Abstract
ACCORDING to a note in the Chinese Journal of Physiology, 1935, Eric Reid, of the Henry Lester Institute of Medical Research, Shanghai, died there on November 24, 1935. Reid was born on October 3, 1906, at Gamrie, in Banffshire, Scotland. In 1929-32 he worked at the Rowett Research Institute, Aberdeen, upon the absorption of foodstuffs, chiefly carbohydrates and phosphates, from the alimentary canal. Going to Shanghai in 1933, he undertook a study of basic facts regarding the composition of local foodstuffs, general dietaries and infant feeding and much of this programme was accomplished.
