"The Antibiotic Vitamin" (SN: 11/11/06, p. 312) reminds me that in preantibiotic days, tuberculosis patients were put on a fresh-air-and-sunshine regimen. Could the vitamin D so acquired account for the cures this system sometimes produced?

Does the vitamin D in milk help protect against infection?
GRAEME MCRAE, PALMDALE, CALIF.
