No natural food contains enough

Mix, cream, butter and egg yolk

the amounts available in these foods
in the ordinary diet are not suffi-

How much vitamin D an individual
must obtain daily to insure good
health is not definitely known, but
authorities seem to agree that the
young infant requires 1000 to 5000
units of vitamin d daily to prevent
