A TERRIBLE DISEASE.
A hundred thousand persons are annually attacked in Lombardy, Italy, by a terrible disease to which a large portion succumb. The disease is ©occasioned by eating damaged maize or Indian corn, from America. The victims appear to die of extreme emanciation ; and one of the alarming features of the malady is that it is hereditary. Those who are attacked by it transmit it to their oflf-spring, and thus there is no calculating the far-reaching consequences of this appalling malady.
