...time we discover fossils, many of which would probably be of interest to the Council. Only recently we discovered portions of a skeleton of a dinosaur which has been identified as that of a Trachadon-sometimes called the Duckbill Dinosaur. It is unusual because of the vast number of teeth in the skull-over 2,000-new ones coming out as the old ones wear down. This is the second or third skeleton of this type reported to have been found in South Dakota, the previous discoveries being by a Professor Cope. They are now in the American Museum...

Primitive northern people, the Eskimo's, suffer very little from rickets or caries. They get their Vitamin D from the great quantities of fish which they eat. Fish oils contain abundant quantities of Vitamin D (TIME. Dec. 12). "None of the usual foods supply enough of Vitamin...
Professor McCollum, 53, a big, sleepy-eyed, slow-talking savant, went to Manhattan last week to confirm an important discovery about decayed teeth. Dr. R. Gordon Agnew, pathologist, and Mrs. Agnew, nutritionist, had observed that the filthy-mouthed Chinese and Tibetans at West China Union University. Cheng-tu. Szechwan Province, where they teach, had sound teeth under crusts of tartar. The Agnews examined native foods, reasoned that phosphorus and sunlight were the essential preventives of tooth decay. They took leaves of absence from West China Union University to prove their theory on rats at the University of Toronto, their alma...
