“…During the period Nov. lst, 1914, to Oct. 31st, 1915.618 cases with 8614 deaths were recorded ; from Nov. 1st, 1915, to Oct. 31st, 1916,656 cases with only 700 deaths. The frequency of typhoid was therefore five and a half times less during the'second year of war than during the first, and the mortality more than twelve times less.…”

“…But will there be a limit to this~In our case it would seem that a limit might be reached where the percentage wastage of fat is so much higher than the percentage absorption, that the total absorption would begin to fall in amount. On -theother hand it is possible, as Spriggs and Leigh (6) suggest, where the patient's general nutrition is good, the percentage wastage of fat might become constant, as was the case throughout in the analyses by Garrod and Hurtley. In either event, however, it is evident that such an excess of fat may be passed on a diet too rich in fat as to produce diarrhoea with loss-of nutrition.…”

IN this paper we present a clinical and analytical study of a case of eongenital steatorrhoea and compare it with the only previous example of the condition as yet reported. The term steatorrhoea, which has sometimes been used to cover all cases passing an obvious excess of fat in the stools (fatty diarrhoea, diarrhoea alba), is here used in its more correct and restricted sense, namely, as indicating a passage from the bowel of separated liquid fat which congeals on cooling (Butterstiihle). This phenomenon, which patients may describe as the passage of butter, oil, or grease, is one of comparative rarity. Acquired steatorrhoea is a well-known symptom. The most clearly defined of such cases are those associated with acquired disease of the pancreas, in which the steatorrhoea is regarded as due to a failure of the action of the pancreatic lipase. Indeed it is generally held, as Salomon has stated (5), that true steatorrhoea is observed only in pancreatic disease. Congenital steatorrhoea, in which the stools are abnormal from birth, has, so far as we know, only been studied in a single case up to the present time. This unique case was reported in 1913 by Garrod and Hurtley (3) under the title of Congenital Family Steatorrhoea.
