VITAMINS FAIL
IN ARMY TESTS

CHICAGO, Nov 23.- Up -Physi-
clans who conducted 30 day
v;tanin feeding experiment with
200 persons, at the Arny's request
reported today the administration
of vitamin supplements to a group
of apparently normal persons, con-
Stunning the usua! American diet,
feet"
The study, made at Duke Uni
versity school of medicine at the
request Of the Quartermaster Gen
erals office, U. S. Army, was pub
llshed in the journal of the Aneri-
can Medical Association.
The authors, DR.. Julian M. Ruff
fin and DR.. David Cayer of Dur
ham, N. c., said:
AT the present time the use of
vitamins is widespread throughout
the country, not only in the treat
ment of disease, but also by ap-
parently normal persons.
while no one would question
the employment of vitamin thera-
Ply in frank deficiency diseases or
even in suspected deficiency states,
still one wonders if the indiscrimi-
nate use Of vitamins, sold over
the counter to people who have no
obvious disease, is justified.
1T has been implied that, even
when no denOnStrable deficiency
exists, ones sense of we'll being
and ability to perform work can
be improved greatly by the addi-
tion of vitamins to the diet.
Gas pointed out by the council
en- food and nutrition and on in
dlstrial health (of the American
Medical Association) there is at
present no conclusive evidence to
substantiate this point of view"
