Excerpt from The Physiology of the New-Born Infant: Character and Amount of the KatabolismThe investigation on new-born infants reported herewith is a natural outcome Of the attempt of this laboratory during the last four years to secure adequate information regarding the normal metabolism of infants preparatory to a contemplated study of pathological conditions, for until normal data are available an intelligent interpretation Of the data from pathological cases is impossible.The observations have been made by Miss Alice Johnson, whose skillful technique and experience in studies of infant metabolism have contributed greatly to the research. To the trustees and especially to the superintendent of the Massachusetts General Hospital we wish to express our thanks for the facilities offered to us in the prosecution of this study. Through the kindness of the trustees and staff of the Boston lying-in Hospital, a large number of new-born infants were made available for this research. The majority Of the infants used in these Observations came from this institution. Much credit is also due the nurses of the hospital for their active interest and cooperation, which materially assisted in the successful outcome of the research.Nutrition laboratory OF the carnegie institution OF washington, Boston, Massachusetts, July 31, 1915.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
