Abstract
IN a monograph of a hundred odd pages, the author presents a detailed study of five cases of severe nutritional disorder occurring in children. He regards them as typical examples of a distinct pathological condition, which he calls intestinal infantilism. He claims that this is a definite disease, distinct from, although sometimes associated with, other nutritional disorders, such as rickets, anæmia, marasmus, & c.
