Abstract
The methods of Sherman and Hojer for the assay of vitamin C are compared. The first is based on autopsy findings as to condition of bones and the presence of hemorrhages, the latter on the microscopic appearance of the teeth. Eddy substantiates Hojer''s claims and finds the method more sensitive than Sherman''s. The minimum protective dose by Hojer''s method is approximately twice that by Sherman''s.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
