Pellagra Increase In Kershaw County For the pust two or thro weeks tlure bus been Been perhaps more pew chhi'h of Pellagra In Kershuw county than wus apparent for the past year. It Ih to he regretted that such condition exists since the county was practically clear of the disease compared t,? tlie peak of 11)29. Since (he public as a whole have been instructed in the ways and means of prevention and cure of the malady it is self evident that they have become negligent and careless as to their own welfare and are now suffering lite consequences. The inference is that many if not all victims have come to look to other individuals or agencies for their food supplies which do not constitute a full well balanced diet. Therefore, the sooner everyone begins to raise their I own gardens and other produce for | home consumption tlie sooner will pel lagru become less prevalent and not until then. Even though the seasons have been unusually favorable this year, good gardens are conspicuous by their absence. It in well known that to prevent pellagra a person must "eat (I little lilt of every kind of food that anybody ever did out." Some foods, swell as peas, beans, salmon, milk, eggs, lean meats and dried brewer's* yeast exert a definite influence In the treatment of pellagra and all can either be produced at home or procured at a very nominal cost, it appears that it would be good ceottoiuy for the farmers to see to it that every person living on their land would bo provided with proper diet through tin- most practical method I which is by their own labor. Medical treatment only suffices to, allay symptoms and will not cure the' condition, "therefore your physician! will endorse tlie above and help all j he ?aii alter you are sick, hut it is > <>ur duty not to have t he disease A \V.
