Two siblings with an unusual disease of the bones were recently observed: Case 1.—J. H., a white boy of Irish-American parentage, was admitted to the Bellevue Hospital in October 1933 and again in January 1936 because of knock knee. He was born Oct. 10, 1926. Labor was normal, and the weight at birth was 3,380 Gm. He was artificially fed after the second month of life and received cod liver oil and orange juice at an early age.
