Excerpt from The Journal of Home Economics, Vol. 12: January, 1920 Milk (48) is of only moderate value as an antiscorbutic and loses most of the value when pasteurized or boiled. Commercial condensed milk (49) is valueless and so, too is dried milk unless the drying is done very quickly, e. G. For a few seconds at 116 (hess and Unger) Numerous observations have been made of infantile scurvy developing from use of pasteurized milk and its check by the addition of orange juice. In this connection should be mentioned a very valuable summary, though without the work of the last two years - Morse's A Resume of the Literature Of Infantile Scurvy during the Past Five Years in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal An editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association (52) cites numerous recent dis tressing cases of infantile scurvy abroad, for instance, in Prague in 1917 - 18 when the much desired raw milk was often of doubtful rawness, oranges had disappeared from the markets since early in the war, and other fruits and even most green vegetables were dificult to obtain and usually very expensive.
