PELLAeRA AMONG WOMEN.

Official figures compiled by the fed
sral government show that pellagra is
more deadly to women than to men.
The reason is not explained by the
experts who are studying the rapid
spread and ravages Of the disease in
this country, says the Washington
Herald. There was large increase
In the mortality from the disease in
1911, when $50 deaths were reported;
IN the decade 1900 to 1909 the
mortality reported from this disease
was insignificant, TWO deaths being
returned from 1900, two for 1903, and
one for 1904. In 1908 there occurred
% deaths, all in southern cities. A
large increase was shown for 1909,
during which 1l6 deaths were report
ed, and a still greater increase for
1910, when there were 368 deaths
The mortality of $50 for 1911, as com
pared with 36S for 1910, indicate an
increase Of 70 per cent 1t is cues.
tionable, however if this should be
considered representative Of the actual
Increase in the mortality. AS in pre-
yious years the excess Of women vic
Tins was very large, AGA, or 70,4 per
cent. being females. Federal, state
and municipal health officials are ex-
ercised over the spread Of the disease
and are doing what they can to com
bat it. The difficulty is that they
have reached no agreement as to
either cause or cure for the malady,
