TO MAKETIGHT ON PELLAGRA
Secretary McAdoo Asks for a Pellagra
Hospital, for the South.
Washington. Secretary McAdoo
asked congress to appropriate $47,000
fur a pelalgra hospital ut soimi South
ern point. . ,
Secretary McAdoo In his letter to the
speaker pointed out that pellagra has
imposed great financial burdens osJ
communities in which it yrevalls and
that while investigations oT pellagra
have been systematically carried on
at the marine hospital at Savannah tor
several years, and importnnt bacteri-
ologlc and epidemiologic studies are
being carried on from that station,
that institution has no f'icillllcs for
the conduct of metabolic and physico
chemical studies. The latter studies
are necessary at this time, according
to the public health service, because
of the suspicion of the association of
the disease with diet and metabolism.
Secretary McAdoo' added: ;
"A number of food products are un
der suspicion, thus Implicating several
Important Industries, and it becomes
important from both 'sanitary and eco
nomic standpoints to determine Once
and for all what bearing, if any, foods
have on the continuance of the dis
ease. These studies necesasrlly will
be of a highly technical nature, requir
ing special facilities to guard against
the possibility of error creeping, in
during the experiment.
