Excerpt from Rickets: The Relative Importance of Environment and Diet as Factors of Causation; An Investigation in London

All the case papers had notes of total income, housekeeping money, the occupation of the wage-earners, rent and weekly charges for the home, the number of rooms occupied, type, and locality.

At that time I had no idea of publishing the notes, though three papers had already appeared in the Guy's Hospital Gazette dealing with the value of whole milk feeding in a poor district where casual labour is so common.

It was pointed Out that the records would be of value in assessing the relative importance of environment and diet as causative factors in the production of rickets or scurvy, and when the Medical Research Committee started their programme of investigations I was asked to continue this work and to.' collect further data on the subject of rickets. A preliminary report was sent in dealing with 330 cases collected prior to March 1915, and details of diet and observations on home conditions were recorded.
