2. The anaemia of infantile scurvy is due to a deficiency in vitamin C and is cured by its administration in adequate quantities
3. The anaemia of infantile scurvy is usually orthochromic and normocytic, microcytosis if present is slight in degree and cannot be compared with that present in the iron deficiency anaemias
