\title{The Effect of Vitamin C on Tooth Growth in Guinea Pigs}
\description{
  The response is the length of odontoblasts (cells responsible for
  tooth growth) in 60 guinea pigs.  Each animal received one of three
  dose levels of vitamin C (0.5, 1, and 2 mg/day) by one of two delivery
  methods, (orange juice or ascorbic acid (a form of vitamin C and coded
  as \code{VC}).
