Jail Stomatitis

چکیده
In the event of its being of interest to the writer, and may be to others, I send yon the following ?0tes with regard to a disease most prevalent in this district, both in children and adults, and one which is often very obstinate in lending itself to treatment. I have seen it in all its varied forms. In children chiefly as small blisters, in adults commonly as a purple sponginess of the gums with loosening of the teeth. The " ulcerative" variety is not so common. The " mercurial " with firm, not soft, gums, is not rare. Firstly .?The population is chiefly rural. The diet is almost entirely " Dal " and Cliapaties " and with few extras. We have therefore a diet which one may say contains little or no acids. Thus there is some excuse for those who maintain that the condition is due to scurvy, did we not investigate a bit further. ?
