PeTIagra An Old Disease.
"It is not surprising that the spread
OF 'peIlagra' should have excited much
popular alarm. Apparently, the mall
ady has arisen and grown to large
proportions almost over night, as 1t
were, like the proverbial mushroom,
The truth is, however, that in all
probability it has existed in this
country for at least 80 and perhaps
40 years, though 'the relatively few
and scattered cases Of it occurring

the hands Of physicians.
1T is a disorder with which we are
not familiar, and in some of its man

lOathsome. Indeed, some of the older
writer's, describing it a century or
more ago in Europe, called it 1ep-
rosy'-a term which since the days
kind of all that is horrible and dis
gusting in human disease. Then, too,
it is associated very frequently with
insanity, a condition naturally abb
horrent to all, and its death rate has
been very large.
Appalling Mystery Surrounds It
All these features have given to
'IellagTa' an air of strangeness and
dreadfulness that has made a strong
appeal to the public mind. In addi-

lack of knowledge of its cause. and
To the further lack Of any effective
means of cure. The result in some
communities, quite naturally, has
been to produce a 7erY uneasy state
Of feeling, at times actually border
ing on panic.
For a long time past the most
widely accepted theory in regard to
'pellagra' has been that it was caused
by eating spoiled corn. e., maize
which had undergone more or less de-
terlOriatiOn, with incidental growth
IN it of Objectionable fungi. It has
been matter of speculation whether
such fungi produced poisonous chemic
substances, or whether they might

'Pellagra' has been reported from

nine-these being New Hampshire,
Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North and
South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming and
Nevada Pennsylvania and Illinois
have together furnished zoo cases.
But the southern states are much
the worst afflicted, and the disease
appears to spread most alarmingly in
the mill towns Of that section. At
the same time, the very striking fact
is observed that in those mill towns
which are clean and sanitary, there
are practically no cases Of Pelagra,'
except such as are brought into them
from outside.
