Abstract
I AM much obliged to Sir William Bayliss for pointing out my inexcusable mistake of writing “B” for “A” vitamin. One of the advantages of solving the rickets question may be that we shall be able to use a more definitive and memorable nomenclature. “Anti-rachitic” factor is at present plainly inadmissible; it would be pleasant to call it “Hopkins' stuff,” were it not obvious that the identity of the substances which promote growth and have a preventive influence on rickets is still an open question.
