Coincideas with the discovery of Dr. Fraser, other specialists in various parts of the world were working along the same lines and with the same theory, which, briefly, is that, bari-bori is caused by the lack of phosphorus in the diet of those afl cled with the disease. Among these is Dr. Hans Aion, of the biological laboratory of the Bureau of
