[New researches on mongolism related to the disease producing role of fluorine].
A new statistical study on the distribution of mongolism in cities in Illinois, United States, from January 1, 1950 to December 31, 1956, permits us to verify an increasing frequency of this affliction associated with the concentration of fluorine in the drinking water. This study follows a preceding inquiry on the

Water fluoridation and congenital malformations: no association
Data based on a total number of 1,387,027 births were used to compare the incidence of selected congenital malformations in fluoridated areas and that in areas where the water supply is deficient in fluoride. The incidence of selected congenital malformations in areas with fluoride supplementation of public water supplies was compared
