TL;DR
Most of the problems of iron therapy which have troubled physicians during the past half century are fundamentally traceable to the authors' ignorance of the mechanism by which iron is absorbed from the intestinal tract.

The plasma is clearly the means of transport of iron from the gastrointestinal tract to its point of mobilization for fabrication into hemoglobin, and the speed of absorption and transfer of iron to the red cell is spectacular.

A series of experiments was designed to put the theory that the capacity of the human body to excrete iron may be very much less than has generally been supposed to the test and some of the results are recorded.

A growing interest in the mechanism by which iron is transported in the blood stream has been stimulated by the desire to understand more fully this essential phase of iron metabolism in the mammalian body.

Iron is now recognized in three forms in the blood: hemoglobin iron, plasma iron, and " easily split-off " iron, so termed because weak acids readily free it from its lightly bound state in the erythrocytes and in plasma.

Until more is known of the mechanisms involved in different types of anemia, in man and animals, the statement of Witts is much to the point, namely, that no apology is needed for considering the field of clinical medicine the testing ground of iron therapy.

In patients with depletion of stored iron due to a bleeding ulcer, dietary iron alone is insufficient to stimulate rapid formation of hemoglobin, and chronic anemia often persists after the bleeding is stopped.

It is thus of interest to inquire whether other factors may be lacking besides iron and, if so, whether these factors when supplied can assist in the formation of hemoglobin.

The hemoglobin response to small amounts of iron has been found to be less satisfactory, although the amount of iron would seem to be adequate for hemoglobin regeneration if it were properly absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract.
