METABOLISM IN SEVERE DIABETES. 



Respiration Experiment No. R2. 



Date, August 15, 1910. Body-weight without clothing, 58.2 kilos. 



This experiment was preceded by the ingestion of food, and consisted of 

 but one 14-minute period, beginning at 10 h 15 m a. m. The results of the experi- 

 ment are given in table 66.

1 Food was taken by the subject before each of these experiments. 



! Carbon dioxide eliminated per kilogram per minute, 4.02 c.c.; oxygen absorbed per kilogram per minute, 5.50 c.c. 



The urine collected between 7' 1 55 m and 10 25 m a.m. amounted to 340 c.c. and contained 2.47 gms. nitrogen and 



16.5 gms. sugar.

Respiration Experiment No. R3. 



Date, September 15, 1910. Body-weight without clothing, 57.2 kilos. 



This experiment was also made after the ingestion of food and included 

 two periods, each of 12 minutes. The subject arrived at the laboratory at 

 12 h 45 m p. m., and lay on the couch for about 10 minutes before the experiment 

 began at 1^ 07 m p. m. The stethoscope was not used, the pulse-rate being 

 counted at the wrist. The subject lay perfectly quiet throughout the whole 

 experiment. The results are given in tables 66 and 67.

1 Subject probably ate food as usual. 



Calorimeter Experiment No. R4. 



Date, May 12, 1911. Body-weight without clothing, 55.3 kilos. 



The subject fasted in this experiment, coming to the laboratory at 7 h 20 m 

 a. m., without breakfast. This was the first time the bed calorimeter had been 

 used with this subject and, after he entered the apparatus at 7 h 51 m a. m., he 

 seemed somewhat nervous and apprehensive, asked a great many questions, 

 and moved around considerably. The experiment began at 8 1 ' 54 m a. m., and 

 continued for two periods, one of 45 minutes and the other of 47 minutes, end- 

 ing at 10 h 26 m a. m. Especially during the first period he was more active than 

 the average subject, telephoning, urinating, and drinking water. The pulse-rate 

 was obtained as usual with the stethoscope, and the two pneumographs were
