Aid for Blood Diseases
Seen in Vitamin STUDY Here

Isolation of a B-complex vita
min which may provide a better
understanding of blood diseases,
has been reported by two chem
lists at the National Institute of
Arthritis and Metabolic Diseases
Drs. John C. Keresztesy and
Milton Silverman said experiments
indicate the vitamin, known as the
Icitrovorum factor, may yield new
knowledge of complicated disor-
ders OF the blood leading to leu
kemla, anemia and malnutrition
A report of the findings Is made
in the American Chemical Society
journal.
The vitamin. discovered several
years ago, is closely related to the
Ivitamin folio acid, which has been
used successfully in the treatment
of anemia and malnutrition.
Laboratory tests have shown the
cltrovorum factor is more active
than either folio acid or the SYM
pathetic derivatives of folio acio
formerly thought to be the citro-
vorum factor, the report said.
Drs. Keresztesy and Silvermar
obtained the vitamin as pure
crystalline salt from horse liver.
