Abstract

The classic work of Francis Glisson, a Cambridge physician, titled “De Rachitide” was published in Latin in 1650 and is still considered a treatise on rickets. Glisson was of the opinion that rickets was neither transmissible nor hereditary. His hypothesis regarding the association of age to the onset of rickets has remained time-tested [1].
