Vitamin D
At the annual meeting, last fortnight, of the American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia--founded by Benjamin Franklin--Dr. Alfred Fabian Hess of Manhattan, famed vitamin-searcher, revealed results of his latest researches in the study of Vitamin D, which everyone knows is the one whose presence in the diet prevents rickets. Searcher Hess had found Vitamin D in fish-eggs, chicken-eggs, snake-eggs, as material for the early development of the species.
