Cuart 10. Growth curves of animals fed a ration of corn and milk. 
The animals did not lose weight as rapidly and they lived longer than 
did animals receiving barley and milk (see Chart 9). The symptoms of 
scurvy were not evident in these animals until the 5th and 6th weeks. 
Animal 5 did not show lesions until the 8th week. Animals 1 and 5 are 
alive at the present writing No. 1 shows symptoms of mild scurvy, while 
No. 5 shows more pronounced symptoms. 
CuarT 11. The animals in this gioup received a ration of whole wheat 
and milk. These animals grew about as well as did the animals that re- 
ceived corn and milk (see Chart 10). However, the animals in this lot 
developed lesions of scurvy during the 8rd and 4th weeks, while those on 
corn developed them the 5th to 6th weeks. Animal 2 never showed any 
evidence of having scurvy and it remained in excellent condition until the 
12th week. Since then it has been losing weight, but it does not show any 
signs of having scurvy at the present time. Animal 4 developed scurvy 
the 4th week, and from the 4th to the 8th week it was in a miserable con- 
dition. After the 8th week it slowly improved, but its knee joints are still 
swollen and it walks with difficulty and is very sensitive.
