LIME FOR BOW-LEGS AND KNOCK-KNEES
Knock-knees, bow-legs, and other deformities of children are caused, according to a doctor, writing in the journal of the American Medical Association* by a lack of lime in the food. In such cases there is generally a history of artificial feeding, which usually means that the milk was sterilised or pasteurised. These processes, while ensuring the purity of the milk, destroy the vitamins which are so necessary to healthy growth.. The vitamins are essential to the assimilation of lime, and without lime the bones grow soft.
