The possible relation between deficiency of vitamin B and at least some forms of nerve deafness, pointed out by Selfridge,1 and an attempt to alleviate a condition heretofore largely intractable entail certain questions which must be answered if therapeusis is to have some semblance of rationality. What is the chemical and biologic nature of this complex catalyst? Can a symptomatic picture be formulated so that the need for it can be diagnosed clinically ? Are there any laboratory procedures to aid investigators? What are the meanings of the new names and standards
