Abstract
A very welcome addition to the literature of vitamins has been provided by Prof. Sherman and Mr. S. L. Smith in the volume under notice. The plan of the book is very simple; an historical introduction vis followed by three chapters devoted to the three generally recognised vitamins and a final chapter is added on the relation of these important principles to the problem of food supply. A bibliography is also given, which comprises about a thousand entries and includes the literature so far as the end of 1921.
