Dr Pickles practised in Aysgarth, Yorkshire. At a time when the general practice was regarded as a poor relation of the ‘proper’ academic medicine practised by hospital consultants, he established a reputation for epidemiological research conducted within his own practice. In 1930, he published an account in the British Medical Journal of an epidemic of catarrhal jaundice (later known as Infectious Hepatitis) in Wensleydale the previous year, in which he traced the entire epidemic affecting 250 people to a single child, and also established the long incubation of the disease of between 26 and 35 days. Pickles’ seminal text 'Epidemiology in Country Practice' appeared in 1937. He is shown wearing red and green robes (DSc University of Leeds) and pin-striped suit.
