Excerpt from Nutrition and Growth in Children
IN 1908, while in charge of the Children's Out Patient Clinic in the Boston Dispensary, I became interested in a number of undernourished children who kept coming to the dispensary week after week and month after month, passing from one department to another without receiving help. Their records showed long histories and repeated examinations, yet the most frequent diagnoses were] Debility or NO disease. From the medical standpoint there was nothing the matter with them, but from the point of view of physical fitness there was everything the matter with them.
I formed a group or class of 12 of these children, and had them report once a week with the idea of studying them for the whole 24-hour period to dis cover if possible the real cause of their poor physical condition. In order to visualize their progress, as well as to arouse interest, I made charts showing the actual weight of the children from week to week, with a comparative line representing what their weight should be. The mothers were invited to at tend the class and consulted as to the possible cause of failure to gain. Advice was then given on any point that seemed to promise better results.
Although the majority of the group showed some signs of improvement, and an occasional child would gain sufficiently to come up to the average standard.
