Pellagra: An American Problem is a historical book written by George McCallum Niles in 1912. The book explores the devastating effects of pellagra, a nutritional disease that was prevalent in the southern United States during the early 20th century. Niles provides a detailed account of the disease, including its symptoms, causes, and epidemiology. He also discusses the social and economic factors that contributed to the spread of pellagra, such as poverty, malnutrition, and inadequate healthcare. Niles argues that pellagra was not only a medical problem but also a social problem that required a comprehensive solution. The book includes numerous case studies and statistical data to support Niles’ arguments. Pellagra: An American Problem is a seminal work in the history of public health and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of medicine and healthcare in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
