DECLARE PELLAGRA
NOT CONTAGIOUS
U. S. Surgeons Also Explode
Theory That Damp Corn
Is Cause.
rFron The Trfhun. Rura,u. J

Washington, April 27.--Thnt pellagra
is not infectious or contagious has
been demonstrated by the United States
Public Health Service, after many
months of experiment in attempts to
infect all kinds Of animals. One hun
dred and twenty-five Monkeys on a
farm near Savannah have resisted all
the efforts 10 infect them, even inlec-
tons failing TO develop the slightest
trace Of the disease.
As a result Of the investigation, As
sistant Surgeon General J. W. Kerr
said to-day that it had been definitely
demonstrated that pellagra is not a
germ disease. -,
1--WE have clearly demonstrated" said
General Kerr, that II is impossible,
through contact, or any OF the usua!
methods, to infect monkey or any Of
the other animals we have tried. The
answer is quite simple. The disease is
not conveyed by germ. IL must be
the result of some other cause than
germ activities.
On the opinion Of the surgeons
working on the case, the disease Is
caused by food eaten by the victim.
We have not proved anything clehiiy
about this, though we are hoping, IN
side of q year, to be able to point out
exactly its cause, and probably its cure
or how to prevent 1t.
Experiments with that end in view
are now being carried on. We have
hospital at Spartanburg, in which pa
tients are being studied, IN addition 10
our experimentation. | wish TO empha-
size. however, that our work shows
there is very little in the theory that
damp corn causes the disease. We can
find nothing whatever to bear that out.
GAS nearly as we have worked it out,
pellagra is caused by a diet not suf-
fciently diversified, and therefore does
not properly nourish the body. As
have said, however, we hope to com
nlete our work and clear up the whole
nroblem in possibly a year"
