Influence of Inanition on Metabolism. 



Routine. Xo prescribed program was insisted upon and the subject was 

 permitted to choose the routine which would be most convenient. During other 

 fasts outside the respiration chamber he had been accustomed to do a con- 

 siderable amount of walking and hence he desired to have the bicycle ergometer 

 placed inside the chamber in order that he might exercise each day. Shortly 

 after 9 o'clock of the first day he mounted the ergometer and rode against 

 resistance at a fairly rapid rate for about 10 minutes. On subsequent days he 

 was disinclined to take even this exercise, hence his muscular activity was 

 greatest on the first day. 



Body movements. A record of body movements compiled from the subject's 

 diary, the record sheet of the food aperture, and observations of the physical 

 observer is given herewith. 



Movements of subject. Duration, 4 days, from Jan. 7, 7 a. m., to Jan. 11, 



7 a. m., 1905.
