J. Stevenson, R. A. M. C. , carried out an experi- ment on the scorbutic inmates of a Russian civilian prison to test the curative value of different food-stuffs. The prisoners were divided into six groups of six patients, each group receiving the same scurvy-producing diet, but a different curative food-stuff. The following were given daily to Group (i) 4 oz. Fresh lemon-juice.
(2) 8 oz. Germinated peas, cooked half an hour.
(3) 8 oz. Germinated beans, ,, (4) 10 oz. Fresh underdone meat.
(5) 8
... oz. Tinned fruits.
(6) 2 pints of lactic acid milk prepared by inocu- lating with lactic acid bacteria and leaving for thirty-six hours till nearly solid.
All groups showed marked improvement, but it was most rapid with the lemon-juice, sour milk and germinated peas. The peas were palatable, but the beans were disliked and caused indigestion.
There was much scurvy amongst the Serbian troops; Wiltshire reported 3000 cases. The available peas and lentils were not suitable for germination as they had been decorticated.
