In addition to his pioneering work in vitaminology, he investigated male and female hormones, gonadotropic hormones, antagonistic substances in the diet, deficiency diseases in cattle, and the importance of oncotine and oncostimuline in the treatment and prevention of cancer. Funk first published the present work in 1914 and deferred publication of this second edition because of World War I. By the time this greatly revised edition was published, much of the basic work on the role of vitamin B, in beriberi, vitamin C in scurvy, and vitamin D in rickets had been completed" (Heirs of Hippocrates).REFERENCE: Garrison-Morton 1051; Heirs of Hippocrates 2322
