Beriberi is an unfamiliar disease in the western world and Vitamin B 1 is so widely dispersed among staple articles of diet that B 1 deficiency is not especially common. In the lay mind it has been overshadowed lately by the "anti-infective" Vitamin A (fish oil, spinach, carrots, milk, butter, etc.), the anti-scurvy Vitamin C (orange juice, lettuce, celery, etc.) and the antirachitic Vitamin D (fish oil, egg yolks, irradiated foods, etc.).

Then I pulled out my watch and gosh all was left was ashes. 'Jiminy it must be late!' I thunk, and run into the East Coatroom for my Bromo Seltzer. It was gone and they were doing big bottles around the empty apples. So I drank something else which tasted fine so when the bottle came round again I took...
