Over a period of seven weeks iv Poole and; his- students Jed a group ''of New Mexico diet and saw two of them die of' internal hemorrhage throe others go into "While much significance in the way'of comparison with human reactions cannot be attached this experiment," Pople.said.to- day, "it nevertheless appears that the Now Mexico diet, lacking calcium and vitamin was responsible for failure of blood to' clot and for severe disor- ler. Vitamin helps clot blood, and two of the chicks fed the s'ew Mexico diet bled to 'death. Calcium deficiency may be char- ictorizod by nervous troubles, and hree.of tills of; chicks which had.milk only twice a week wore attacked with tremors and lad what we might call nervous jreakdowns when we opened their jages to take them out for photographs."
