this country the medical profession was
totally ignorant of its symptomatooey
no literature upon the subject available
for distribution To meet this demand
there have, at various times, been pre-
pared and distributed several publca-
tons on the disease, and the service has
thus distributed many thousands of
copies of literature to meet this need.
In addition to this. officers of the service
on many occasions have delivered ad-
dresses before medical and lay audiences.
AS early as l9o7-0S one officer was de-
tailed especially on this work. and in the
discharge of his duty visited a great
many places and Institutions in the
United States, and was sent to Italy
to make observations on the disease.
In addition to this, laboratory and clint

service officers at the hygienic labora-
tory in Washington. the State Insane

For several years number Of officers
have been assigned to this work, along
with other duties. and, under authority
of an act of Congress. the t. s. Marine
Hospital at Savannah, Ga. has been
made the center of service activities on

has been recently increased, n research

pointed to as showing this country what
it may expect. Wherever introduced,
pellagra becomes epidemic and slowly

governments with experience unite in re-

from the financial and public health
standpoints.
There are few diseases. it is declared,
which can present such an extensive

pellagra was unknown to most of the
medical profession of the United States.
Now it is a common and daily event in
the professional life of hundreds of
practitioners. Its greatest area is. how
ever, confined, roughly speaking. to
those state lying south of the Ohio river
and Potomac and east of the Missis-
sippi. with Texas, Louisiana and -Arkan
sas included.
One after another these states have
recognized the existence and rapid eN-
tension OF the disease within their Dor
ders. Complete and accurate statistics
for the entire United States are wanting.
but from an extensive inquiry begun by
the public health service some time ago
it is conservatively estimated that from
1891 TO 1919 there have occurred in the
United States not less than Ia,a30 cases
with an average case mortality of about
% per cent. In many sections Of the
country the disease now exists in cpl
demic form and is menacing the life
and health of the entire population.

TRENTON REACHES NORFOLK,
Little Steamer, Long on Potomac
Soon Begins New Duties.

The little propeller steamer Trenton,
which has been a familiar figure on the
river for the past ten years. and which
left here in the latter part of last week
for Norfolk, has arrived in safety at
that port. and is being made ready to
take up work for her new owner. Capt
3. T. McHorney, who recently purchas-
ed the steamer from the Potomac and
Chesapeake Steamboat Company CT this
city. The place on the river formerly
filled by the Trenton. las been taken by
the steamer Volunteer.
The Trenton is to be placed upon a
route out of Norfolk. through the Chesa-
peake and Albemarle canal, to points on
the North Carolina sounds, to run pota-
toes. cotton. tobacco and other eastern
North Carolina products. The Trenton
was brought here from the Delaware
river about ten years ago to run on the
upper river routes in opposition to the
old Randall line. Later her route was
extended to Upper Machodoc creek, out
of which she ran for several years. until
purchased by the Potomac and Chesa-
peake Steamboat Company. Since that
time she has been used on various
routes. and though small boat proved
an efficient one. Recently she was Sc
cured by Capt. B. T. McHorney of Nor
folk for use in the North Carolina trade.
