Trench fover, brought lnto pront- incnce by the war, is a illseuse of this type. 111 1917, it was realized that trench fever was one of the important causes of loss of mun power lu the fighting forces, but joint efforts of tho British and American Modical forces brought tho. menace under control lu six months.

Fat-soluble vitamin .is a third important type, proved to have an important relation to the disease rickets. This type is present in butter fat, and other fats of ant.

Sir David said: "if there is a der. flciency of these vitamins in the dict of a young animal rickets will develop. ‘ '

"The question of prevention is one of economics. The fatsoluble vitamins are chiefly found in food- stuffs such as butter. eggs, beef and mutton fut, and fish oils, all oxpcnslvc articles of diet which the poorcr cbisscs can seldom af- ford."

Margarine, made from vegetable oils, is useless in this respect," he ivarned. "The quest-ion of pro< ventlon is one for the sociologist. Sciuicc can only discover the causes and point the means. lt is for governments and local auth- orities to carry out preventive incusurcs in practice, nnd it is to bc fcarcd that science ls oftcii far ahead of the coniniiitiity in its share of tho work."

Most recent work indicates that sunlight lfl also n factor wlllch 1111,, to be reckoned with in the treat- nii-nt of rickets, but the conclusion is that it acts as ii stimulant, en» ubling the animal to make full and

A similar story was told of typhus fovcr, which caused havoc in tho Balkans, as may be realized from tho fact that 120.000 Sarblans iliod of this tliscaso during the wur. 'l‘liis was traced in tho some way to the activities. of the body louse.

“In tho next war it will be ul-

' most as necessary to prepnro means

Showing how four different oc- cessory food factors have been des- cribed so far, Sir David told of the

economic use of its store of fat- sulublc vitamins. An increase of the prevalence of rickets in winter- time iii cortuln confers was attri- buted i0 tho ilccreasetl amount of sunliglit( but the addition of cod- llvcr oil to the iliot, counteracted this factor, and also reduced the frciluoiitry of the Jlllllillll. ltickets niuy be‘ regarded as a (llfixlllile of uunlosn houses combinctl with s. diet tlof-ltiiont in the zlnti-racliltic vitani-lu, and the means of pre- vontions are obvious. if not always oiisy to irarry out", the speaker conclndoil.
