niyHtery was added, however, when
it was said that tills might nut be
Ihe primary cause of iiis ailment.
Twenty of Dr. (ioldherger's as
sociates volunteered for blood
transfusions when it was learned
that, these were needed and four

Dr. Goldberger gained famo by
his work with pellagra, his studies
showing that It was caused by the
absence of a specific vitamin,
which he named "PP."
