Since these two groups were not of homogeneous origin, the work was repeated and extended. A part of the results were embodied in a preliminary report by Bartoli, Cohen and Struck,2 confirming the earlier findings.A survey of the literature on the general subject of chemical changes with aging shows a badly confused state of knowledge.The fact that the concentration of acid soluble phosphorus of human serum decreases under...Bibliography1.
