PELLAGRA IS STAMPED OUT IN SOUTH CAROLINA Spartnaburg,S. C., July 20.? Pellagra has practically been stamp ed out in the Piedmont section o: South Carolina, where the diseasi formerly raged in its worst fornj and. as a result, the Pellagra Hos jural in this city will be discontinu cd December 31, it was announcet tqday by Surgeon Joseph Goldberg er, of the United States publii health service. The laboratory an< other equipment of the hospita here will be distributed among thi other hospitals ef the public healtl service, and so far as the loca force of pellagra investigators ii concerned, the research work wil come to an end. The biggest single factor in th< stamping out of this disease ha: been the post-war prosperity tha has created a marked improvemen in the financial condition of thosi classes among whom pellagra wai most prevalent, Dr. Goldberge: eaid. People who formerly sufferec frc:n pellagra in its most virulen form have enjoyed an era of pros perity since the war that has en abled them to purchase all th< necessities and many of the luxu ries of life. Poor Worit Sufferers It was recognized long ago tha ]-?!lngva was most prevalent amonf those people who did not enjoy th< best of food or else who did no live upon a diet conductive t< keeping themselves in fit physica condition. Several years ago, Dr. Sambon the eminent English pellagra ex pert, came to Spartanburg and ad vanced the theory that pellagra wa: caused by the buffalo gnat and hi: argument gained much credenc< Quit Laxatives,. Purges; Try NR NR Tonight?Tomorrow Feel Right It is a mistake to continually dose yourself with so-called laxative pills, calomel, oil, purges and cathartics and force bowel action.

Later, how-jti jcver, the research work here ex- r ^ >loded this theory ,as the disease 6 was found to exist in sections where -i'.he buffalo gnat was nofe to be -[found. c f E 1 j Many physicians attributed the disease to too much eating of com 'I but the investigations were dis- Q cl "jclosed that the disease existed among many people who ate little * or no corn, while no traces of the ^disease cpuld be found in many! cjhomes where the diet was largely! * 'composed of corn. g 1 Poor Diet Cause a J It has been incontrovertibly ^ 1 established by the local investiga- _ tors that pellagra is caused by a a s wrong, ill-balanced combination of * foods, and the workers here have _ .'systematically conducted a campaign to educate the people con- ? 3 .ceraing proper diets. | In 1916, sixty cases of pellagra ' in its worst form were found in one I ^ e small cotton mill village here, while 3 now there are only eight cases, and S r every one of these is rapidly re1 ' I' 1 sponding to a change in diet of the i ^ fc'???* pauem. , ^ I Doctor Goldberger is declared 11; the after effects of pellagra were tl much worse than the after effects | of Spanish Influenza. After all active symptoms of pellagra have j disappeared^ the patient has invari-1 ^ r ably experienced frequent and pro-1 ri ' longed periods of ' lassitude and ; ti ^ general debility, and in many cases \ A it has required several years to j 0 j build up the patient to his former j state of efficiency. j In the treatment of pellagra, j Doctor Goldberger said milk has:' ? j -L- v Deen iounu iu ue aiattui ui mable importance. A slogan parti-181 g cularly applicable in the local cam-, _ paign against pellagra was "Own a ; cow." !_ I MERELY AN ALIBI L ; . ic As a whole the Democratic1 plat- ( Q form is about as convincing as the , p , average man's excuse for getting ( Qj home late.?The Philadelphia In-, quirer. j ^ j Ci We are proud of the confidence j C j doctors, druggists and the public j ,al j Have in 666 Chill and Fever Tonic.
