"A Preliminary Study Of Kentucky Localities In Which Pellagra Is Prevalent" by Harrison Garman presents an early investigation into the causes and spread of pellagra in Kentucky. Focusing on the condition of the corn crop and the potential role of insects or other agents in transmitting the disease, this study offers valuable insights into the epidemiological understanding of pellagra during a time when its etiology was not yet fully understood. Garman's work provides a historical perspective on the challenges faced by public health officials in addressing nutritional deficiencies and infectious diseases in rural communities. This study remains relevant for researchers and historians interested in the history of medicine, public health, and agricultural influences on human health.
