| Summary: | This paper gives a detailed summary of treatment recommendations, advising the physician to "do everything possible to aid nutrition." Lengthy discussion follows. It includes, "Information for the Public About Pellagra." Mill village studies of Spartanburg, NC (the Thompson-McFadden Commission, 1912) are referenced, noting that the use of milk reduced incidents of the disease, and ruling out "corn meal as an essential cause of pellagra." The possibility of an insect vector is also discussed. |
