METABOLISM IN SEVERE DIABETES. 



that the nosepieces hurt her a little in the first period. In the second she 

 moved rather more than usual, but was quiet in the other periods. After the 

 third period she sat up, lying down again 20 minutes before the fourth period 

 began. The subject urinated at 10 h 17 a. m. and ll h 45 m a. m. The results of 

 the experiment are given in tables 90 and 91.

1 Subject ate 153 gms. of beefsteak between 7 h 30 m and 7 h 42 m a.m. 



2 Carbon dioxide eliminated per kilogram per minute, 4.36 c.c. ; oxygen absorbed per kilogram per minute, 6.42 c.c.
