The antiscorbutie vitamin in the juice of citrus fruits is known as vitamin C. Children who receive no raw milk or other foodstuff con- taining vitamin C. show signs of stunted growth.

Milk is man's best food for gener. al purposes, but it is not the best source for vitamin C. Pasteurised milk is markedly deficient in vita- min C.
