88 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 176. 



Subject, G. H. H., March 23, 1905. Age, 21 years 4 months; 

 height, 163 cm.; weight without clothing, 51.7 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber after a breakfast consisting 

 of prepared cereal with sugar and milk, 2 biscuits and a glass of milk, and 

 was weighed at 7 h 55 m a. m. The experiment began at 8 h 47 a. m., and the 

 first rest period ended at 9 h 56 a. m. The second rest period was from 

 9 h 56 m a. m. to ll h 56 a. m. The subject did the usual copying during this 

 period. At 8 h 49 a. m. he went to the food aperture. The undressing period 

 was from ll h 56 a. m. to 12 h 56 p. m. The subject followed the usual routine 

 for this period, but there was more muscular activity than with some of the 

 other subjects. He finished the routine at 12 h 24 p. m. and remained quiet 

 until the end of the experiment at 12 h 56 m p. m. The subject was un- 

 dressed 2 m 24 s . 



The pulse-rate as taken by the subject was as follows: 9 h 05 a.m., 97; 

 9 h 34 m a.m., 90; 10 h 09 m a.m., 88; 10 h 45 m a.m., 85; ll h 15 m a.m., 91; 

 ll h 45 m a. m., 85. The sublingual body-temperature was taken as usual, and 

 was as follows: 8 47 a.m., 98.5 F. ; ll h 56 m a.m., 98.6 F.; 12 h 5G m p.m., 

 99 F. The results of the metabolism for the experiment are recorded in 

 table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 177. 



Subject, J. W. H., March 23, 1905. Age, 29 years 1 month; 

 height, 175 cm.; weight without clothing, 61.2 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber after a lunch consisting of 

 2 glasses of milk, 2 slices of bread and butter, 4 slices of corned beef with 

 horseradish, and 2 pieces of cake, and was weighed at l h 05 m p. m. The rest 

 period began at l h 40 m p.m. and continued until 4 h 40 p.m., during which 

 time the subject was engaged in copying, although not all of the time was 

 thus occupied. At l h 44 m p. m. he went to the food aperture, and again at 

 3 h 19 m p. m. The undressing period was from 4 h 40 m p. m. to 5 h 40 m p. m., and 

 the regular routine was finished at 5 h 07 m p. m. The subject was undressed 

 3 ra 32 s . 



The pulse-rate as taken by the subject was as follows : l h 50 m p. m., 71 ; 

 2 h 35 p.m., 69; 3 h 30 m p.m., 70; 4 h 30 p.m., 69. The sublingual body- 

 temperature, taken as usual, was as follows: l h 40 m p.m., 98.5 F. ; 4 h 40 m 

 p.m., 98.3 F.; 5 h 40 m p.m., 98.6 F. The results of the metabolism for 

 the experiment are recorded in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 178. 



Subject, G. W. S., March 25, 1905. Age, 20 years 1 month; 

 height, 173 cm.; weight without clothing, 50.7 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber after a breakfast consisting 

 of 2 dishes of oatmeal and 3 muffins and was weighed at 8 h 09 a. m. The
