The main illnesses were those that are caused by malnutrition and vitamin deficiency- scurvey, beri-beri, kwashiorkor, ricketts and others. Children suffered from stunted growth and mental inhibitions, adults also suffered from eyesight problems, lowered immune systems, severe mouth & gum infections and other diseases.
A lot of the ailments suffered by America's poorest people during the 'Dust Bowl' period of the '30s, are the same as those that are endured by many people in the Third World today (i.e. Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone and other impoverished African nations- also regions of Afghanistan, far-flung parts of India, and so on). Look up 'The Dust Bowl- ailments' or 'The Great Depression' on Google and you might find out more.
