RICKETS
Rickets is also called rachitis and known by some as Barlow’s dis-ease. It is listed as a dis-ease of nutrition, although the most important anatomical changes which take place are those affecting the bones. This dis-ease is found among people of all classes. There is no race that is immune, yet some nationalities seem to suffer more frequently and severely than others. Negroes and Italians seem to be especially susceptible when placed in northern climates and congested quarters in northern cities. In general practice rickets is considered a rather uncommon incoördination, although in congested cities it will be found quite prevalent.
