It is interesting to note in this case that although the consumption of autoclaved milk increased from the 33rd day, the weight curve continued to fall steadily until after the orange juice was administered. Increased consumption of milk autoclaved at 120° C. for an hour had therefore no beneficial effect in scurvy. Chart 5 is concerned with guinea-pig No. 267, which developed scurvy on a diet of oats, bran and autoclaved milk, and was first treated with paraffin (as Nos. 269 and 270), but also received no benefit; later this treatment was changed for a daily dose of orange juice and immediate recovery from scurvy began. Our experiments upon this point, as far as they go, do not, therefore, confirm the conclusion of McCollum and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Biochemical Society (Great Britain); University of Liverpool.
