Department of Paediatrics, University of Toronto, and Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto

A comparison has been made of the utilization by humans of the calcium of skim milk powder and of bone meal.

Six subjects received a low calcium diet for four 5-day periods. Supplements of skim milk powder or bone meal supplying the same amounts of additional calcium were given during alternate collection periods.

The availability of the calcium in bone meal appeared to be in the same range as that of milk.

A study of the retention by young rats of calcium from whole cooked ground bone is also reported.

The retention of calcium from this source was approximately 90% of the retention from whole dried milk.

Manuscript received 17 November 1948.
