Robeson Medical Society Disagrees
With Goldberger Theory Disease
Has Caused More Deaths In Kob
taon bince Last April Ttian Tuber
culosis, l'yphoid, Diphtheria and
Scarlet Fever Combined.
To tne tMitof of The hooesonian:
At a special meelmg of the Robe
son Court cv ivferiirai Soriptv hplH in
Lamberton Nov. 3d, peilagra was the
fauDject principally discussed. A very
interesting paper was read by Lnr. B.
. Pagt, and discussed by nearly
cverV member nresent All exnressed
their opinion as to the probable cause
of this disease. - The society unani-
mously passed a resolution disagree-;
ing witn' the theory of Dr. Goldoerg-I
er, whose opinion nas been repeated
ly published in the different news-
was due to an unbalanced diet alone.
A committee was appointed to pre
pare an article for The Kobesonian
as the beginning of an effort to check
the spread of tnis disease in Robeson
county, which since iast April has
caused more deaths than tuberculo-
sis,
typhoid fever, diphtheria and
scarlet fever combined,
The Thompson-McFadden Pellegra
Commission, which had been work
ing in Spartanburg county, S. C,
where there is Drooabiv more Della-
grathan m ahyothergeetion c-f simrHerdayr
nar size in the bouth, in their 1914
report naa come to tne conclusion
that pellagra was not caused by the
toxins of molded fnaize, as was the
prevailing opinion where the disease
first made its appearance in this
country, but in ail probability " was
due to some germ that had not been
found. The National Pellagra Con
ference which met at Columbia, S.
C, in October of this year, in their
report couujd only sayjthat the cause
of peilagra had not been found, but
that some valuable work had been
done since their meeting three years
ago and it was hoped that by their
next . meeting three years hence it
corfld be said that the cause of pel
lagra had been found.
in the last few months Dr. Gold
berger has come out with the theory
iliat the cause of this, disease was an,1
excess of starchy foods, as sweets of
all kinds, potatoes, rice and " 'grits
with a deficiency of meats, eggs,
milk, etc., and advised a more varied
diet as a preventative against pel
lagra. We believe that poor food
poor housing and unsanitary sur
roundings generally are important
predisposing factors, just as it is in
all infectious diseases. But we do
not believe that it is the exciting
cause, and to let the people rest on
the assumption that it is a matter
of diet alone will do harm rather than
good, in that it may lead them to
neglect the important precautions
necessary to prevent an infectious
disease.
It is not unusual to see from two
to five and in one instance as many
as nine cases in one family. We
have a record of an entire family de
veloping the disease within a few
weeks after moving into a house pre
viuusiy uccupieu vy . fuk""
a case developing the disease short
Iv alter carrying a specimen oi ex
creta from a pellagrous patient to a
laboratory for examination. This pa-
tient showed absolutely no signs of
peiiagra piiui tu tins tunc.
This disease is not coniinea ex
clusivelv to the poorer classes as pre
vicusly claimed; several case3 have
come under our observation m iam
ilies of considerable means, who live
on a varied diet under good sanitary
conditions.
Though the exaet germ has not
been discovered, nor its mode of
transmission determined, we are
strongly of the opinion that it is an
infection, transmitted irom one pa
tient to the other m a way some
what similar to that of typhoid fever,
rlvsenterv and other bowel affections
That is, direct from the excreta of a
nellaerin to a healthy individual by
means of flies, contaminated milk,
water, green vegetables and un.
cleanliness generally. But through
whatever channel the infection oc.
curs, for new cases to arise we be
lieve the virus must be obtained
from another patient. And from the
standpoint of prevention we believe
that the question will finally narrow
down to the disinfection of all ex
creta and objects which may acci
dentally be contaminated by these
excretions, together with building of
sanitary privies, destruction of the
house flv and cleanliness in general.
