Abstract
In reviewing the literature on the blood chemistry of the new-born, it was found that there were only sporadic data on the chemistry during the first few days of life and none of a comparative nature on the first, third and fifth days. Although a great deal of work has been carried out on certain selected constituents of the blood during inanition fever, such as studies on blood concentration and chlorids, no systematic comparison is available between normal new-born infants and inanition cases. In 1922, we presented a preliminary report on the blood chemistry of the new-born; this paper is a detailed and extended account of the comparison of the blood chemistry of the normal new-born and those suffering from inanition fever. EXPERIMENTAL PART Clinically healthy babies were chosen for the data on normal infants, precautions having been taken that these infants had sufficient fluid and food intake. Only those
