'By F. M. Sandwith, M. D., F. R. C. P., Gresham Professor of Physic, Physician to the Albert Dock Hospital, Lecturer at the London School of Tropical Medicine, Vice President of the Tropical Section of the International Medical Congress for 1913, Honorary Member of the American Society of Tropical Medicine, and Consulting Physician to Kasr-el-Ainy Hospital, Cairo.It hardly seems three years ago since 1 was courteously invited to contribute an introductory paper to the National Conference of 1909, and now I have again been desired either to attend or, at least, to send a brief communication to the second triennial meeting of the National Association for the Study of Pellagra.My plea that I no longer live in a pellagrous country has been answered by the conveners of this conference in a way which makes it impossible for me to decline their later invitation.Three years ago I concluded my few introductory remarks by saying: "We are now waiting, in the confident hope that some of the pellagra problems, so long unsolved, may be successfully mastered in the United States."What is the state of our knowledge now?

It is generally chronic in nature and terminates in recovery, insanity, or death.The disease attacks all ages and seems to be peculiarly free from any tendency to select a particular period of life. My youngest patient was 22 months and the oldest 75 years with all ages between equally affected, except in infancy and childhood when the occurrence is said by most observers to be unusual. In the Peoria State Hospital 1 the following was the distribution of cases:From 20 to 29 years 4 cases" 30 to 39 " 18 cases" 40 to 49 " 28 cases" 50 to 59 " 29 cases" 60 to 69 " 16 cases" 70 to 79 " .-.. 3 cases" 80 to 89 " 2 casesMerk's table is of greater value for the reason that the above table was made from the inmates of an insane institution where there were no children and where the ages were not to be considered as representing the whole community. Merk's cases were of all ages and not from an institution whose inmates were of any special period of life.i Bulletin of the Illinois State Board of Health, Vol. V, No. 7, p. 442.From a 0 to 5 5 to 15 15 to 30 30 to 40 40 to 50 50 to 60 60 to 70 70 Merk's Table of Agesyears 46 cases or 0.9%" 406 cases or 8.3%" 715 cases or 14.7%" 919 cases or 19.0%" 1017 cases or 21.0%" 868 cases or 18.7%" 638 cases or 13.1%" 288 cases or 4.6%100.3%Fio. 5. — Professor Sambon And Umrebto Pavinato, Aged 3.
