Dietaries of Infants in Relation to Rickets. 221 



This preparation contained about 3.3 per cent, protein; 2.5 per 

 cent, fat; and 6.6 per cent, carbohydrate. Its ash was about 0.44 

 per cent., of which the calcium and phosphorus stood about mid- 

 way between that of human milk and cow's milk; its sodium 

 content was even higher than that of the latter. Its fat-soluble 

 vitamine content was high, its water-soluble vitamine low. 

 Judged from the clinical standpoint, this must be regarded as 

 a diet markedly productive of rickets.
