Disease in 1950s Ireland

    Hello,

    I'm wondering if someone can help me. I'm looking for information for a piece of short fiction on common diseases in Ireland in the 1950's. Tuberculosis springs to mind but I'm looking for a disease whose symptoms are more subtle and potentially curable if acted on quickly enough. Also not a disease that is solely linked to poverty.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks!

    Alcoholism ? Might be worth looking up .

    It may have crossed the class divide but large % would most likley have being with the poor .

    My Left Foot springs to mind but it was hardly a disease and it was the 60's?

    I never did read it.
