work rexuired by the minister,
in rebuilding the church at JEFF

tornado, March 10, and which
will take perhaps close applica

The above was written two years
ago, and on account o! prevalence
Of pellagra in many sections l have
asked the Jimplecute to republish
my letter on pellagra with the fol-
lowing addition:
Little progress can be made on
the treatment OF pellagra until
more is known Of its etiology, or
cause. There has always been an
opponent to the theory that dis
eased or damaged corn causes the
malady. Various explanations
have been given accounting for the
nervousness of the corn, but all
have lacked that fnality necessary
for general acceptance. At this
time the students of pellagra are
divided into the zoists. or advo-
Gates of the corn idea, and the anti
zoists, or those who oppose it.
Prophylaxix, or the source of the
disease, is all important as there is
no specific, and yet this must re.
main in a very unsatisfactory state
until the question of etiology is
settled. Corn was first connected
with pellagra by the work OF DR..
Nazari, in 1910. He devoted
twenty five years of his life to this
study.
1t is thought, in some com mum
ties, that the disease is caused by
buffalo gnats or sand flies, in 9TH
ers, by a species of ants; in North
Carolina, in the Piedmont section,
it is thought to be caused from
drinking water from certain noun,
tain streams, but we 6ndthis dinease
IN sections remote from any Of the
above causes and consequently can
not claim them as a cause of the
disease.
! Treatment. Many drugs have
been used in the treatment Of pella-
gra and many mistaken claims
have been made. For example
Thyroid extract was thought at
one time sure cure, but later
found useless, and on through a
long list of drugs, arsenic has been
of most service in the treatment OF
this disease than any of the other
one remedy.
The diet: The diet in pellagra
is of great Importance and is one
OF the most difficult parts of the
treatment. The diarrhoea is ex.
ceedingly difficult in advanced cas-

Editor Jimplecut:
| write TO say n few words
about the new disease, Pella0ra,
since l have very pronounced
case of it here and the first real
case with undoubted symptoms
/ have seen here, and too, many
people have asked me to write a
short article telling somewhat of
the symtomatology and effects
of this new enemy of the human
family.
The eitolOgy or cause of this
malady is by no means settled,
however, most observers agree
that in it's major manifestations
it is gastro-intestinal disease,
and since it is such. curative
measures for the upkeep Of the
body are Of prime Importance.
Until the theory is exploded
that pellagara is due to some
toxic substance in either spoiled
or sound corn, or of corn pro-
ducts, l feel that it is my duty
to the profession to give our pa
tients the benefit of the doubt
by excluding such articles from
the dietary.
Simply to prohibit this class
of foods, without entering into
details, is likely to result in a
misunderstanding with conse-
quent failure. For example: 1t
would do no good to cut out the
use Of corn bread and eat corn
starch and grits, as many Of the
washerwOmen co. A great
many will no doubt think it wise
to stop corn bread, starch, grits
etc, but will think it no harm to
continue their use of corn whis-
key, which is also a corn pro
duct, and is, Of course, just as
harmful as any of the rest.
The symptoms Of pellagra,
briefly stated, is a disorkered
digestion, diarrhoea, sore throat,
yellowish spots on the skin, ema-
citation, loss of weight, coughing
and even hemorrage from the
lungs is common in advanced
cases, also blistering Of the
skin on the feet and hands.
So far as we know, pellagra is
not contagious, but since we
know so little about the disease,
it is best for one not to expose
themselves unnecessarily. l
know of no case OH record which
have gotten well, however, death
comes gradually and the patient
Seems to have been worn out.
Respectfully yours.

The State Fair of Texas is this
year Offering more than $500 in

Speaking of this department of
the Fair Sec. W. G. McKamy
said yesterday:
The demand for better and
more scientific farming and the
great desire which seems to be
wellnigh universal to create
condition by which the boys and
girls may be induced to stay on
the farms has been a subject
which in recent years has been
productive of more thoughton the
part of financiers than Probably
any other subject before us today
This great demand has given
rise to the governments taking
an active part in Investigations
looking to the increased prOduc-
tiveness of the soil as we'll as the
better marketing conditions Of
the producer. The fact that the
consumer within recent years is
paying gradually more and more
for all the products he is com
PEELED to use and that the pur'
chaser has not been getting in
proportion his share of the adj
vance in products has caused
universal dissatisfaction, both on
the part Of the producer and the
consumer.
MORE PREMIUMS THAN EVER.

There will be a decided in
