PELLAGRA CANNOT BE
CURED BY USE OF
QUACK MEDICINES
RECORDER’S COURT
Raleigh, N. C., Aug 12—Informa
tion reaching the State Board oJ
Health confirms the reports of masy
sales of quack medicines for pella-
gn at this time The only remedy
for pellagra is diet, supplemented
ecaxt treatmrat for specific associat
ed conditions imder the direction of
a competent physician. Any money
spent for miail order nostrums is
worse than waste. Such remedies can
not possibly help the patient and
do indefinite harm by causing the
victim to delay proper treatment of
ten imtil it is too late. A recent sdi-j
torial in the Winston-S^em Journal'
along this line is so particularly ap
propriate that it is herewith quoted
in full:
“Quack Medicines Cause Many Tragic
Deaths”
There is only one cure for pella
gra. That is proper diet Failure to
understand this fact has been the
cause of inmumeraible deaths in North
Carolina Failure to appreciate this
fact is the reason why pellagra is
increasing so rapidly in many sec
tions of the State.”
‘,There is no way to estimate how
many people have died because they
thought they could cure pellagra with
‘quack’ remedy. For years the ven
dors of these fake medicines have
preyed upon the ignorance of people
who are ill, thousands of them no
douibt in ihe first stages of pellagra,
due to improper diet.
“The tifine is coming -in North
Carolina when no medicine will be
sold to the public as a cure or remedy
for any disease without first obtain
ing the stamp of approval from, the
fltate Board of Health.” i
No book is taught in our public
shooia which is not first approved by
the State Boort of Education. We
are particular about what is injected
into our children’s minds. Why
shouldn’t we be equally particular
about what is injected into their
wdies?

Army worms are damaging crops
in ^[iqnie jaMts.^ pf__thje county so the
control information is given
FUIffiOWS: A deep furrow is quite
effective in checking the spread of
the worms. The guiding cossideration
is that the worms must be forced
to dimb the steep (vertical) side of
the furrow in oMer to cross it, there
fore the furrow should be as deep
.ind a.3 dean cut as possible, and it
is still more effective if the vertical
side be ‘trimmed’ or ‘cut under’ with
spade or hoe so it will overhang
slightly. Many of the worms, not
able to cross such a furrow wiU
gather in it in great number in. tueir
efforts to reach new food, and may
there be killed.
Always list the earth toward the
af"*a already infested by the worms,
and away from the field or crop
to be protected, so that they will
be forced to d'mb the steep side in
order bo cross. Thus, if they are
already present around a field to be
protected, plow a deep furrow around
the field, listing the earth away from
the field. In every case, compel them
to dimb the steep vertical side of the
furrow to get • into new areas.
As the worms congi^gate in the
furrow they may be killed by any
one of several methods: by blast-
torch, wetting with kerosene, scat
tering a little dry straw along the
furrow and burning, etc. But the
methods most likely to be chosen are
the follow-'ng: (1) by scattering poi
soned bran-mash bait (described lat
er) in the furrow, or (2) by dragging
a log or ipole Iragfthwise the furrow
to crush the worms, in which ca®e
it may be necessary to repair the
furrow-side to keep it properly steep,
or (3) by digging a post-hole about
a foot
in bottom
tion traps, where they can be ea^y
ci'\tshed or left to starve. K they
should be so numerous as to fill the
poat-holes, they should be ldlle4
the holes emptied or new holes made.
