Abstract

The article discusses the history of American pellagra epidemic, which began with physician George H. Searcy's discovery of this nutritional deficiency in Mobile, Alabama in 1906 to 2003, and the Southern pride. Topics include the role of U.S. Public Health Service officer Joseph Goldberger and his research team on the epidemic as a result of the South economic conditions, Goldberger's contribution to the science of human nutrition, and the successful treatment of pellegra with nicotinic acid.
