ported in this country; one at Tutfcn-
loosn Ala. In 1800" tho otliur at Little
Itock Ark. a year or two later.
Dr Worsham anys that sinco his
connection with tho Institution com-
mencing in 1891 there hns been each
year a limited number of berl berl
cases principally occurring during tho
summer and fall months but novor
developing Into an epidemic until last
year. All told thoro woro over 200
enscs with twenty deaths giving a
death rate' of 10 per oentt Not an om-
ployo of tho institution contracted tho
discaso from pationts although they
were thrown together continuously.
While Infectious berl berl is In nowlso
contagious. Dr Wowham says that
in Ills opinion three conditions must
prevail boforo berl berl can develop.
First crowding together a number of
people in the same building with tho
absonco of adequate exercise; a re-
stricted diet consisting largoty of rlco
and other corals; a lowered vitality
with lessened power of resistance. To
this report Dr Worsham adds a note
Written September 1 1908 to tho effect
that after withdrawing Tlco as a food
the disease disappeared convincing
him that tho discaso Is largely duo
to a diet of rice.
IlCcohinicds "Ways to Curo KIcp.
Having devoted considerable study
to the question ho finds that tho best
rules for creating rice incapablo of
producing berl berl when employed as
a diet is to have it freshly made for
consumption or have it cured by boil-
ing or heating in tho husk before strip-
ping. Dr. Worsham recommends that
theso rules be observed at the mills
as Texas Is coming to the front as a
rice-growing country and the state
institutions are being largely supplied
with tho product for dietary use.
Recommendations for betterments
through additional appropriations
have already been published.
Regarding the State Pasteur Insti-
tute tho report shows that In 1907
there were treated 310 patients; in
1908 353. The number of paUents
treated Bince the beginning of the in-
stitution 976. The source of inocula-
tion is variously Bhown as having beqn
from calves cows dogs house cats
horses pigs skunks wolves and coy-
otes inoculation from dogs preponder-
ating. Patients treated havo resided
in Oklahoma Mexico N'ew Mexico
zona. Arkansas Colorado and
Tex;
There have been a larger number
of indigent patients cared for than
non-Indigent. Tbero was a balance
to the credit of the Institution's fund
of $4159.52 August' 31 1908.
