Abstract
Beryllium rickets, the invariable result of feeding the normal stock diet with 0.5% of beryllium carbonate, was prevented in 8 young rats on the beryllium regime, by daily subcut. injection of 1 ml. 25% Na glycerophosphate, giving further evidence that beryllium rickets is mainly, perhaps entirely, due to defect of absorption of phosphate from the gut. If animals with beryllium rickets are put on a normal diet without beryllium, they recover very rapidly, the first changes observed being an increase in the phosphoric ester content of the erythrocytes and of the liver.
