have hobbled out pitiable exist

recently no one suspected it was
because of lack of a specific mys-
FERROUS antirachitic yitamin now
known to exist in certain foods.
About thirty years ago it was
known that chickens fed on
polished rice developed beri-beri,
and that the same chickens fed
on whole rice recovered; but no
one then suspected the existence
OF an antineuritic vitamin In the
polishings OF rice or In milk.
Innumerable experiments have
now proved the existence OF four,
and possibly five, vitamins, and
their necessity for human life and
the metabolism OF all food. Be-
cause of their minute amounts,
their close association with he
complex food substances, their
proneness to disappear under
manipulation, and because no good
controls could be devised in test
ing, they defied isolation. But,
by relying on feeding ard by huge
industry and patience, definite re-
suits have been obtained-and
civilization again catches up with
