One shot of vitamin 81 has been known to
turn a weeping frightened nervous wreck"
into perfectly normal person within half
hour
This same vitamin according TO reports,
saved the matrimonial happiness Of one well
known scientist He had been happily mar
ried for quarter of a century when sud
denly he and his wife started pickering and
disagreeing so much that a divorce seemed to
be the only solution
Then TO the rescue came one Of his nu-
tritionst friends. He knew that the wife was
in the habit of taking sleeping pills and others
TO quiet her nerves, and recommended that
Vitamin 81 pills be substituted for these with
out the wifes knowledge They we're,
She took the tablets regularly. Soon she
began to wonder why she had been angry and
upset with her husband. Her nerves Gained
down her old self returned and the matri-
monial smash-up averted.
Vitamns A. b. c. and D-as medical
tools-work similarly dramatic cures in their
own sphere of usefulness 1t is well-known
that each cures its own particular deficiency

And deficiency diseases arc plaques that
have been the scourge of mankind for cen
turtles Beriber was first referred to- it is
believed, as early as 270O b. c. Hippocrates,
the father of western medicine described
scurvy about 400 B. G. And ricketts, and
pellagra are old in the history OF medicine.
But in spite of the fact that you don't
have any Of these diseases, nor does your
next-door neighbor it was pointed out re-
Gently by the noted vtaInin researcher. DR..
Robert r. Williams of the Bell Telephone La
boratories New York, that none of these long
known diseases have been systematically era
dicated from our country.
With the increased use of orange Juice and
cod liver oil for infants, infante scurvy and

and infections, have poor appetite and case
Of the filters. or are listless and losing weight
certainly you should your doctor.
There may be some trouble that has
nothing to do with diet but he may find that
you have deficiency of one or more vita
Minis and recommend that you take some pills.
When the doctor recommends that you
need more vitamins than those in your daily
intake of food he is basing his suggestions
on special signs of need which he finds in
his examination.
They may be the beginning symptoms of
the well known deficiency diseases, such as
beriberi, pellagra, scurvy or-in the case Of
children ricketts,
Or he may prescribe extra vitamns for a
general rundown condition, peculiar sus-
ceptblity to colds and infections, failure
of your digestive system 20 utilize foods prop
erly, or for some other
Just as botansts and horteulturists have
found that growing plants and trees some
times need vitamins that they cannot get from
the soil either because they are not in the
soil or for some other special reason, people
sometimes need an extra shot
But most health experts will agree that
the shot shouldn't be self-prescrbed. Just
check in with your doctor when you think you
need to take vitamin pills. You may be right.
For people who are disappointed because
this is not article telling of all the magic
and seeming miracles that yitamins have to
their credit we might explain that those feats
belong in the field Of medicine.
Niacin beside being preventive and cure
for the disease called pellagra, is playing
important part in the treatment of certain
cases Of mental disorders, such as manic ex-
citement. decisions, Authorizations and de-
lerium tremens.

do with the amount OF vitamins the eater
gets out Of them
In general it is wise 10 cook all vege-
tables in only a small amount of water and
never 10 use soda 10 keep them green in color
Several vtamins are easily soluble in water
so what liquid there is after they are prepared
should be saved and used.
Commercial canning Of foods doesn't usual
ly destroy Ttamns, because experts have
worked out the best way Of preserving these
necessary food elements
Bakers and millers are doing their share
too, 10 cooperate With the government in inn
proving the health of every man. woman and
child in the country. Everyone who eats white
bread should know about enriched flour and
use II
On the average, every person in the United
States eats barrel of flour year-but for
long time that flour if white and refined
was poor source Of vitamins. That was not
the fault OF millers who made the flour be-
cause they were only meeting the demands Of
the nations bread eaters.
Most people wanted white bread, instead
Of the coarse whole grain bread of our ances-
tors and they got it, White flour was made
at a sacrifice to the potential health of the
eaters because making it required most of
the vitamin-rich wheat germ TO be removed.
Now this mistake is being remedied The
pep NlldIillH oI IL DelilS put DdCk INTO Ditdu
and flour again in the form of thiamin chic
ride Nacin also is being added, and in some
cases riboflavin. Also the essential iron is
being put back.
There are other enriched foods besides bread
which are recommended by nutrition experts
Among these is the milk to which Vita
min ID has been added Because this vitamin
is obtained largely from fish-liver oils, not
SO easy TO get with war being waged in our
important oceans. or from sunlight which
many people miss for a large part Of the year
adding Vitamin - 10 milk makes il more easily
available TO more people.
Vitamin A has been added TO oleomar-
garine, which many people use a butter SUBJ
stitute.
There is just word of warning about
fortified foods in general They should be
planned scientifically, with just the right vita
Minis added otherwise eating these nutri-
ton boosters might turn out TO be just like
the shotgun doses" of vitamn pills.
Taking too much of any vitamin. except
perhaps Vitamin y, cannot hurt a person, but
IL is a waste of good medicine The body
doesn't store most vitamins for future usage.
Only Vtamin A. f and d are stored TO any
extent IN the body The rest are excreted IL
there is an oversupply and that is why every
needs TO get his share Of vitamins every
day.

of vitamins
1t also was pointed out that vitamins
might play part in the morality-not the
morale this time-of a nation. 1t is well
known that good diet rich in vitamins pro-
notes intellectual keenness as measured by
psychological tests both of human beings and
animals And, taking the opposite side Of
the question, dullness often can be traced to
lack Of proper food
Recent studies have shown that there is
a close lirk between intelligence and mo-
rality. Bright boys and girls don't usually
lie cheat. steal become delinquents So
the Doctor points out, if vitamins improve
intelligence they should also improve the mo-
rality of individuals and the race.
Latest news in the vitamin field is that
Or. Gustav j. Martin, Of the Warner Insti-
tute for Therapeutic Research, New York
City is perfecting a germ syrup which man
might swallow and thereby supply himself
with vitamins for life. but those experiments
are not yet completed. So don't rely on such
an easy way to get health-p plus essentials.
No doctor will deny that vitamins are
medicines of utmost Importance Those pa
tient workers who have devoted lives 20 their
study have not done so in vain-not by any
means.
Not natural foods alone, nor enriched foods
nor vtamin pills will solve the nations nutri-

as needs of each individual dictate should
accomplish wonders
1t clearly is up TO every patriotic citizen
Of the United States to do his or her share
toward understanding about foods and then
eating the best, balanced diet the pocketbook
will afford Then, If health still is not what
it should be checking up with the doctor is
important The dividends paid for such wise
health precautions will be personal as well as
national.

ricketts, have greatly decreased among
the well-to-do and middle class chill
dren. Babies" DR.. Williams points
out, ARE helpless and cannot reject
the mothers ministrations."
But when they get older and are
on their own as far as choosing and
eating food is concerned, many chill
dren from less food conscious homes
are likely to fall into the same bad
eating habits their parents have had,
and poor health-and even ricketts,
and scurvy may result.
Pellagra still is prevelant among
poor people in serious form. It is
aptly referred to as the hard times
disease.
Doctors can expect to find many
cases of "avitaminosis' serious lack
of vitamins especially in clinics for the
under privileged.
Eating balanced meals, alone, won't
rid the country of such plaques. Vita
min concentrates, or their chemical
substitutes, play an all important role
here.
Another argument which DR.. Will
liams put up for additional vitamins,
pills under the doctors prescription
If necessary, is that not all people re-
act alike to foods or medicines. PEG.
pie probably differ in their vitamin
requirements-for the simple reason
that this world is made up of indi-
-viduals and not population Of identi-
cal human beings.
Some have trouble with their
glands, others with their digestive APP
paratus and even the particular brand
Of little microbes in anyones intestines
may affect, the way he utilizes the
vitamins he eats
Speaking of what vitamins might
accomplish in the future, DR.. Roger
]. Williams, of the University of Texas
"a brother of DR.. Robert r. Williams)
said recently:
"One Of the most important appli-
cations of vitamin knowledge will be,
believe, 10 the study of cancer"
And a great deal of research is GO
