J. B. (John Benjamin) Rieger
b. 1886
Best known for early research on caffeine, this little-known scientific writer co-authored a careful experimental study that still circulates in public-domain collections. The surviving record is slim, but his work points to a strong connection with laboratory medicine and pharmacology in the early 1900s.

The Toxicity of Caffein: An experimental study on different species of animals
by William Salant, J. B. (John Benjamin) Rieger
About the author
Very little biographical information about J. B. Rieger survives in the sources I could confirm. He is listed in library and public-domain records as John Benjamin Rieger, born in 1886.
He is chiefly associated with The Toxicity of Caffein: An Experimental Study on Different Species of Animals, a scientific work co-authored with William Salant. The book examines how caffeine affected animals under different experimental conditions, which places Rieger in the world of early twentieth-century laboratory research.
Because the available records are so limited, it is safest to remember him as a researcher whose name endures through this specialized study rather than through a well-documented public career.
