Abstract
THE problem had its origin in observations made in 1918, when an experimental study of rickets was in progress. Some of the animals developed severe inco-ordination of movement, independently of rickets, and the condition clearly involved a different etiological factor. The latter differentiation of the anti-rachitic vitamin from vitamin A made it possible to show that the inco-ordination of movement in young animals was due to vitamin A deficiency.
