the experiment the subject said that throughout the whole experimental period 

 there was a great pressure on the bladder. This doubtless was the cause of the 

 uneasiness shown by the subject as indicated by the calorimeter temperature 

 fluctuations. The measurements of the metabolism and data regarding the 

 pulse and respiration rates and urine are given in table 8. 



CASE I. 



DESCRIPTION OF THE CASE. 



Male; born February 2, 1886; married; chauffeur; date of onset not known, 

 but probably some time in 1900; sugar found in urine May 1902, with indica- 

 tions that it had been present for some time; came under our observation 

 October 25, 1909; died May 1912. The earlier details of the case have pre- 

 viously been published in full. 1 



An attack of influenza in the spring of 1910 reduced the strength of the 

 patient materially, yet he recovered sufficiently to go into the poultry business

stools. 

 6 Thedataregarding the urine for this subject can not be considered reliable, as it was impossible to make a careful 

 collection, owing to diarrhea If such collection had been made, it is probable that this subject would 

 have shown a minus carbohydrate balance, as he did in the period covered by data published in the first 

 report (Publication No. 136, p. 127). 



and care for some 70 hens. His diet was not limited and included, among other 

 articles, 2 quarts of milk, 6 oranges, and 10 eggs daily. In February 1911, 

 he returned to the hospital on account of diarrhea which had existed for some 

 time. Under hospital care the number of stools decreased from 12 to 5 daily 

 and his condition improved. The physical examination remained the same. 

 The patient's condition did not change during 1911. In the early winter 

 he went to Tampa, Florida, and found the climate agreeable, but in February 

 1912, as the diarrhea had returned, he again went to the hospital for a few days. 

 Except for emaciation and weakness and the presence of numerous furuncles, 

 his condition had changed but little since his previous visit to the hospital. He 

 was much relieved by the rest and soon returned home. In April 1912 he 

 was considerably weakened by a carbuncle. Attention is called to the remark- 

 able duration of this case, as well as of Case H, and to the hereditary history of 

 diabetes of each.
