PHYSICIAN'S REPORT. 



Many of the subjects of the fasting experiments here reported were inex- 

 perienced in experiments of this nature. To insure the use of normal, healthy 

 persons, and to strengthen their confidence, arrangements were made with Dr. 

 J. E. Loveland, a practicing physician, to examine each of the men before 

 beginning the fasts. In certain of the longer experiments he was also requested 

 to visit the laboratory each day, and to report the condition of the subjects 

 as the fasts progressed. 



The results of his observations during the progress of three of the longer 

 fasts are recorded in the reports given herewith. 



The following is my report as attending physician to S. A. B., the subject who 

 fasted in the calorimeter from January 7-11, 1905. The observations were made by 

 telephoning to and inspecting the subject through a double glass window, the 

 subject being in a dimly lighted room. Such observations were limited to noting 

 the subject's mental condition as shown by oral and written statements, the facial 

 expression, the actions, movements, tone and strength of voice, color of skin, 

 condition of mouth and tongue, and physical condition, including pulse rate and 

 strength and body temperature as reported by the subject. During the 4 days of
