One animal lived for about 70 days in a condition of chronic scurvy and two others lived for 66 days exhibiting distinct soreness of the joints, the experiment being then terminated by the lack of further supplies of the dried cabbage. A review of the symptoms in life and of the post-mortem appearances shows that these three animals were suffering from scurvy in a more or less acute form. The protection was therefore partial, but was cer- tainly greater than was received by the animals on a similar ration of the unboiled dried cabbage. 500- 4,00 - m 300. 200 Days 10 20 30 40 50 60 Fig. 1.
