Abstract

Pfaundler provides a guiding review of the major advances in the study of rickets. Most interesting are the advances in resolving the question of the antirachitis factor. Huldschinsky showed that illumination with ultraviolet rays cured rickets. Hess and Steenbock proved on rats with experimentally induced rickets that irradiation of animal food is sufficient to cure the latter if it contains fat or at least only the unsaponifiable part of it - cholesterol (fats, milk, flour, animal skin, etc.).
