He shared the 1929 Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology with Sir Frederick Hopkins. He was unable to personally give his acceptance speech in Stockholm because of increasingly failing health. He died a year later on November 5, 1930. The speech, published posthumously by Barend Jansen in 1959, and again, in Dutch translation, on the centenary of Eijkman's first decisive report in 1990, gloss over some of his errors and contains some exaggeration of his own role in the discovery of the cause of beriberi; this was quite unexpected from such a forthright, modest and industrious person as Eijkman. Tainsh mentioned a conversation he had had in early 1980s withe Professor Hendrikus Oomen, Eijkman's last surviving student: Oomen revealed that the real reason why Eijkman did not go to Stockholm in 1929 was that he remained convinced that beriberi was caused by toxins and not by a deficiency.
