To combat an epidemic of pellagra now on the rampage at Newport, a small place 22 miles from Morehead City, Dr. E.H. Bowling of Durham, recognized as an authority on treatment of the disease, will leave the city Sunday where he will co-operate with health officials of the place in an effort to curtail the malady.
It is stated that the appearance of a number of cases at the small place has cast terror into the ranks of the citizens. Local officials there were at a loss to know what to do and the spread of the disease seemed to be uncheckable. They made a special call for Dr. Bowling Saturday.
From page 15 of the Durham Morning Herald, Sunday, June 24, 1923
