Notes from diary. Continued. 



December 10, 1905 (cont.) 



8 a. m. Moved around. The water I 

 drink tastes bad. Wrote letters 

 from 8 to 9 h 45 m a. m. 



9 h 45 m a. m. Lay down and read. Am 

 feeling considerably better than 

 when I first got up; water tastes 

 better. 



lPlS" 1 a. m. Have been reclining most 

 of the time; began to sit at table 

 and read. 



12 h 15 m p. m. Feel chilly, read and wrote 

 at table until nearly 2 h 30 m . 



2 h 30 m p. m. Lay down and rested and 

 read until 7; slept a little. 



7 h 15 m p. m. Sat and read and wrote. 

 Went to food aperture twice and 

 telephoned some during the evening. 

 My gums feel soft and a little sore; 

 have a peculiar sensation in my ab- 

 domen. Don't feel exactly hungry, 

 but feel empty. My chest is un- 

 comfortable when I lie on a hard 



part of the pneumograph; feel tired 

 particularly about the muscles in 

 my lower side and back which 

 comes, I suppose, from sitting up. 

 Slight desire to defecate. Lay down 

 about 10 h 30 m but stayed up until 

 then reading and writing. 



11 p. m. Went to bed. 



December 11, 1905: 



Had great difficulty in getting to sleep 

 last night; probably a little ner- 

 vous. Was hot and sweaty and the 

 pneumograph troubled me until 1 

 a. m. Woke up repeatedly and dozed 

 again, then slept until 2 a. m., was 

 awake a half hour. Slept until 4, 

 but did not stay awake long; slept 

 until 6 h 15 m . 



7 a. m. Rose and went through the usual 

 routine of weighing. Do not feel 

 dizzy, or sick, or uncomfortable in 

 any way. 



Experiment No. S9, D. W. 



January 10, 1906: 



Got into bed at ll h ll m last night. Slept 

 well until about 4 a. m. and dozed 

 from that time until 7 a. m. 



7 a. m. Feeling well except a little hazy, 

 possibly due to loss of sleep. Lay 

 down at 9 h 10 m and had a very com- 

 fortable nap, which lasted until 12" 

 30 m p. m. Still feel a little sleepy, 

 but do not feel especially hungry as 

 yet. 



2 u 45 m p. m. Have not felt hungry as yet. 

 Lay down at 3 h 5 m and had a slight 

 nap; got up at 5 h 30 m . Have not felt 

 very hungry nor have I felt uncom- 

 fortable in any way; do not feel 

 thirsty. 



Lay down at 8 h 15 m until 9 h 15 m . Feel a 

 little hungry for the first time. Re- 

 tired at ll h 5 m . 

 January 11, 1906: 



Woke up at 3 h 45 m a. m. not feeling very 

 well, and quite thirsty; took a large 

 drink of water, which did not taste 



very good. Lay down again and 

 dozed until 7 o'clock. Do not feel 

 quite as lively as I did yesterday 

 morning; somehow my stomach 

 feels a litle queer and I feel tired 

 in general. Drank a little water. 



9 h 10 m a. m. Was glad to lie down and 

 had a short nap, waking at 11. Feel 

 a little hungry now but water tastes 

 bad, so that I don't care much about 

 eating. Sat and read until 3 h 5 m p. 

 m. when I lay down. Am feeling 

 rather hungry now. At 3 h 5 m I lay 

 down and slept until 5. 



8 h 5 m p. m. Felt a little weak after the 

 strength test but otherwise am feel- 

 ing very well. The test seemed a 

 little harder than last night. 



At 10 h 23 m I had some fresh water passed 

 in; it tasted much better than any 

 of the water I had drunk before. 



Retired at 11 p. m. but did not sleep 

 very much. Tossed around consid- 

 erably.
