lation showed an increase. This was probably becauseof relative inactivity in addition to having
ample supplies of food. Weight changes are shown in Appendices A and B. The special measurements taken on children age 19 or less showed no significant abnormalities.
Chest X-ray examinations revealed only long-standing changes ascribable to previous
disease.* Estimates of bone age from wrist X-rays! were in keeping with the stated Age. X-
rays of long bones showed no abnormalities ascribable to radiation effects. Of 40 Kahn tests
given to exposed individuals, three were 3+. Two of these gave a history of, or had physical
findings consistent with, late syphilis. Previous yaws per se did not result in a positive Kahn
test.
