Abstract
ABOUT a year ago vitamin C seemed to be the most elusive of vitamins, apparently defying all attempts at isolation and identification. To-day this substance can be bought at a relatively low price, neatly sealed in tubes, in the form of beautiful white crystals. It is even used as a reagent for reducing gold and silver in microscopical technique. Also its chemical constitution is cleared up to a great extent.
