories, but has been writ
ten solely because of the authors
interest in the subject and his desire
to preserve the county's history
from oblivion. The author has
spent much of his time during the
past seven years in gathering mater
ials for the work, largely traditions
and personal narratives. The Off
cial history of the county he has
made but small attempt to relate.
Official and other written records,
although used to me extent, he
has for the most part passed by,
preferring to preserve first of all
those more perishable materials
which repose only In the minds of
the oldest (or next oldest) inhabit
ants. An exception Is the diary OF
Isaac Bard, I848-I872, of which
considerable part is printed.
Muhlenberg, although not organ
lied as a separate county until 1898,
bears the name of a Revolutionary
hero. The first settlers came into
the region about 1884 and by the
end of the eighteenth century the
population was increasing rapidly.
Many pages of the volume are oc-
cupied with accoun's of tie early
settlements and with the personal
history of the pioneers and their
immediate descendants. There are
also several extended sketches Of
persons prominent in the later his
tory of the county. Naturally there
are chapters descriptive Of the mode
of life at different periods, as there
are also chapters on several phases
of industrial life as we'll as upon the
religious and educational history of
the county. The part which men of
Muhlenberg county took in the sew
eral wars is related at some length.
A chapter of recollec.io-5 %. the
Civil War is contributed 0y M K
T. Martin. A. appenuIx includes
a number of articles by other hands
than the authors, a journal of a
trip to New Orleans In 1903. by
James Weir.
The book not only contains muck
that is of interest to the student
Kentucky history, but Is written in
a pleasing style. An Interesting
feature is the illustrations, of which
there are more than two hundred,
largely pictures of historic places
and buildings, taken by the author"
