Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



the study of the effect upon metabolism of the ingestion of food, and the 

 details and results for the first portion are therefore reserved for a later 

 publication. The periods here given are from l h 10 m a. m. to 7 h 10 m a. m., 

 May 16, when the subject was in bed asleep, and from 7 h 10 m a. m. to l h 10 m 

 p. m., when he was lying in bed awake. 



The pulse and respiration were counted from the indications on the pneumo- 

 graph and the records are given in table 42. The body- temperature was taken 

 by means of the electrical rectal thermometer. The records are given herewith 

 and are as follows: l h 10 m a.m., 36.50 C. ; 3 U 10 ra a.m.,

Subject, H. C. K., May 23, 1906. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 155.) 



The subject entered the respiration chamber the day before. Shortly after 

 entering he was weighed at 7 h 54 m a. m., and between 8 h 40 m a. m. and 9 h 25 m 

 a. m. he ate 38 grams of gluten bread and 1009 grams of skim milk. The rest 

 of the day he remained seated quietly in the chair until 9 h 30 m p. m., when 

 he urinated and went to bed, after making the customary preparations for 

 the night. He slept during the night with his clothes on and with a blanket 

 drawn up over him, and the next morning instead of getting up, he lay in 

 bed awake and remained quiet until l h 30 m p. m. The blanket was removed 

 at 6 h 15 m a. m. and was not used again during the remainder of the experi-
