Lucas and others, found that "bios" was divisible into two substances, "Bios I" and "Bios II,"* both stimulating yeast growth in some measure, although not necessarily indispensable to it. They disagree with Eddy and Williams as to the identity of the "bioses" with Vitamin B, having made experiments which seem to disprove any constant relation, although both are frequently present in the same food.

If Dr. Scott really means all that he should refrain from reading the newspapers. Mr. Mencken's translation may be and undoubtedly is as uninspired as all the rest of the prose and verse which has been done into American, but none...
