Abstract
The People's League of Health (England) appointed a special committee in July 1935 to study the influence of the nutrition of expectant and nursing mothers on maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. The primary investigation was conducted from March 1938 to t he end of 1929 and was planned to reveal whether additions of vitamins and minerals to the food would be beneficial to the course of pregnancy and labor and to the newborn infant. 5022 pregnant women participated in the investigation. These women were patients at the antenatal clinic s of participating hospitals from the initiation of the study, exclusive of those women whose pregnancy was beyond the 24th week and those suffering from any physical disease or abnormality.
