Abstract
A NUTRITIONAL disease of chicks characterised by subcutaneous, intramuscular and abdominal hæmorrhages, prolonged blood-clotting time and erosions of the gizzard lining has been described in detail by Hoist and Halbrook1 of this laboratory. They were able to cure the disease by the use of fresh cabbage. The gizzard erosions and bleeding tendencies have been noted by McFarlane, Graham and Hall2. Dam and Schönheyder3 have also produced the hæmorrhagic symptoms in chicks, and have shown that the disease is not caused by lack of any of the known vitamins. The same finding has been obtained by Halbrook4.
