number of observations available in the series of babies 

 fed upon boiled cows' milk. 



(3) By estimating the percentage deficit of the average weight 

 of babies fed upon boiled cows' milk as compared with 

 the weights of the breast-fed babies. The weights of 

 the breast-fed babies being taken as 100. 



The results of the first method are given in Table III and are plotted 

 on Diagram 9, p. 198. Both series show an extreme irregularity in the 

 rate at which the weight increases, but after the first two estimations 

 it would be difficult to point out any marked difference between the 

 values of the two series. 



TABLE III 



Showing percentage rate of increase for each period of eight days, of the babies 

 of both series, up to the age of eight months. 



After this age the increase becomes very variable.
