The effects of inanition and The effects of inanition and malnutrition upon growth and structure effectsofinaniti00jack Year: 1925 EFFECTS ON THE VISUAL APPARATUS 217 corresponds to human keratomalacia, and belongs in the category of diseases due to partial inanition, such as scurvy and beriberi. Some of the changes in the eyes of rats with experimental xerophthalmia are shown in Figs. 68 and 69. Fig. 68.—Photograph of two albino rats of the same litter, placed at 3 weeks of age on a diet deficient in vitamin A (patent wheat flour, 66 per cent; 'Crisco,' 20 per cent; casein, 5 per cent; yeast, 5 per cent; plaster of Paris, 2 per cent; sodium chloride, 2 per cent). In about a month, both developed xerophthalmia. This is shown in rat 'A,' with perforated cornea and protruding lens in the right eye. Rat 'B' had a similar ophthalmia, without corneal perforation, but recovered perfectly (as shown in the photograph) in 6 days after the addition of dried spinach to the diet.
