an den Gichteren [Gichter(en) is often cited as the cause of death in children as an illness with cramps, high fever and chills. It was usually caused by intestinal diseases together with diarrhea and vomiting, which led to dehydration, lack of minerals and loss of strength. The disease often occurred in infants who were not breastfed because the children were then given unboiled cow's milk.]
