This study is typical of the scientific investigations which are being
carried out by the Public Health Service, all of which have a direct
bearing on eradicating the disease. The malaria work now includes the
collection of morbidity data, malaria surveys, demonstration work,
scientific field and laboratory studies, educational campaigns, and
special studies of impounded water and drainage projects.

We are in receipt of the second edition of this work upon a subject that
has of late attracted a great deal of attention from the profession.
Pellagra has in recent years sprang up in an unaccountable manner,
especially in the southern section of the United States, and it behooves
every practicing physician to equip himself with such knowledge as will
enable him to recognize the disease when encountered in his practice and
to handle it in a scientific manner. This work in its second edition,
although following the appearance of the first edition so closely has
undergone many changes and had numerous additions so that it has been
brought fully up with the present state of knowledge. The chapter on
etiology contains the results of the recent investigations of Dr. Joseph
Goldberger, Special U. S. Agent for the study of the disease, and
Thompson-McFadden Commission on Pellagra. The work is that of a southern
physician and should receive the warm support of southern physicians
everywhere.
