Former 6. W. u. Chemist Finds
Most Potent Vitumin' S Makeup
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associsted Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-Discovery
of the chemical structure of the
most powerful physiological SUBJ
stance known to science, the B vita
min biotin, was announced last night
from Cornell University Medical
College.
1t is an acid, its new name is Al
letters, numerals and / single
quote long. This acid, diluted to
part in 500, ,000, 900 900, is still power
full enough to increase growth Of
yeast. It Is just now worth $4,000 :
600 an ounce due to difficulties OF
extraction from Its best sources,
liver or eggs.
Because Of recent startling dis
covery that this vitamin promoted
cancer in animals under some Pc
culiar circumstances, and the fur
ther fact that it is undoubtedly nee
essary to both health and life Of
humans, chemists and physicians
have eagerly waited for sufficient
supply for experiment.
Discovery Of the chemical struc-
ture clears the way to synthesize the
vitamin. The discovery also clears
the way to understanding why bio
tin Is so extraordinarily powerful
and why 1t has the effects found In
animal cancer.
