STUDY OF PELLAGRA
Continued from Page Two)

Pellagra is essentially disease of
a fixed agricultural population living
upon an eroded and exhausted soil of
determinate geologic origin. Pellagra
has definite geological-geographical
distribution 1t has no relation to la
Dor, diet, domicile or sanitary envi-
ronment.
Pellagra is caused by drinking soft
water coming from clay soil.
Pellagra is prevented by drinking
hard water whose hardness" is due
to the presence of the carbonate of
valcium and magnesium.
Pellagra is cured by the hypoder-
mic administration of a 10 per cent
solution of sodium citrate. Give cone
cubic centimeter daily for fifteen to
thirty days, according to the severity
of the case, then on alternate DAYS for
as long a time.
These measures are so simple, so
exact, so scientific, so successful, so
cheap, that they do not meet the ap-
proval of the public health service.
They would not require an appropria-
tion of S150,000 at this time A little
newspaper publicity would inform the
people of the endemic area. These
people would speedily get well, and
there would be no more need of pro-
paganda.
Pellagra in the United States is
prevalent in the regions of the Allan
tic coastal plain, the Piedmont pla-
teau, the gulf coastal plain, the Ash
land plateau, certain Inland regions
on the flanks of the Ozark, Boston,
Oachita, Arbuckle and Wichita noun
tains and where the soils are derived
from the shales of the Pennsylvania
series. Pellagra is also occasionally
found in Northern states covered by
glacial drift from the great Precam-
brian shield around Hudson's Bay.
Pellagra has the same geographical
distribution as pine timber. Prairie
countries do not have pellagra, as
prairie soils are necessarily lime Soils
Pellagra is not caused by maize ali
mentation. Pellagra is not caused or
communicated by the buffalo gnat or
Simulium fly. The theories of Lom-
broso and of Sambon have been def
nitely abandoned, as well as disprov-
en-. Pellagra is not one of the "defi-
ficiency" diseases. The disease which
was induced by DR.. Goldberger in the
cGnvicts in Mississippi was scurvy and
not pellagra. The people of the South
are not underfed. / have been thru
the pellagra districts of the South
where the table was filled with the
best three times a day. The wealth.
lest and the best provided die of pei
lagra. The people of the South have
pellagra because their water supply
teaches through clays derived from
the crystalline, igneous and metamor-
phic rocks of the Appalachian system.
Physicians of the South who have
adopted the measures and treatment
outlined by the italian scientists are
curing pellagra. Italy abandoned the
theories of Lombroso, accepted the
findings of Alessandrini and Scala,
and cleaned up pellagra so thorough
ly that the disease, once so prevalent
and so fatal. scarcely figured in her
remarkable draft of men Off the great
war. l might add much more, but
this should suffice. E. NJ Perdue,

and reasoning upon them, of COM
| pretending such prodigious number
of different acts and sciences, OF Gre
ating the exquisite beauties and re-
fined delights of music, painting, and
poetry, and carrying on, through a
/ lcag term of dependent propositions
the most abstruse and intricate spec
ulations, of extracting from plain,
| self evident axioms, a demonstration
of the most sublime and astonishing
| truths, of penetrating into every
rart of the material, the vege-
table, the animal, the intellectual
world, of conceiving and executing
SO many wise and beneficial designs,
of turning its eye inward upon itself
of observing and regulating its own
movements, of refining, purifying,
and excavating its affections, oil
bringing itself, by proper course
of discipline and self government, to
bear with patience the acutest pains
and heaviest Affections, to face with
intrepidity the greatest dangers, to
restrain its strongest passions, to
resist the most inviting temptations
to exert upon occasion the most hero
ic fortitude, to renounce for the sake
Of conscience and Of duty all that the
world has to give, to abstract itself
from all earthly enjoyments, to live
as it were out of the body, to carry
it's views and hopes to the remotest
futurity, and raise itself to the
contemplation and the love of di-
vine and spiritual things:
Consider, now, whether IL be
probable, that a being possessed of
such astonishing powers as these,
should be designed for this life only,
should be sent so richly furnished
into the world merely to live few
years in anxiety and misery, and
perish forever?
Is il credible, is mt possible, that
the mighty soul of devotion should
share exactly the same fate with the
vilest insect that crawls upon the
ground, that after having laid open
the mysteries of nature, and pushed
its discoveries almost TO the very
: -boundries Of the universe, it should
on a sudden have all its lights at
once extinguished and sink into ev-
erlasting darkness and insensibility?
To what purpose all this waste and
profusion of talents, if their opera
ton is to be limited to this short
period Of existance?
Why are we made so like immor-
tai beings if mortality is to be our
lot? What need was there that this
little vessel of ours should be fitted
out and provided with stores suffici-
ent to carry it through the vast
ocean of eternity, if, t the same
time, its voyage was meant to be
confined within the narrow straits
of the present life?
Instinct would have served for
this purpose as well as reason, would
have conducted us through the world
with as much safety, and with less
pain, than all our boasted intellectual
endowments. Another presumption

SHOULD MAKE OTHERS HAPPY
Best Way to Celebrate Christmas 10
to Do Something In Memory Of
Childhood Days.

>TT SEEMS that when one
has grown little old, the
best and the happiest way
~ Ia celebrate Christmas Is to
to do something for remem-
brance-in remembrance OF ones own
childhood, for Christmas Is really for
the children, after all.
Ii Is for children more than for 9TH
ers because ii Is day that cOmmem-
crates the birth of child-that won
drous Christ child that was born In
manger of stable In the little town
Of Bethlehem 1000 years ago.
Now. there will be scarcely a child
In all the world who will not await
the dawn Of Christmas morning with
wondering soul. 1t is the dawn Of
that day when the morning stars sang
together. and when peace on earth
and good will toward men were pro-
claimed from the high heavens. But,
there will be many child TO whom
Christmas will not bring Its dearly
longed-for happiness.
The children OF the rich will not
De disappointed, nor VIII the children
Of the very poor be disappointed. Ii
is the child who has not rich or we'll
to-do folks. but who. at the same time.
Is not subject for charity, who will be
unhappy when Christmas comes.
And ii Is this child that you should
seek out and make happy-for remem-
brances.
You see, Ii Is "A fact that we can
make happy Christmas for ourselves
only by making some one else happy.
Do not think that you can make a
happy Christmas for yourself any 9th
er way, because you cannot do so.
Try the way here pointed out. The
child is easily found, and when YOU
have found that one and have made II
happy, the very angels OF God Will
envy YOU the gladness tHat you will
feel.
