Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Treatise on Pellagra, for the General Practitioner The only justification for this book is the fact that when it was begun there was not a single treatise on the subject in the English language except the short articles in Albutt´s System and the Encyclopedia Britannica. The beginning of this book was the translation of Tuczek´s "Anatom. und pathologisch. Studien ueber die Pellagra." As this was not a complete discourse on the subject it was necessary to read other works in German, French, and Italian. In the five years that have elapsed the number of these translations has grown and to the knowledge gleaned from these European masters has been added an experience with a large number of cases of the disease. During this period there has been much written on the subject in this country and the study of the disease has been greatly advanced by the establishment of the National Pellagra Conference which meets annually. It is one of the most interesting chapters in American medical history - this appearance of pellagra. It has been given to few to see the appearance of an entirely unknown disease on virgin soil and to watch the evolution of that disease through all the stages of adaptation to a new field. It has been a study of great sociological as well as medical importance. The medical profession owes a debt of gratitude to George H. Searcy of Alabama for his splendid work in the first recognition of an outbreak of this disease in the home of the Indian corn. There is also a debt that cannot soon be discharged to J. W. Babcock of South Carolina for his indomitable perseverence in bringing to the attention of the medical profession and the national government the outbreak of the greatest scourge which has yet afflicted the American people; and to him is also due the great credit for the founding of the National Pellagra Conference which is destined to be one of the most important medical and public health organizations in the country.
