 The results of this experiment which was conducted for a period of approximately three months, are given briefly as follows:—

Group A (fluid milk) had gained thirty-eight and one-quarter pounds. Group B (diluted condensed) had gained thirty-eight and five-eighths pounds, the gains in weight for the two groups being almost identical. The X-ray pictures showed improved bone conditions in both groups. There was a greater increase in the number of red corpuscles in the blood in the Eagle Brand group than in the fluid milk group. The physical examinations showed improvement for both groups.

The above result leads to the conclusion that for the 200 calories of milk given to each case in addition to the regular daily diet, the improvement for the group fed on condensed milk was equal to that of the group fed on bottled milk pasteurized.
