Abstract
Summary 1. A comparison of the vitamin C in mothers and their premature newborn infants was made by means of the intradermal test. 2. The average intradermal test time for premature newborn infants was 4.9 minutes, and for their mothers, 9.1 minutes. This was similar to the fulterm newborn-maternal relationship. 3. The premature, like the full-term newborn, has a good vitamin C level at birth even where the mother is depleted. 4. 50 mg. of ascorbic acid daily begun in the first week insures continued good tissue concentrations of vitamin C.
