Congress urged to fund pellagra study voyage in South
The Marine Hospital Service seeks authority and funds from Congress to dispatch an expert or commission to Southern states to study pellagra. Assistant Surgeon Lavinder reports cases in the region, especially South Carolina, with outbreaks in Alabama’s Mount Vernon asylum in 1897. Pellagra, linked to poor corn meal, causes skin lesions and nervous derangement leading to insanity. Surgeon General Wyman vows a sustained campaign similar to yellow fever and plague efforts.
