There are Vitamin C tablets that don’t upset the stomach. 500 mg VITA-SCORBOL (French) can be taken in any quantity. They taste like citrus*Editors note: Originally was written "circus". lemonade if you care to suck them or chew them up. No stomach recoil.

I have found some crew members are having stomach trouble.

Don’t lay off Vitamin C. This is the only vitamin the body doesn’t make so far as is known. It prevents scurvy.

Do not take vitamins in transparent gelatine capsules. The capsule melts in the upper stomach can give you what feels like a stomach ulcer – too full, burning, pain after eating.

If you feel you want something to drink or eat and you don’t know what it is – it’s Vitamin C. Take some and the odd craving goes away.

This is because the vitamin powder is dumped by the capsule when it melts into the upper area instead of the lower intestine as it should be.

C can be taken up to thousands of mgs. It helps cure colds and a long list of things including fever, recovering from illness and fatigue.

A coated tablet is the answer. It’s called "enteric (for intestine) coated".

When vitamins don’t work, there’s an aberration in the way of it. Same is true of any medicine or hormone.

There are "'enteric gelatine capsules"' made which dissolve an hour after being taken. You put vitamin powder in them.

Mind monitors structure. That couldn’t be discovered until someone knew how to handle the mind! Namely us.

To handle the "ulcer feeling" – pain or too full or burn­ing – one takes 2 aluminum hydroxide tablets (one trade name is Maalox No. 2) (chewing them up) and a few swallows or a glass of milk every couple hours and in a day or two all should be back to normal – unless or course you continue to take harsh, fast dissolving pills!
