X don't know what that figure is, tut you would certainly/inter=

Bat at least you can say that 100 milligrass per day, en|the
average, will get the person up to his 1000 grass in 20
ani the actual rates vary.

I have these curves if anyer

wants to look at thea, incidentally.

Starting for

at the age of one year, the person is accumulating calcite at
the rate of 150 milligrans ani that goes down to the age
4 to 5 — to ubere he needs 50 milligrans of caloiun per ¢
laid dewn to maintain a normal grovih rate. During the aie

lescent years it gces up as high as 250 milligrans of calbiua,

person into account,

But on the average cf 100 atlligran

in 20 years (the grovth period), The reason I have used phat
figure is that our analyses show that apyrcximtely 700

7/20 of a gram, 700 nilligrans, is the amount of strorz
Which is fcund cn eualyses of human bone, so that in the
absence of any further data we just assused that strontiw
is being Jaid down in the sane relative proporticn to calqium, and so using the calcium curve you can then make an es
as to the anmcunt of strontius which the body is depositinz
