Abstract
IN a previous communication1 it was shown that strong static magnetic fields retard, the growth of young mice. The maximum weight difference, relative to identically housed controls, is reached after 10–12 days of residence in a homogeneous field of 4,200 œ strength. In the first such experiments, conducted in 1948 in the Institute for Experimental Physics of the University of Budapest, as well as in the twelve subsequent experiments conducted on several hundred mice in the laboratory of the Biomagnetic Research Foundation in Evanston, Illinois, a sharp drop in the weight of the mice was observed on the second day of residence in the field, followed by a steep increase up to the base line.
