Uptake of Small Resin Particles by the Alimentary Canal of the Calf

Abstract

WE are grateful to Prof. R. B. Fisher for his comments but must point out that no claim was made that “similar processes may be of nutritional significance”. We presume the sentence under question is : “We suggest that the use of radioactive particles of this kind may prove to be a sensitive method for the study of various problems of infectious disease and possibly also in work on nutrition and nutritional allergy” ; but this can scarcely be taken as implying that the absorption of particles is of nutritional significance.
