Cuart 8. This chart illustrates the Fated behavior of guinea pigs 
fed a ration of rolled oats and whole milk ad libitum. The animals gener- 
ally develop the lesions of seurvy from the 3rd to the 4th week, but a 
few live longer than this before they show the symptoms. Occasionally 
an exceptional individual will be found that thrives on this ration. The 
curve of such an animal was given in our first paper on scurvy (1). 
_Cuart 9. This illustrates the behavior of guinea pigs fed a ration of 
ground barley and whole milk ad libitum. The animals thrive better 
on this ration than they do on a ration of whole ground oats and milk 
(see Chart 12). All the animals on this ration, except No. 3, showed signs 
of scurvy about the 4th week. Animal 8 did not show lesions of scurvy 
at any time and is in excellent condition at this writing. It should be 
borne in mind that occasionally a guinea pig will thrive on an oat and 
milk diet.
