520 One hundred years ago, a mysterious and alarming illness
spread across America's South, striking tens of thousands
of victims. No one knew what caused it or how to treat it.
People were left weak, disfigured, insane, and in some
cases, dead. Award winning science and history writer Gail
Jarrow tracks this disease, commonly known as pellagra,
and highlights how doctors, scientists, and public health
officials finally defeated it. Illustrated with 100
archival photographs, includes stories about real life
pellagra victims and accounts of scientific
investigations.
