In attempting to estimate further the effectiveness of Celoglass by experimentation on rats, we utilized the general plan reported by Tisdall and Brown.¹

Every two weeks we secured twenty-five albino rats weighing between 30 and 40 Gm. These were placed at once on McCollum's rachitogenic diet 3143, and then separated into two groups.

At the end of six weeks both groups of rats were killed by decapitation, and the blood collected and defibrinated. The inorganic phosphate was estimated at once by the method of Fiske and Subbarrow,² and roentgenograms were taken. Following this, the percentage of ash in the bones was determined by the method of Bethke, Steenbock and Nelson,³ as outlined . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
