The high incidence of Beri-beri in the 1890s and 1900s coupled with the ignorance of its causation led to many forms of treatment, culminating in the establishment of a "specialised hospital" in Singapore. However, the "anti-beri-beri" factor in unpolished rice soon made this hospital redundant.
19世纪90年代和20世纪初，脚气病的高发病率以及对其病因的无知导致了多种治疗方法的出现，最终在新加坡建立了一家“专科医院”。然而，糙米中的“抗脚气病”因素很快使这家医院变得多余。
