Pellagra caused $40 deaths in the
state of Mississippi in the year 1916.
Since the mortality from pellagra is
about S per cent that means that
there were at least 10000 persons af
flicted with pellagra in this state in
1915.
The most characteristic signs of pei
lagra are a peculiar skin rash, resem-
bling sunburn or weather chap, most
frequently observed on the backs OF
the hands, and in children on the
backs of the feet; a general loss OF
strength or vitality with special ten
dency toward nervous depression or
melancholy, or sometimes gradually
developing mental deterioration; and
scalded or sore mouth, with a red
dened tongue, dyspepsia, diarrhea and
other disturbances of the digestive or

be worse in spring and summer

The cause of pellagra is probably an
inadequate diet. There is good deal
of evidence to support the belief that
the use of reasonable variety of fresh
animal food in the diet will prevent
pellagra. By fresh animal food $
meant fresh milk, fresh eggs, fresh
lean meat, fowl, fish and game, and
fresh vegetables and fruits. The dis

bean meal may be mixed with the corn
meal in the proportion OF one part to
four or five of corn meal. Greens OF
all kinds are good to keep off pella

meat to prevent psllagra. Buttermils
is also good.
In the North they suffer all sorts OF
ailments, according to physicians, from
the excessive eating of meat. In the
South we may ascribe pellagra to the
want of sufficient meat or proteid
