Abstract
IN Great Britain during the War there was a great increase in the incidence of infective hepatitis, and, in the army particularly, of the so-called 'post-arsphenamine jaundice'. (This last is almost certainly a virus disease and not directly caused by arsenic2.) We have suggested in the past that war-time diet, relatively deficient in protein, may have been one reason for this increase2,4.
