‎ Première édition séparée. "La pellagre ne détruit pas seulement le corps ; elle attaque aussi l'intelligence, et la folie pellagreuse n'est que le dernier terme dune dégénérescence lente, progressive, que favorisent la misère, l'insalubrité et lisolement." La pellagre est une maladie nutritionnelle, provoquée par une carence en niacine (vitamine B3). Elle touchait surtout les populations rurales pauvres du sud de l'Europe (Italie, Espagne et sud de la France), où le maïs constituait la base de lalimentation. Mal préparé, le maïs ne libère pas la niacine quil contient. Ce texte est un des premiers à établir un lien entre carence alimentaire et trouble mental. C'est la naissance de la psychiatrie somatique. Ce mémoire rédigé après un séjour de dix mois en Italie avait été publié auparavant dans les "Mémoires de l'Académie des sciences." Cachet du Dr. F. Brémond sur le titre. In-8 de VIII, 95 pp. Cartonnage moderne. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - First separate edition. Pellagra not only destroys the body; it also attacks the mind, and pellagra madness is only the final stage of a slow, progressive degeneration, exacerbated by poverty, poor health, and isolation. Pellagra is a nutritional disease caused by a deficiency of niacin (vitamin B3). It mainly affected poor rural populations in southern Europe (Italy, Spain, and southern France), where corn was the staple food. When poorly prepared, corn does not release the niacin it contains. This text is one of the first to establish a link between nutritional deficiency and mental disorder. It marks the birth of somatic psychiatry. This memoir, written after a ten-month stay in Italy, had previously been published in 'Mémoires de l'Académie des sciences.' Dr. F. Brémond's stamp on the title page. - ‎
