Abstract
WITH reference to the recent publication, by Penney and Zilva1, on "The Chemical Behaviour of Dehydroascorbic Acid in vitro and in vivo", I wish to direct attention to my paper "On the Methylene Blue Reducing System of Palestine Orange Peels"2, the conclusions of which, arrived at by a different method, are supported by the results of the above authors.
