Sprue Treated by Calcium Lactate and Parathyroid Extract

Report of Four Cases

Charles A. Shepard AND Wm. D. Fleming
Medical Corps, United States Army

Four cases of sprue are reported. Of these, 3 were cured and the fourth greatly improved when last seen.

The administration of calcium lactate with parathyroid extract, together with a diet limited at first to milk and later avoiding all excess of sugar, starch and fat, were the chief factors in attaining these clinical results.

The soreness and ulceration of mouth and tongue were cured by the local application of a solution of arsphenamine.

Received June 28, 1926.
