For SENECA HARDWARE C SPECIALIZING ON PELLAGRA, Durham Physicians Cluiin a Curo on ?o Por Cent of Patient?. (Cor. Chai lot.e Observor.) Durham, N. C., July 25.-Ora. J. 10. Moore and P. M. Davis, of Canton, brought W. W. Clarke hero yesterday to place him under the care of Dur ham physicians making a specialty of pellagra. Mr. Clarke has reached almost the desperate stage of the disease, but tho doctors do not be llovo that he is hopelessly ill. The Canton doctors were led to come hero by reading in medical journals and State papers something of the cures that Durham physicians had wrought. Just now stories are going abroad In the city that there aro up wards of two hundred cases of pel lagra here. The doctors cannot verify this, but do say that they have effected temporary cures at least upon 00 per cent of tho afflicted. The chief difficulty discovered in the treatment of cases is that when the patient has been discharged, ap parently cured, ho doesn't continue the treatment and recurrent attacks cause deaths. Miss Ella Hilliard, aged 23. died . ssterday, after having been success fully treated last year. Some of those discharged have gone to the grave's edge. They have passed through thc pellagrous insanity and gotten up. ' Mr. Clarke is approach ing that point now, but the doctors believe he ls far less Ul than many they have treated. Tho treatment will bo watched with Interest hore as elsewhere. Tho Durham doctors asked that the Canton men bring one of their worst patients here and they did lt. It seems that Canton has quite a deal of lt, as has Durham, perhaps twenty-five or thirty patients having died within two years. Doctors do not admit such prevalence of the dis ease as is currently reported, but they know lt ls well scattered. There aro throe or four doctors making a special study of the dis ease. Several well-known men and women have it, but appear to grow no worse. They have had no deaths from persons cured where the treat ment was continued year hy year. Pellagra perhaps should have ter rors here, but lt has not. FOUGHT WAVES FOR FIVE DAYS. Twelve Fishermen Rescued After a Pattie with Ocean (bile.
