David's little forming body had no reservoir
supply to drawn on
With the application of the three-to-one
calcium phosphorus technique-and attending
methods too involved TO outline here-there is
no longer any need David's physicians say,
for any baby to come into the world def
cient in essential minerals. The mother her
self can be built up so that the mutual
mother-baby reservoir of minerals will be
adequate.
Calcium and phosphorus are extremely i'm
portant to us. The bones our store
houses for these Calcium iron and phos-
phorus are needed in the blood. The calcium.
in solution, "bathes" our nervous system;
without it, we go nuts"
The drunkard with the delirium tremens.
for instance, is a sufferer from calcium def
cheney. Nature seems more anxious, in
emergency to keep our nerves calm than to
keep our bones strong. Nerves are an ee-
ment in our personality.
So when minerals get short in our blood
system, Nature draws on the supply in the
bone The bones suffer from these with
drawals. The results, depending on which
chemical is withdrawn, are the numerous dis
eases that afict bone, and the second any

of optimal levels cannot be over-stressed.
You have what is called "the threshold
of nervous irritability' This is the point at
which your nerves react too readily to noise
irritation Some persons are more ner-
vous' than others. Let your calcium get low,
depriving your nerves of its soothing influ-
ence, and you get cranky
At optimal level, you can smile your trou-
bles away! For want of the right amount of
calcium and phosphorus in your blood and
bones, you can be very unhappy!
No other food in the world supplies cal
cium and phosphorus so perfectly as does
milk. Even buttermk has calcium in it.
To avoid troubles like David's. and other
troubles caused by chemical shortages. you
should have 10 to 16 grains of calcium per
day. quart of milk will supply that
Calcium deficiency is really a national
problem if clinical statistics are Indicative
In a study of thousands of cases il was
found 68 per cent had calcium deficiency
and a lot of them cranky" Thirty
five per cent had phosphorus deficiency.
And in cases of patients with fractured
limbs S5 per cent had calcium deficiency
And So per cent of an even hundred women
who gave birth to babies were calcium-defi-
cient at the time of the births; 80 per cent
were phosphorus-deficient.
Diet can do much Besides milk. excellent
for low calcium are asparagus dry beans
cauliflower, cheese, cream, eggs, turnips and
molasses and good" are beets. bran. cab
bage celery. chocolate, dates figs, lemons.
lettuce, oatmeal, oranges parsnips. pine
apple prunes. raspberries. shell fish. spinach.
walnuts
For low phosphorus. excellent are barley
beans, bran, cheese. chocolate cocoa. eggs
lentils, rye. corn meal. split peas, liver. MILK.
oatmeal, peanuts, peas walnuts whole rye
whole wheat
Calcium is used mostly, as we've SEEN for
formation of bone and control of nervous
tissues. Phosphorus enters into cell chem
istry of many tissues,
vitamins are now getting pretty well
established in the public mind.
You'll probably be hearing much from now
on about mineral balance and gland balance.
