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.
