Dressing and Undressing Experiments. 87 



a.m., 66; 10 h 55 m a.m., 60; ll h 25 m a.m., 65; ll h 40 m a.m., 65. The sub- 

 lingual body-temperature was at S h 48 m a. m., 98 F. ; ll h 48 ra a. m., 97.9 F. ; 

 12 h 48 m p. m., 97.9 F. The results of the metabolism for the experiment are 

 given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 174. 



Subject, E. M. S., March 21, 1905. Age, 27 years 1 month; 

 height, 175 cm.; weight without clothing, 64.6 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at 1 p. m. and was weighed 

 at l h 33 m p. m. The last meal taken previous to entering the chamber was 

 at 9 h 15 m a. m., at which time the subject ate 1 banana, a portion of prepared 

 cereal with 3 teaspoonfuls of sugar, and about one-fourth pint of cream, a 

 few raisins, 1 fig, one-half pint of milk, a slice of whole-wheat bread, and a 

 small amount of peanut butter. The rest period, during which the subject 

 copied most of the time, began at 2 h 16 m p. m. and continued until 5 h 16 m 

 p. m. At 2 h 19 m p. m. he went to the food aperture. The undressing period 

 continued from 5 h 16 m p. m. to 6 h 16 m p. m. The subject finished the routine 

 of weighing and undressing at 5 h 40 m p. m. and the rest of the time remained 

 quiet with the exception of a little reading. He was undressed 2 m 27 s . 



The pulse-rate as taken by the subject was as follows: 2 h 30 m p.m., 80; 

 2 h 50 m p.m., 78; 3 h 20 m p.m., 74; 3 h 43 m p.m., 72; 4 h 14 m p.m., 76; 4 h 50 m 

 p.m., 75; 5 h 12 m p.m., 74. The sublingual body-temperature was at 2 h 16 m 

 p. m., 98.4 F.: 5 h 16 m p. m., 98.2 F. ; 6 h 16 m p. m., 98.4 F. The results of 

 the metabolism for the experiment are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 175. 



Subject, G. E. H., March 22, 1905. Age, 27 years 1 month; 

 height, 179 cm.; weight without clothing, 63.1 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at 8 o'clock after a breakfast 

 consisting of rolled oats and milk and a muffin, and was weighed at 8 h 03 m 

 a. m. The rest period began at 9 h 07 m a. m. and ended at 12 h 07 m p. m., the 

 subject being occupied with copying most of the time. At 9 h 09 m a. m. he 

 went to the food aperture. He was asleep for a moment at 9 h 36 m a. m. The 

 undressing period was from 12 h 07 m p. m. until l h 07 m p. m. The subject went 

 through the routine for this period as usual, except that the weight with cloth- 

 ing was taken twice. He finished at 12 h 38 m p. m. and sat reading until l h 07 m 

 p. m. He was undressed 6 m . 



The pulse-rate as taken by the subject was as follows: 9 h 10 m a.m., 61; 

 10 a.m., 58; 10 h 30 m a.m., 60; ll h 30 m a.m., 56; ll h 56 m a.m., 60. The 

 sublingual body-temperature was taken only at the beginning and end of the 

 rest period, and was at 9 h 07 m a.m., 97.5 F., and at 12 h 07 m p.m., 97.4 F. 

 The results of the metabolism for the experiment are given in table 44.
