THE CAUSE OF KAKKE AND

PLAGUE

With reference, to an article in a recent issue of the Kobe Chronicle on the cause of the Japanese disease, kakke, a correspondent, who signs himself A theorist," writes to say that he has long been convinced that both kakke and plague are diseases closely connected with the condition of the grain used as food, Curiously enough, on the day our article on the subject appeared, the correspondent (a Incal resident) had just sent a letter on a similar subject to a Calenta paper, which is now for warded to us as a matter of interest, and from which we bave pleasure in quoting as follows:- "I have long been convinced that plague is directly connected with grain food, and after reading anicles in the Quarterly Re-iew my The Plague in No. 888, dated October 1991, and on : Facteur and his Discoveries "in No.

Is it not a fan that the worst outbreaks of plague verur ainongst people tbo poor to buy any but the lowest quality of grain food, and unable to purchase the usual Accessories which

the laws of nature have decreed should be enten with grain food (generally salted things of one sort ar another)?

"In Japan beri-beri, to my mind a kindred

disease in plane, is pretty well accepted to be a rice-food disease and has been practically stamped out of the Army and Navy by a change of diet; also in the Straits last year an increase in heri-beri amongst the lower classes was ascribed by a leading medical authority there to the consumption of imported rice (doubtless more or less damaged in, tran. sit). In the article in the Quarterly Review referred to, the plague in Bombay is stated to have first broken out and fer a time to have been almost confined to the Mandvi quarter, 'a crowded and insanitary district lying along

The article further stales: The connection of rats with plague is so general as to be evidental. It is found on examination that the disease t'ey die of is actually plague, and that their bodies are awarming with plague bacilli. They have been found dead in warehouses—especiallygranaries. "I would ruggest that the crusade against rats should be specially directed against grain- fed ones-1 do not approve of a wholesale stamping out of this scavenging species, and that whenever plague bacili be found in the bodies of rats their source of food should be traced as far as possible.

"As regards the prevention of plague epidemics and all disease amongst prople, the first and foremost is to provide them with sufficient sound food to sustain life. What is the use of cleanly surrou ́dings if the animal is allowed or even forced to eat foul food, es- pecially food in a more or less advanced stage of fermentation ?

"I would have the storage and sale of grain foods supervised with the object of allowing only sound grain to be used for food, and the consumption of salt (pure or in the form of salt fish, &c.) should be encouraged amongst grain:

fed people.

"The reason that Ceylon has been free from plague and also the tea plantations in India! ascribe in some degree to the fact that the rice | for the estates is kept up to a good standard under terms of the labour contracts."

NOTICE.

The correspondent also says that if the ex- periments on rice food referred to in our article "UNSIGNEES of CARGO per Steamship are continued he would sugges: that in relation CUNSIGNE

to them the theory that the diseases of kakke and plague may be pro esses of fermentation might be borne in mind with advantage. In the issue of Harpers Magazine for April he noticed in an article on "Physiological Im- munity" the words, "It was 1ft for a French chemist. Louis Pas'cur

. to reveal that disease is essentially a fermentation."

Finally the correspondent ventures to differ from the learned Tokyo doctor's opinion that "the change of diet has had no direct influence in ridding the Japanese Navy of kakke." To his mind the change of diet simply gave the germs a less congenial sail to develop in.

ENTERIC FEVER AND COLD-

WATER BATHS.

Captein Pridmore, J.M.S. tells in the Indian Medical Gazette how lives can be saved in cases of fever by the free use of the cold-water bath. He shows how, in almost all cases of fever, relief can be obtained and the tempera ture lowered without danger by pouring water. first tepid and then colder and colder, out of a jug over the patient as he lies on a commor string charpoy, ice being, when necessary, put into the water to make it cold enough. In his own case, when he was down with enteric in Burma, it was used with great success and without hesitation whenever his temperature reached 102. Many lives, ha considers, which might otherwise be saved are lost on recount of its not being generally known how easy of application is this method of treat ment. The occurrence of shivering will show,

at once, if it is overdone. It is said to be an ascertained fact that the use of cold water bath ing has reduced the mortality in enteric cases at least fifty per cent.
