Correspondence, research material, writings, speeches, notes, photographs, printed publications, and other records that document his professional activities from 1956 until his death in 1996. The largest group of files within the collection, the Research Files, documents the extensive research conducted over a span of forty years by Dr. Fregly in areas such as hypertension, salt preference and appetite, body temperature, and fluid and electrolyte balance. His research productivity is clearly demonstrated by the large size of the Publications and Writings Series, which includes journal articles, monographs, chapters in books, reviews, and an assortment of other writings. In addition, the collection contains Dr. Fregly's correspondence, personal papers and memorabilia, and papers pertaining to his teaching and professional activities as a member of the UF faculty. Of particular interest is the Patent and Financial Files Series, which is comprised of legal and financial material concerning patents held by Fregly. Several files in this series pertain to the thirst quencher beverage TQII invented by Fregly, J.R. Cade, and M. Privette. Their patent to this invention was the subject of law suits by Quaker Oats, which claimed that the beverage was too similar to Gatorade (also created by Cade and owned by Quaker).
