Abstract
1. Mothers in Hirosaki area show, as has been repeatedly shown by us, clinical symptoms of nutritional dystrophy.
2. Exclusively breast-fed infants of these mothers, as has been shown by Kagaya, do not show clinical signs of nutritional dystrophy.
3. These infants, however, show in electrophoretic pattern of serum protein, a decrease in albumin and an increase in gamma globulin.
4. So these breast-fed infants without clinical symptoms of nutri-tional dystrophy show a close nutritional connection with their mothers with distinct clinical symptoms of it in that peculiar electrophoretic pattern of serum protein.
