Influence of Inanition on Metabolism.

Changes in Body-Weight Compabed with Balance of Income and Outgo. 



The difficulties previously mentioned, which had interfered somewhat in 

 the weighing of the subject and articles in the chamber, were largely overcome 

 by experience. This experience resulted in an extremely satisfactory balance 

 between the actual losses in body-weight and the differences between the 

 income and outgo. 



In considering the outgo, 48.40 grams of fresh feces passed on the first 

 day of the experiment but belonging to the food eaten before the experiment 

 have not been taken into consideration. For explanation of this omission, 

 see page 120. The apparent discrepancies between the amounts of urine as 

 recorded in line d of table 130 and column a of table 123 have also been 

 explained for the corresponding table of experiment No. 68, page 66.
