Respiration Experiment No. 3. 



Date, September 9, 1911. Body- weight without clothing, 60.2 kilos, 

 (assumed). 



This experiment began at 9 h 53 m a. m. with the subject fasting, was con- 

 tinued for two 15-minute periods, and ended at 10 h 31 m a. m. The pulse-rate 

 ranged from 64 to 78. The carbohydrate-free diet was discontinued beginning 

 with this day, no record being made of the food eaten on this and succeeding 

 days. The results of the experiment may be found in table 135. 



Respiration2Experiment No. 4. 



Date, September 11, 1911. Body-weight without clothing, 60.2 kilos, 

 (assumed). 



On the second day after the discontinuance of the carbohydrate-free diet, 

 another respiration experiment was made with the subject after a 12-hour fast. 

 The experiment began at 8 h 22 m a. m., continued for three 15-minute periods, 

 and ended at 9 h 37 m a. m. The pulse-rate ranged from 66 to 72. The results 

 of the experiment are given in table 135. 



Subject began the carbohydrate-free diet after the noon meal of Sept. 5, 1911. 

 2 Subject resumed his normal diet on the morning of Sept. 9, 1911. 



RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS WITH H. L. H. 



It is obvious from the data given in table 135 for the oxygen consumption 

 that the metabolism was much higher during the carbohydrate-free diet than 

 during the normal diet. This is further substantiated by the fact that the 

 pulse-rate was higher, particularly on the first day on which measurements 

 were secured.

The subject subsisted on a carbohydrate-free diet after the noon meal of Sept. 5, 1911.
