Dr. Goldberger took a bunch of healthy prisoners (prisoners without Pellagra) to a sanitary building with screens on the doors and windows so no insects could get in. The building was cleaned every week and the prisoners diet was changed to one consisting of corn and fatback (a piece of meat with a bunch of fat). After a week or two seven out of nine prisoners had Pellagra.
