Remedying Vitamin
Deficiency
By LOGAN CLKNDENING. M. D.
• The vitamins are <ubsf.ar.ce5 in
our food which do not add to the
energy value <n the food hut which
serve to keep the body healthy in
various more or less subtle ways.
They seem to exert a sort of chetn

ical action on tissues, like drugs
rather than foods. Discovered
only within the la-t three decades,
they have fascinated experimental
scientists.
All animals require vitamins
and many of the lower animals
are very su iceptible to the devel
opment >f these deficiency dis
eases. The experimental scientist
,can arrange a diet in which a
f single element is excluded and
' produce quite startling re. uits—
in rats and pigeons. Hut he finds
some difficulty in producing these
conditions in man. One reason is
that it is almost impossible to
arrange a palatable diet for man
in which vitamin elements are
left out. Nature has seen to it
for our own protection that in an
edible die* she puts in the \ita
mins.
I showed in a rc-c\ nt article
that the average American fa.niiy
spending $4.00 per week, ; • r h u<!,
would all receive adequate v»*
mins. The fear of not receh ing
enough vitamins has been so
drubbed into our heads t'-.t it is
a comfort to emphasize that.
"Bachelor Scurvy"
"How then does a person get a
vitamin deficiency?" This is a nat
ural question. One part of the
answer is that he doesn't very
often. But in the ordinary course
of life, conditions occasionally
arise that will produce the vita
min deficiencies.
One of these has been aptly
called "bachelor scurvy." Shat
tuck anil Minot, of Boston, have
very diligently called attention to
this. The usual pati. '.t is a r.ian
over fifty years of agv who liws
alone and whose subsi;- "'ce de
pends upon his own culii:...y in
clinations. I saw one case in v.ali
fornia, the land of oranges. Some
patients who adhere too religious
ly to an ulcer diet may develop it.
Mi not cites a patient who had a
tendency to diarrhoea and sub
sisted on a milk and cracker diet
for over a year. He developed
"bachelor scurvy."
Another cause of deficiency
disease is religious fervor. Those !
1 who yet a message indicating that
1 a large number of foods should be
i prohibited are victims. Diet fad
dists are also candidates for vita
j :uin deficiency.
Alcoholics Get It
Still another group are the al
coholics. The usual form is Vita
' min B deficiency causing neuritis.
It used l<» be called alcoholic neu
j ritis—a form of paralysis of the

liquor (1 pint to 1 quart daily) !
