Metabolism Experiment No. 72.

Effect of Ingestion of Food. 

 Diet. Following the fasts which the subject had previously made in private, 

 he was accustomed to break the fast by taking small quantities of orange juice, 

 and hence this material was included in the diet on this day. Later in the 

 day milk with an admixture of cream was taken.

1 Laboratory number, 3818. 



2 Not analyzed. The percentage composition is an average of two samples used in ex- 

 periments Nos. 74 and 76. 



Analysis of food. The statement was made on page 126 that the data of 

 this experiment were somewhat incomplete. This lack of completeness is first 

 noticeable in table 86, where no percentage composition of feces appears. The 

 reason for the omission of data on feces is explained beyond. The table does 

 show, however, the percentage composition in terms of nutrients and elements 

 of the ingested food, while table 87 shows the kinds and amounts of food, and 

 the nutrients and elements contained in it.
