TO STUDY PELLAGRA. Physicians From Western North Carolina in Durham Studying the Disesae. Durham Herald. Dr. J. E. Moore and Dr. F. M Davis, of Canton, Haywood county, this state, came to Durham yester day afternoon, bringing Mr. W. W. Clark, of that place, to the Watts Hospital. Mr. Clark is suffering with an aggravated case of pellagra, and the Canton physicians have brought him "here to test the treat ment that is being given by the Durham doctors. The man has been placed on the immediate char ge of Dr. E. H. Bowling. "The Canton physicians are spend ing sometime here studying the treatment. There is an epidemic of the disease in the small western town, and a very large per cent of the people have died. Articles in the North Carolina medical journal telling of the treatment administer ed here attracted the attention of the western physicians. A letter of inquiry brought forth the invitation from a Durham doctor to bring one of the worst cases here for treat ment. That is what has been done. Though the patient has not yet reached the insane stage,, he is on the border. The medical author ities think that the man can be greatly relieved, if not permanently cured. This is not the first time that the medical fraternity of this city has been complimented for the able manner in which they have handled the pellagra situation here. It was stated on good authority last evening that over ninety per cent of the cases treated here are now being cured. This is a great er average than any where in the country, or the world for that mat ter, for in Italy, where pellagra is a national disease, almost every per son that has the disease dies. The pellagra situation here is not in the least alarming, though there are more known cases here today than at any time before.This is the opinion of some of the phy sicians, though others think that there are not so many cases. One medical man has placed the num ber as high as 200 and one phy sician in this ctiy has over 26 cases, most of whom are being suc cessfully treated. The' treatment that is given by the local doctors at least offers a temporary relief from the disease, when it is taken in time . And they think that a repetition of . the traetment a year after the disease first breaks out will affect a permanent cure- One of the greatest difficulites the phy sicians encounter is the failure of the patient to continue the treat ment when the breaking out is once stopped. Such is the case of Miss Ella Hilliard, who died yesterday on Smith street, just this side of East Durham. She had a slight attack last year and was treated, and temporarily- cured. Again this year the signs of the disease again appeared and so far got the better of her that the physicians was un able to do any thing for her. She was 23 years old. DURHAM FARMER SUICIDES- J. A. Vickers Tires of Life and Slashes His Throat with Razor. Durham Sun- One of the most largely attended fiineral services that has been held in the county for some time was held Sunday afternoon over the remains of J. A. Vickers, a well known farmer of the county, who committed suicide Saturday after noon at his home on the Pine street road several miles from the city. Mr. Vickers went to the barn at his home Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock, lay down upon a stack of hay and slashed his throat from ear to, ear with a razor. Death resulted immediately. Dr. N. M Johnson arrived on the scene a short time after the horrible act was committed, but the unfortunate man was beyond medical aid. The deceased had often spoken to his family of committing! suicide. He was subject to periods of ex treme melancholia. He lived on the farm of his father, and had re cently expressed much dissatisfac tion with life on the farm and with life in general. Saturday af ternoon about 3 o'clock his family found him at the barn on a stack of hay with his throat cut from ear to ear. The razor with which he had ended his life was lying be side him. One of the county officers went out and together with Dr. Johnson, . made an investigation. No inquest was thought necessary as there was no sign that would lead . to anything except the theory of suicide- lb e deceased is survived by a wife and three children. He is al so survived by a brother,Mr. Richard Vickers, of the county, and one sister. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. J. T. Hackney Sun day afternoon at 3; 30 o'clock, and the interment was at the family burying ground. . Master Lanier Host. Master Roger Gregory Lanier, entertained a number of his lit tle friends Monday afternoon at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. Lanier.
