This, he gravely asserted, was from the fact that the soldier were victim of beri-berl. The ridiculous part of this Is that the disease In question brings on paralysis, and regiments regi-ments of men so affected would be unable to masch at all. In a general way. beriberi beri-beri can be said to affect the human body very much aa doe diphtheria." Washington Washing-ton Post. |
