Dear Art:
I am writing to ask if it would be possible for you to use the stored information about literature to find references for me about large doses of ascorbic acid in preventing or ameliorating the common cold. I have seen references to two or three investigations around 1940, in which it was reported by one group that 200 mg per day did not seem to have a significant effect, but other groups reported that a gram or more a day was of value in preventing or ameliorating colds.
I have been thinking that it might be worth while to arrange a good-sized double-blind test along this line, using University students.
We are making steady progress in our studies of the metabolism of various vitamins by different people.
Cordially,
Linus
