Excerpt from Pellagra We have earnestly striven to deal adequately with all these difficulties, and in so doing have not only consulted a great many original sources, but we have, for the sake of clearness, practically compared, word for word, the French text with the original Italian of Professor Lombroso. We have also endeavored to include the latest opinions regarding the possible parasitic origin of pellagra. Certain striking phases of the history of the sub jcet which could not be included in the body of the book, have been inserted as appendices. We have compiled an English bibliography upon pellagra and have, in addition, listed many of the most important foreign contributions to the subject. Our obligations to the literature of pellagra are hereby acknowledged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
