In the two preceding communications we have discussed the calcium balances and weight increase of natives, both adult and growing, on certain institution diets, with and without additions.
Various considerations pointed to a relative or absolute deficiency of calcium in the above diets. The experimental additions made, therefore, were (1) a mineral mixture reproducing closely the ash of cows' milk; (2) cod-liver oil; (3) cod-liver oil plus the mineral mixture; (4) olive oil plus KI; (5) milk.
