The ultimate decline on the casein diet during period 2 could not be checked by increasing the content of casein during period 3. This shows that the nutritive failure of the animals was not attributable to the protein per se. Speedy recuperation and maintenance attended the substitution of protein- free milk for the inorganic salt mix- ture contained in food previously used. Note the influence of this dietary change on the appetite of the animals. In period 1 mixed food was used. The composition of food, during the other periods was as shown in table. Chart LXIII.
