Extract

In a paper on “The Influence of Diet on Growth and Nutrition,” in the Journal of Physiology (vol. xxxiv., p. iii), Dr Chalmers Watson showed that in rats a diet of ox-flesh begun when the animals were weaned interfered with the development of pregnancy, none of the four flesh-fed animals having young, whereas the control animals from the same litter all became pregnant.
