Dr. Joseph Goldberger was a physician in the early part of the 1900's.  He is credited with discovering the cause of pellagra, a curious disease which struck many people in the Southern U.S.  This week we will be examining the methods Dr. Goldberger used to solve the problem.  In doing so, we will identify the characteristics of a reliable scientific investigation.
