article title: more causes of pellagra
date publised: october 9, 1909
This article declared that musty corn might not be the only cause of pellagra and that many causes could still be linked to impure water after reports from army surgeon's investigations. Impure water was found in a hospital for the insane in New York by Dr. Joseph F. Siler and Henry J. Nichols.
There was still focus around corn as one of the food products that cause the disease by army surgeons as well as looking at other vegetables with starchy nature. Another theory was that pellagra might be caused by starchy substances on the damaged linings of the intestines.
