In contrast, no anemia or abnormality of the blood picture was ever seen in experimental human scurvy. The therapeutic effect of ascorbic acid on the anemia cannot be accepted as proof of its etiology, since associated deficiencies would also be made good with the return of normal appetite. It is well recognized that the clinical cases of scurvy usually have associated deficiencies. Often, there is iron deficiency in the milk-fed infants, and folic acid or vitamin B12 deficiency in the malnourished adult. ... 

Terroine (1954) has examined the effect of ascorbic acid on biotin deficiency in rats. She used lower levels than in her later experiments on thiamine and riboflavin deficiencies. She found that 0.1-0.5% ascorbic acid only slightly improved growth and appetite but considerably reduced the incidence of signs of biotin deficiency. Thus, in 92 days, all the deficient animals had developed alopecia, but only 30% of those receiving ascorbic acid. Similarly, 90% of the deficient group had spectacle eyes, but none...
