* TWELFTH BIENNIAL REPORT. 59 J accounted for the general skin and nervous symptoms as malnutrition, and, in the case of two men and one woman, directly due to alcoholic abuse. Dr. Stiles : I have seen two cases, one in South Carolina and one in Alabama, both recorded by the physicians who had them in charge. In one of these cases my examination was made and coincident thereto parasitic infection was found. The question is raised. Is not pellagra of parasitic infection ? If it is, it is something new to me. The two cases that I saw, in Alabama and South Carolina^ one is totally different from any symptom I ever saw. In connection with the alleged cause it is interesting to note that it is particularly in Antwerp, Bremen and Copenhagen that complaints have been made regarding spoiled corn; and yet in that part of the world pellagra is unknoAvn. I mention this as an interesting fact—that spoiled corn does not seem to cause the disease. Dr. W. S. Eankin : I desire to report a case that is interesting in the light of this recent and valuable work on pellagra. The patient, a young man twenty-five years of age, a student at Wake Forest College, has suffered every spring and summer for the last three years with a peculiar skin lesion. The lesion, svmmetrical in distribution, consists of an ab- 7 o / normally smooth, hairless, slightly red and sensitive skin, about the size of a dollar, on the dorsal surface of the hands just above the metacarpo-phalangeal articulation. Knowing Dr. Wood's interest in the relation of malaria to Raynaud's disease, and believing this case to bear some relation to some of the varieties of Raynaud's disease, I referred the case to him. At his suggestion the patient began a course of Fowler's solution, but was unable to note much change in his hands. In April of this year the patient consulted my colleague. Dr. Gaines, whose attention had been attracted by recent liter-
