The Anti-Neuritic Bases of Vegetable Origin in relationship to Beri-Beri, with a Method of Isolation of Torulin the Anti-Neuritic Base of Yeast

In a recent paper from these laboratories an account was given of the chief investigations into the causation of Beri-beri up to 1910; this account was largely an abstract of the masterly monograph in which Schaumann2 described the work of other investigators, added much important work of his own, and brought evidence to suggest that other diseases might have a similar etiology to Beri-beri. Some of our earlier results were briefly mentioned in that paper, and the account of our further researches will be prefaced by a brief summary of some of the numerous papers on this subject which have appeared in the interval.
