DIR. FOWLER WOULD SAFEGUARD
HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
Says Large Percentage of Pupils Who Enter
kindergarten Show Physical Defect.
Corrective Measures Urged.

After showing in his annual report
that a large percentage of children be-
gin their school careers in the kinder
garten with some physical defect that
should be corrected, Health Officer
Fowler urges that boys and girls be
examined before they start to school
and corrective measures taken.
School medical inspectors last year
examined 3,571 children in the kinder
garten and first grade, and of that
number 3.314, or more than 81 per
cent. had some physical defect.
Chief Defects Discovered.
The chief defects found were:
Defective teeth. 63.5 per cent; dis
eased tonsils, 45.3 per cent: enlarged
glands, PTS per cent: poor nutrition,
23F nasal breathing. 1872: defective
vision, 1875: orthopedic defects, 1916;
anaemia, ST; skin or parasitic disease,
So pulmonary disease. T. speech de-
feet. 3.S; chronic nasal catarrh, 81;
nervous system, "a. and cardiac dis
ease. 20.
The health officer renewed his rec
ommendation of last year for the con-
struction of a municipal hospital for
the treatment of minor contagious
disease, which are now handled by
existing hospitals through an ari
rangement with the health depart
ment.

Right Diet to Avert PeLlagro
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.

First noticed in Georgia about %
years ago, we now know that "pel-
lagra" is a disease found in all parts
of North America. 1t is more com
mon in the South and Middle West.
Different agents have been consid.
cred as possible causes for the dis
ease. Insect bites, contaminated
water and other factors have been
studied, but more or less mystery At
taches 10 the disease.
For many years it was believed
that spoiled maize or corn used in
the diet was the cause. Investigations
made by the u. S. Public Health Ser
vice have shown that while the eat
ing of corn in itself does not cause
pallsgra, they advise strongly against
its forming the principal part Of the
dietary.
The first symptoms of pellagra arc
gasLFle distress nausea, gaseous iOr-
nation and, Of course, diarrhoea. The
diarrhoea Of pellagra differs sorlC-
what from that Of other conditions.
The patient finds it difficult to con-
troll the bowel action, and the feces
are expelled with great force. The
stools have the odor Of putrefying
material.
The skin symptoms, which are con-
spicuous, do not appear early. They
begin on the exposed portions Of the
body and at first look not unlike
sunburn. The skin disturbance may
appear in spots or groups Of erup-
tons. These pass off after a few

days, leaving the skin rough and
scaly.
The backs Of the hands, the wrists,
the legs and feet are most common
ly affected. Sometimes the skin
eruptions develop into raw bleeding
surfaces.
Burning of the mouth, swelling Of
the tongue and itching Of the skin
are other symptoms. Severe pains
occur here and there. The sleep is
disturbed.
In the treatment of pellagra, prop
or hygiene and diet are essential. IT
has been found that this disease is
more common in hot weather than in
cold. Therefore, the sufferer will be
greatly helped by being kept in a cool
room if possible.
Corn and corn products, as well as
vegetables consisting largely Of rough
age, should be avoided. Sweet milk,
buttermiIk, steak, lamb chops, white
meat of chicken, the finer vegetables,
should all be included in the diet.
Rectal injections Of bismuth viii
