DREAD DISEASE
> Pellagra Now Said to be Dne to Impure
Water by Surgeons
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
I The Dread Disease .May Ik' Cuum-O by
I Spoiled Com Also, but the latUt
is not Thought to bo the Ouljr
I Cttu?e or ICvcn tine Main Cause
of the Disease.
, | The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says army
, surgeons have just made important
discoveries as to the origin of the
dread disease "pellagra." These discoveries
have been made at Peoria,
at the Illinois State (Joneral Hospital
for the Insane, where a close study
of the disease has been conducted
by Surgeons Joseph l'\ Siler and
Henry J. Nichols.
It has been found that spoiled corn
or corn which has fermented does
not cause the trouble. It appears
that patients alllicted with pellagra
have first undergone an atllictiou of
the intestinal tract, resembling dysentery,
which is often brought about
by an impure supply of water.
It appears that the army surgeons
found great ignorance at tlie Peorlu
Hospital as to the nature of pellagra.
It is alleged that several hospital
attendants were discharged because
of the belief they had scalded pellagra
patients. The pealing cuticle
on the hands and arms, the authorities
thought, was caused by scalding
water instead of by a disease.
I Mat the disease at the reoria Hospital
was due to impure water is
said to be well established.
According to Capt. Slier, pellagra
lias lately been discovered in New
York. He expects other communi*
ties, however, soon to he heard from.
The army surgeons do not consider
they have found out all there is to
be found about the origin of the
disease. They still look on corn as
one of tin* food products that may
cause it, but it is considered that
many eatable foods of a starchy nature
may also be responsible in part.
It is thought pellagra is caused
bv the action ot starchy substances
on the damaged linings of tlio Intestines.
It is said to bo now pre*
valing in North Carolina at an alarming
rate.

Discovery of Dynamite Curtridgo
Saved Trouble.
At Anapolis, Md., while coal for
the heating and power plant at the
Naval academy was being unioadel,
a cartridge coitp'ning about two
pounds of dynamite was discovered.
Had the cartridge been thrown under
a boiler the resulting evnlosion wnnul
l>robably nave caused a considerable
loan of life end property. The pr**sence
of the cartridge among the cai
1h believed to hove been entirely accidental.
It is probable that it was
used for mining the coal and failing
to explode was overlooked by the
miners. The cartridge was examined
at the Naval academy laboratory,
where it was stated there was no>
doubt that it was loaded with dynamite.
