diseases were beriberi (a word derived from the language of Polynesian natives meaning “I can’t move, I can’t move”) and scurvy, an illness well known to seamen. It took researchers until 1912 to uncover the [...] answer. On account of poor health, Eijkman had to leave Jakarta in 1896, never to return, but his move back to Amsterdam did not stop the research efforts, in either Java or the Netherlands, to find the [...] that the white rice contained the germ that caused beriberi and that the red coating, which was re- moved by polishing the rice, provided an antitoxin. This point is crucial to understanding why successful
