Abstract
Calcium and phosphorus retentions in infants receiving 3 different types of cow's milk modifications have been determined. In 2 cases the infants, who were quite normal, received the particular modifications, namely boiled cow's milk, and dried milk† for several consecutive months during the first year, thus making possible a number of metabolism studies on the same infant. With the 3rd mixture, namely S. M. A.,†† the food was given from one to 2 weeks before the metabolic period, 2 studies being made with one infant; and one with a 2nd infant. The calcium and phosphorus retentions in one rachitic child have been included for comparison. Cod liver oil and orange juice were given daily in all but one case.
