E. Osteomalacia 



Perhaps this is the most suitable place in which to refer to 

 the disease known as osteomalacia. The theory which connects 

 this condition with hyperfunction of the ovaries has found 

 most adherents. The argument in favour of this view is 

 largely based upon the fact that the condition is benefited 

 both by removal of the ovaries and by artificially induced 

 labour.
