1. The vitamin C in the dietary of an institution was largely destroyed by the methods of cooking and distribution.2. Some 50 mg. of ascorbic acid per head per day were required to be added to the diet to produce an optimum excretion level.3. Large doses of ascorbic acid were given to a group of adolescents in the institution over a period of several months. A record was kept of the incidences of infectious diseases in this treated group and in the remainder (controls). The following conclusions were reached:(a) The incidences of common cold and tonsillitis were the same in the two groups.(b) The average duration of illness due to the common cold was the same in the two groups.(c) The duration of illness of tonsillitis was longer in the control group than in the test group.(d) Cases of rheumatic fever and pneumonia occurred in the control group but no case of either disease occurred in the test group.

“…A similar deficient nutritional intake is known to occur in elderly patients (Exton-Smith et al, 1965). However, some patients had apparently excellent food intake and ascorbic acid utilization might be increased, as occurs in infection (Harde, Rothstein and Ratish, 1935) and hyperthyroidism (Lewis, 1938). A further explanation might be the malabsorption of vitamin C from the intestine, since patients with malignancy are known to have intestinal malabsorption (Dymock et al, 1967).…”

Summary.-In a study of the vitamin C status of 50 patients with malignant disease, 46 had leucocyte levels less than the lower limit of the normal range (18-50 ,ug/108 W.B.C.) and of these 30 had very low levels (< 12-5 jug/108 W.B.C.). Physical signs compatible with subclinical scurvy were frequently recorded and there was a significant decrease in capillary fragility in those with the lowest levels. Most patients had an inadequate dietary intake of ascorbic acid-containing foods and this was felt to be the major factor in producing the vitamin depletion.
