Perfection of a machine which adds Vitamin D to m>lk was announced >by the University of Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation last week. The device consists of a large upright cylinder within which glares a12,000-watt battery of carbon arc lamps. The arcs emit ultraviolet light. The light synthesizes Vitamin D in milk exposed to its irradiation as Wisconsin's Professor Harry Steenbock ; has demonstrated. In operation 3,000 quarts of milk flow in a thin sheet down the inner walls of the cylinder, acquiring Vitamin D in about the same strength as occurs naturally in good...
...prove their theory on rats at the University of Toronto, their alma mater. Last week they were in Manhattan to tell missionaries, doctors and dentists that they have been able to produce or prevent tooth decay at will in practically any rat, by regulating the amount of phosphorus and Vitamin D in the diet. Now they are confirming their work on 450 Ontario children. The children get their phosphorus, vitamin and calcium, which they also require, in milk, fresh vegetables, fish oils, irradiated foods...
Government agents conferred a doctorate upon the Salmon last week. Once upon a time the only fish doctor was Dr. Cod Fish whose liver oil was mysteriously, disgustfully good for puny children. Then someone discovered that there was a Vitamin D which made bones straight & sturdy, prevented the bone-softening disease called rickets. Someone else discovered that cod liver oil was good for children because it contained quantities of Vitamin D. That gave joy to Parke, Davis & Co. of Detroit, Scott & Bowne of Bloomfield, N. J., E. L. Patch Co., of Boston, E. R. Squibb & Sons of Manhattan, Mead Johnson...
Competition among the cod liver oil sellers was not nearly so bad before what happened last year when Dr. Halibut Fish was certified as an accumulator of concentrated Vitamin A in his liver. His Vitamin D content was less significant. Abbott Laboratories of Chicago and Parke, Davis fortified A-rich halibut liver oil with viosterol (a concentrated Vitamin D), called the product haliver (portmanteau for halibut liver) oil with viosterol, and exploited the trade name Haliver so vigorously, that Mead Johnson last month took six consecutive pages of advertising in one journal to remind doctors, in large sultry yellow, type...
...Martha Eliot of the U. S. Children's Bureau, Dr. Elmer Martin Nelson of the Department of Agriculture and Dr. Chester Deebell Tolle of the Bureau of Fisheries. Salmon oil (probably to be called Saliver, unless the connotation of saliva forbids) contains, they said, twice the Vitamin D potency of cod liver oil. Happy news to the salmon industry is that 1,000,000 gal. of the oil a year can be salvaged from canning wastes...
