MANY PELLAGRA CASES
IN HOSPITAL AT

Mitchell. s. D., Dec. 13.-Pellagra is
prevalent in many communities in
South Dakota where it's existence is
not suspected, declared DR.. e.. S.
Adams. staff physician al the state in
sane hospital, at Yankton, speaking
before the Mitchell district Of the State
Medical society.
Reports of patients treated at the
Yankton hospital, said DR.. Adams,
showed c~onclusively that they had
been brought there suffering with the
diease and that 1t must be prevalent
in different parts OF the state. At the
present time there are IL patients at
Yankton who have the disease. Sew
eral have died from its ravages. Until
q few years ago, comparatively little
was known about the disease, which is
especially common in the southern
states. Medical authorities differ on
its cause. although the generally ac-
aeItsd theory is that 1t comes from
eating food prepared from moldy corn.
