Jan. 31, 1905: 



7 h 30 m a. m. Heavy sleep from 11 p. m. to 

 6 h 30 m a. m. Tongue is still coated 

 and I have a sweetish-sour taste in 

 throat. Am commencing to feel a 

 little nervous and legs unsteady. 



8 a. m. Have removed the rectal ther- 

 mometer, as it causes considerable 

 irritation. 



9 h 15 m a. m. Had a desire to defecate. 

 Considerable amount of gas passed 

 off. 



12 m. Have smelt an odor of soda or 

 lime 3 or 4 times since I have been 

 in calorimeter. It was very stifling 

 for 30 seconds or so and then 

 passed away. 



5 h 15 m p. m. Again I can smell an odor 

 of lime. 



7 h 30 m p. m. Am commencing to feel 

 weak and tired, but I will go the 

 limit of 5 days as I intended to. 



10 p. m. Passed a very comfortable day, 

 but became weak towards evening. 



Feb. 1, 1905: 



7 h 30 m a. m. Passed the night fairly well, 

 but not as well as the previous 

 night. Awoke a few times during 

 night, but fell asleep again in a few 

 minutes; awoke at 5 a. m. and did 

 not sleep again until 6 h 30 m a. m. 



8 a. m. My tongue is still coated and I 

 have a sweet taste in my mouth. 



9 h 15 m a. m. Had a desire to defecate, but 

 unsuccessful. My knees feel weak; 

 muscles feel relaxed. 



2 p. m. Have not drunk the usual 

 amount of water, as it is commenc- 

 ing to taste rather badly and I am 

 not thirsty. 



8 p. m. My tongue has been swollen all 

 day; noticed it when I awoke this 

 morning. 



10 p. m. Feel very much stronger and 

 more comfortable than I did during 

 the day. Could fast 2 more days at 

 least.
