Alcohol and Avitaminosis*

We are doubly indebted to Dr. Ninian Bruce, first for giving us a delightful lecture at the Westminster Hospital Medical School and, secondly, for so kindly consenting to amplify what he then said for publication in our Journal.This amplification has necessitated a great amount of further work, especially in references to bther authorities, and this at a time when he was suffering from great personal anxiety about the health of his wife, who had a serious accident.I am glad to say that she is now recovered.These are the reasons why the Journal appears so belatedly, but I am sure we will all agree after reading his important paper that it was well worth waiting for.-EDlTOR.]
