The scientists knew that vitamin B 1 (anti-beriberi), which is found in yeast and fresh red meats, prevents nerve deterioration.

To know the complexities of the neural ways and cords and of the cerebral mass requires a chess player's intricate mentality. To dare to touch them with a knife requires unpassionate fingers...
