Abstract
ADVANCES in our knowledge of the chemistry of the vitamins have recently been so rapid that a review of the position at any moment may require correction or amplification almost as soon as it is published. A useful summary of our knowledge of the nature and function of vitamins was provided in April and May of 1932 by Prof. J. C. Drummond in his Cantor lectures.1 Some of the points made by the author may be briefly referred to here, and opportunity taken at the same time to review work which has been published since the delivery of the lectures.
