Curve A shows growth on typical scurvy diet of oats, bran and water (deficient in vitamin C). Curve B shows better growth for a time on oats and bran plus autoclaved milk, but eventual decline and death from scurvy. Curve C shows growth curve on diet of oats, bran and water, result- ing in scurvy; but cured by adding vitamin C (orange juice and autoclaved milk) to the diet.

Curve D shows the growth on the scurvy diet (oats, bran and water) plus 5 of orange juice daily; autoclaved milk added on the 56th day. Curve E shows optimum growth on diet of oats, bran and cabbage leaves; and Curve F on diet of oats, bran, autoclaved milk and 3 of orange juice daily. (Med. Res. Comm. Report '19; from Chick & Hume '17.) is also greatly retarded (in contrast with the effects of chronic general inanition). The symptoms may be obscure in latent cases. Rapid improvement in growth is obtained by addition of vitamin C in the form of orange juice, a result also noted by Chick and Dalyell ('21) and others. Water Deficiency (Aqueous Inanition).—The period of toleration of thirst varies greatly in man, as noted by Rowntree ('22), the recorded duration ranging
