Prof. W. Stoltzner. Spasmophilia and the metabolism of calcium-containing substances, (from the University Polyclinic for Children's Diseases in Halle). Neurologisches Centralblatt No. 2-1908

Based on clinical and experimental observations of spasmophilia in children, in which sometimes feeding with cow's milk and the administration of calcium supplements significantly increases the galvanic excitability of peripheral nerves, the author proposed his own hypothesis of the nature of spasmophilia, which consists in the assumption of abnormal stagnation of calcium compounds in tissue fluids.
