چکیده
T. K. RAMAN, m.d., d.t.m. (Bengal). (From the Government Headquarters Hospital, Guntur.) The problem of beriberi has been investigated by different authors in different countries. Our apology for publishing our results is that this district is one of the most affected districts in the Madras Presidency and that we had ample opportunity of investigating more than a hundred cases during the year 1929-30. We place before the readers the main conclusions in brief, so that they will be able to follow our line of argument.
