Conclusion
In conclusion, therefore, we have found that the mortality on the Meulengracht regimen closely approximates the Sippy treatment insofar as we can determine from a small series of cases. It surpasses the Sippy in being pleasanter for the patients and in maintaining their strength. We could not obtain evidence that Weeding stopped any quicker on the Meulengracht or that the extra food increased the rate of blood regeneration.
