Note 10 — Chapter II · PATHOGENESIS AND ETIOLOGY

Moore raises the interesting question as to whether a diseased condition of the cow may decrease the vitamines of the milk—whether a certain outbreak of scurvy among guinea-pigs might have been due to their having been fed on the milk of a cow suffering from experimental streptococcus mastitis. If such proves to be the case, it would have an important bearing on the question of scurvy and pseudo-scorbutic conditions in nursing infants.
