These statements are extracts from tht :

his exhaustive studies into the provinces 0.
Perugia, Kome, Padova, Milan, Brescia anc
Bergamo. He reports that the disease is endemic rather than epidemic
and that the centers of infection have remained the same for a century
He found that when a person affected by the disease moved into a non
pellagrous district no spread of pellagra occurred. He observed, hore
over, that wherever pellagra was, there, too, was the sand fly, and that
tillers of the soil who were most expoeed to this fly were oftencst affected
The sand fly is a midge, or gnat. Whether we have the same kind
of sand flv in thia country that Sambon studied in Italy the writer it
not prepared to say ; but he is informed by a state entomologist that wi
