Abstract:

This is a section of the book The Challenge of Epidemiology: Issues and Selected Readings. Edited by four eminent epidemiologists, this book consolidates, for the first time, a core of landmark articles on the evolution, scope and limitations, uses, and prospects of epidemiology. An outstanding feature of the book is the inclusion of the editors' assessments of the realm of epidemiology, where it is and where it should be going. It represents a useful tool for both students and practicing professionals and provides a much-needed frame of reference for reorienting the practice of epidemiology. The book is a collection of 91 articles, grouped in five parts. This article presents a study on the relation of economic conditions (income and others) to the prevalence and incidence of pellagra in cotton-mill villages of South Carolina in 1916. A detailed examination of the villages, as well as a comparison of incidences between villages and household, is discussed in the article.
