| Notes |
- During the 1930's the Red Cross assisted in a program to eliminate pellagra, which was epidemic in the South. Pellagra is disease caused by a deficiency of niacin (one of the B complex vitamins) in the diet. Symptoms of the disease include scaly skin sores, diarrhea, and mental illness. Mrs. Leon Frohsin served as Chairman of the campaign to eliminate pellagra in Atlanta. [1]
