THE SPECIAL ASSOCIATION OF RICKETS WITH AN ARTIFICIAL DIET IS STRONGLY SUPPORTED BY RESULTS OF OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENT ON THE LOWER ANIMALS—GUfiRIN'S EXPERI- MENTS The artificial production of rickets by Guerin, who substituted meat for the mother's milk, although impugned by the later experiments of Tripier, has been remarkably confirmed by the experience at the Zoological Gardens in London. The lion whelps weaned early and put upon a diet of raw flesh only, invariably became rickety in such extreme degree that it has been found impossible to rear them. MR. BLAND SUTTON'S OBSERVATIONS AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS Mr. Bland Sutton, the hon. pathologist, informs me that the young monkeys, deprived of their mother's ^milk' and fed entirely upon vegetable food, became rickety. The most remarkable case observed N
