Article title: pellagra Not due to corn
date published: may 22, 1910
This article reported that according to Professor Alessandrini of the University of Rome, pellagra is caused by a microbe found in water. He came to this conclusion after he studied the disease for many years. His studies were done where the disease was most prevalent and stated that he excluded the theory that the cause was from food.
He had no doubts that the water is a factor in the disease and he had found the microbe that caused it. If his findings were proven it was reported that pellagra might soon be a thing of the past.
