Cuarr 2. This record gives further evidence of the beneficial effects | 
resulting from the ingestion of 20 per cent of lactose with an oat and milk 
diet (compare with Chart 8). All the animals except No. 2 were in excel- 
lent condition throughout the experiment. Animal 2 was in fine condition 
until the 12th week. At this time the animal began to lose weight and 
became thin and inactive, but it did not show any lesions of scurvy either 
when alive or on postmortem examination.

Cuart 3. These curves show that 10 per cent of lactose was not as 
efficient in protecting the animals from scurvy as was 20 per cent. Post- 
mortem examination of Animals 1, 2, 3, and 4 showed lesions of scurvy. 
Animal 5 grew fairly well throughout the course of the experiment and 
never showed any signs of having scurvy. It was killed at the end of the 
20th week and appeared to be normal in all respects. .
