Abstract
(i) PROF. E. V. McCOLLUM sets forth in volume form the results of, and conclusions to be drawn from, his well-known researches on food accessory bodies, the discovery of which was initiated by Dr. Gowland Hopkins. These bodies, called “vitamines” by Funk, are now realised to be of the greatest importance to growth, health, and resistance to disease, the lack of them making the body susceptible to the rank growth of microbes.
