Dressing and Undressing Experiments. 85 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 169. 



Subject, J. N. T., March 2, 1905. Age, 21 years 10 months; 

 height, 173 cm.; weight without clothing, 63.5 kilos. 



The subject entered the calorimeter at about 1 p. m., after eating a dinner 

 consisting of 1 pork chop, 2 boiled potatoes, a dish of onions, 2 pieces of bread, 

 and 1 piece of prune pie. He was weighed at l h 07 m p. m. and the rest period 

 began at 2 h 16 m p. m. and continued until 5 h 16 m p. m. At 2 h 18 m p. m. he 

 went to the food aperture. During most of this period he was occupied in 

 writing. The undressing period was from 5 h 16 ra p. m. to 6 h 16 m p. m. The 

 subject was undressed 3 m 15 s . 



The pulse-rate as taken by the subject was as follows : l h 45 m p. m., 78 ; 

 2 h 30 m p. m., 93 ; 3 h 30 m p. m., 73 ; 4 h 30 m p. m., 63 ; 5 p. m., 61. The sub- 

 lingual body-temperature was as follows: 2 h 16 m p. m., 98.7 F. ; 5 h 16 m p. m., 

 97.7 F. ; 6 h 16 m p. m., 98.2 F. The results of the metabolism for the experi- 

 ment are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 170. 



Subject, C. A. R., March 18, 1905. Age, 18 years 11 months; 

 height, 174 cm.; weight without clothing, 59.7 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at about 8 a. m. Previous to 

 this he had eaten breakfast consisting of 2 dishes of oatmeal, fried potatoes, 

 and a glass of milk. He was weighed at 8 h 16 m a. m. ; the rest period began 

 at 8 h 57 m a. m. and continued until ll h 57 m a. m. During this time he was 

 copying from reports and from a magazine. At 9 h 01 m a. m. he went to the 

 food aperture. The undressing period was from ll h 57 m a. m. to 12 h 58 m p. m., 

 and the subject followed the usual routine for the period. He was undressed 

 2 m 21 s . He was somewhat drowsy for a few minutes at the end of the period. 

 He stood up and sat down at 12 h 40 m p. m. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject during the experiment was as 

 follows: 9 a.m., 108; 9 h 30 m a.m., 100; 10 a.m., 95; 10 h 30 m a.m., 87; 11 

 a. m., 89 ; ll h 30 m a. m., 77 ; 12 noon, 78 ; 12 h 30 m p. m., 85. The sublingual 

 body-temperature was at 8 h 57 m a. m., 98.3 F. ; ll h 57 m a, m., 98 F.; 12 h 58 m 

 p. m., 98.4 F. The results of the metabolism for the experiment are recorded 

 in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 171. 



Subject, A. G., March 18, 1905. Age, 24 years 1 month; 

 height, 170 cm.; weight without clothing, 63.3 kilos. 



The subject entered the chamber at 1 p. m., after a dinner consisting of 

 roast pork, potatoes, 3 slices of bread with butter, lemon pie, and prunes. He 

 was weighed at l h 12 m p. m. and the rest period began at 2 p. m. and con- 

 tinued until 5 p. m. Part of the time he wrote, copying from a magazine and 

 a report. At 2 h 01 m p. m. he went to the food aperture. At 3 p. m. it was
