WHAT CAN VITAMINS DO?

WHAT CAN VITAMINS DO? Students of the physiology of nutrition have been assiduously engaged during much of the last decade in securing facts with respect to the rôle of the vitamins. Varied manifestations of so-called avitaminosis have been recognized, and in several types the probable interrelations of cause and effect have been discovered. Probably scurvy, beriberi and rickets stand out as the most conspicuous instances in which the effect of the lack of certain food factors is almost universally admitted. It is a natural further stage in the evolution of knowledge to find interest in the question of how the protective vitamins act, now that the probability of their existence has been put on a more secure experimental basis.
