Beverly HUli. Calif, CHILDREN IN THEIR TEENS Probably because the practlo of giving infant a daily ration of vitamin D Is now almost uni- versal, there Is a prevalent be lief that cal cium deficien cy occur mainly in in fants. The pur pose of giving vitamin o is of course to pr o m o t e as similation and utilization of calcium. Probably be- nutritlonal de- Dr. Brady cause rickets, a flciency disease due to lack of sufficient calcium (and phos phorus) and vitamin D, is usual ly most manifest between the sixth and 18th months, a good many physicians still think it is all right for a child past a year or VA years of age to wor ry along without the daily ration of vitamin D, Fortunately a considerable number of children of pre-school and school age do get along very well without taking vitamin D at all if they happen to enjoy a reasonable amount of expos ure of skin to sunshine or sky- shine. The ultra-violet In sun light activates ergosterol in the skin, converting it into vitamin D. So the more clothing and the more time' spent indoors the greater the Individual's require ment for vitamin D. According to Spies and Butt (Diseases of Metabolism, Dun can, '42) "about 75 per cent of rickets escapes diagnosis" and this sad state of affairs Is due largely to tne faulty conception of rickets which some physicians have their diagnostic thresh old Is reached only by the square-headed, pot-bellied baby with delayed teething and walk ing and I, Brady, might add that these old time practitioners do far too much poll-parrot squawking about "the vitamin fad" to cover their diagnostic in competency. - Deficient assimilation and uti lization of phosphorus as well as calcium and vitamin D accounts for rickets. As phosphorus oc curs in most foods in combina tion with calcium, it is seldom necessary to be concerned about the phosphorus intake provided there is adequate calcium sup ply, assimilation and utilization. Rickets Is not merely a di sease, weakness, softness of bones, spine and teeth; it is di sease also of the ligaments, muscles, glands, teeth, digestive organs. In a great many Instances of pronated feet or weak ankles and potential flatfoot in grow ing children undiagnosed rickets h responsible. In many cases of spinal curvature, round shoul ders, fatigue posture in children in their 'teens undiagnosed rick ets is responsible. Few physicians diagnose rick ets in the mild degree it usually occurs-in growing children and youths. But never mind that. I say supplement the diet of every growing child with a suitaoie daily ration of calcium, phos phorus and vitamin u ana pre vent any and all of these mani festations of rickets. From what I have observed in the past 14 vears. I believe this practice in- mrp for these crowing children exceptionally good teeth, notab ly free from caries.
