PAULING, LINUS. 1901-1994.
Autograph Manuscript Signed ("Linus Pauling"), 15 pp, 4to, [1976], entitled "Why You Need Vitamin C to Fight Your Cold."
Lengthy article by one of the most important chemists of the 20th century and one of the founders in the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. In his later years he tireless promoted vitamin therapies, especially using vitamin C. The present article is from that period and appeared in The Good Drugs Do to Better Your Health supplement of Medical Tribune, September 15, 1976. In part, from the opening of the article: "Vitamin C is one of the most important of our foods. A person who does not get any vitamin C develops scurvy. His body falls apart, and he dies. The reason that his body falls apart is that vitamin C is required for the synthesis of connective tissue, the collagen fibers that hold the bones, skin, and other parts of the body together. Vitamin C is also involved in many other physiological reactions, including the various mechanisms that protect us against disease."
