by a heavy dependence on maize for food. It was at one time

scurvy}. It may also be caused by alcoholism or diease
causing an impairment of nutrition. It is also called {St.
Ignatius's itch}, maidism, mal de la rosa, mal rosso,

children is called infantile pellagra or kwashiorkor.

perpetual, etc., with multitudes of varieties in nearly
every class.
