The Tongue in Addison's Anaemia

Abstract

CORRESPONDENCE, any work done by this National Council for Mental Hygiene. Not long since I did meet a member of the Council, and asked hiim how it was getting on; what it had so far achieved. The reply I got was somewhat disconcerting. " All I know," he said, " about the association is that I have had letters asking me for my subscriptions." Can anyone enlighten those interested in mental hygiene as to what has happened to this association, whose birth was heralded by great trumiipet blasts from the leading papers? To the uninitiated this National Council for Mental Hlygiene can only be likened to "The young man who jumped off the top of St. Paul's, And has never done anything since."-I am, etc., LIONEL A. 7'WEATHERLY, M.D. Bournemoutih, Jan. 26th.

Pernicious Anemia and Tropical Sprue

“…The identity of these two diseases has been particularly insisted on by Wood,1 who has accepted Ashford's theory that Monilia causes sprue, and who has been able to take cultures of this yeast in all of his recent cases of pernicious anemia. Priston 6 has written on the similarity of the appearance of the tongue in the two conditions. We have recently published our results 2 with mouth and stool cultures in eleven cases of sprue and seventeen cases of pernicious anemia.…”
