CitesEdward Mellanby
Description:'It was pointed out some time ago - I think by Professor Mellanby - that if a bitch's food is deficient in Vitamin "D"and in Vitamin "A" and "E," the puppies will suffer both before and after birth, becaues before birth the essential properties required for the building-up of strong healthy offspring will be wanting, whilst after birth the milk produced will not be equal to the demands placed upon it.'
