Abstract
1. If the result obtained by Harris and Ray's method are accepted breast-fed babies, sick as well as healthy, take about the same amount of vitamin C (like substance) from mother's milk. And the averaging amount is somewhere near 37 mgrms. per day.
2. It seems that in this district of this country the vitamin C (like substance) in human milk is of the smallest content in May throughout the year.
3. Breast-fed infants fed on human milk with a very abnormally small content of the vitamin C (like substance) do not show any symptom of scurvy.
4. Healthy babies are in a state of so-called “unsaturation”. It is of course a problem for future investigation whether the “unsaturation” be a real “unsaturation”.
