Wartime Rationing, Food Aid, and "Civilized" Sickness: The Problem of Pellagra in 1918

I added a short bit at the top! I've been wanting to write about pellagra for a long time, and the Journal of the Franklin Institute article just gave me a good entry point. I think it's a good counterpoint to the treatment of tuberculosis that became less associated with socioeconomic status over the course of the Progressive Era. Pellagra is easier to treat but retained its stigma into the 1930s.
