PICA
This 1957 study on pica is interesting because:
1) It's among the first to show that pica is caused by iron deficiency anemia. The authors write: "The conclusion is drawn that iron deficiency is the major cause of pica and that iron therapy is curative".

2) The authors refer to past therapies for pica which included:
- Psychological advice
- Whipping
- Physical restraint
- An energetic nanny
... ah, the good ol' days 😉
