520 $a I contrast the language of biochemists and physicians, and describe how language obstructed acceptance of the deficiency theory and vitamin hypothesis in Great Britain at the beginning of this century.
520 $a The dissertation is divided into three sections. The first examines tension between proof and belief. I discuss: (a) why biochemists came to believe in the existence of vitamins, even though they had no chemical proof from the test tube; (b) why physicians would not discount the germ theory of beri-beri; and (c) the loss of face of biochemists who found themselves unable either to modify their methods or to find alternative ways to prove the existence of vitamins.
520 $a The second analyzes the controversy over rickets to demonstrate that the resolution of the controversy entailed a complete redefinition of the term. I describe: (a) one definition popular before the controversy; (b) the development of the controversy between the Cambridge and Glasgow Schools emphasizing how the social milieu inhibited the process of redefinition; and (c) changing conceptions of pathogenesis, treatment, diagnosis, etc.
520 $a The third section explicitly discusses the function of language, its significance for the players, the disciplines and the controversy. Specifically, I describe: (a) Mellanby's issues about professional identity; (b) the ways in which choice of audience and professional influence affected the priority dispute between Funk and Hopkins over the "discovery" of vitamins; (c) the significance of the protracted discussion about the naming of vitamins; and (d) the dispute over negative causality and functional explanations.
520 $a These examples highlight the major issues of the dissertation, including the nature of discovery, of theory competition, and the disharmony inherent in disciplinary-based notions of what constituted an explanation.
