CORN IS NOT THE CAUSE
OF PELLAGRA IS CLAIMED
COMMISSION REPORTS DISEASE
CAN BE CONTROLLED AND
GIVES ITS CAUSE.

NEW YORK. - Pellagra, from
which more than 100000 persons in
this country are said to be suffering
can be controlled, according to a re-
port by a commission of the post
graduate medical school and hospital
of this city, made public today.
The commission also announced
it's conclusion that he disease is IN
fectious and is not caused by an I'M
balanced or inadequate diet. They
found the disease spreads through
lack of proper sewage facilities and
that the most effective means OF
combating it is by the installation OF
efficient sewage systems.
These findings are the result OF an
extensive investigation which the
commission has conducted IN Spar
tanburg county, South Carolina. o.,
The commission admitted that 1t
had not discovered the cause of the
disease, but reported it has dlsproVed
the theories that pellagra was due to
the bite of the black fly, that 1T was
caused by the presence OF certain
minerals in drinking water or by eat
ing too much corn.
To test its theory sewage system
was built in Spartanburg mills, de-
scribed by the commission as the
worst pellagra in foci in South caro-
lima"
