90 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



The pulse-rate per minute as taken by the subject was : 9 h 45 m a. m., 84 ; 

 10 h 30 m a.m., 74; ll h 20 m a.m., 70; 12 noon, 66. The sublingual body- 

 temperature at the beginning of the period was 97.7 F. ; and at the end, 

 97.7 F. The results of the metabolism during the experiment are given in 

 table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 180. 



Subject, C. F. S., June 21, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 179.) 



The subject entered the chamber at about 6 p. m., after a supper consisting 

 of 2 slices of bread, 1 saucer of strawberries, and 2-| glasses of milk. The 

 experiment began at 7 h 10 m p. m., and there was one period, ending at 9 h 40 m 

 p. m. The subject remained quiet in the chair during the whole of the 

 experiment, except that she opened the food aperture once at 8 h 2G m p. m. 

 to get a bottle of water, from which she then drank 48 c. c. The only com- 

 ment made by the subject was that she felt physically tired before entering 

 the calorimeter chamber. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: G h 30 m p.m., 89; 

 7 p.m., 77; 7 h 45 m p.m., 85; 8 p.m., 82; 8 h 30 m p.m., 72; 9 p.m., 67; 

 9 h 30 m p. m., 67. The sublingual body-temperature at 7 h 10 m p. m. was 98.7 F. 

 and at 9 h 48 m p. m., 97.2 F. The results of the metabolism during the experi- 

 ment are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 181. 



Subject, G. E. B., June 22, 1905. Age, 26 years 2 months; 

 height, 157 cm.; weight without clothing, 57.7 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at 8 a. m., after a breakfast 

 consisting of toast, and ham and eggs. The experiment began at 9 h 18 m a. m. 

 and shortly afterwards the subject went to the food aperture and placed the 

 thermometer in it, and sat down. At 10 h 48 m a. m., the beginning of the 

 second period, she again took her temperature, opening the food aperture to 

 get the thermometer, sitting down and taking the temperature, then rising 

 and placing the thermometer in the food aperture and sitting down again. 

 The experiment ended at 12 h 18 m p. m. The subject read most of the time. 

 This experiment was the first with this subject, and her only comment was 

 that she felt cold during the hour from 9 to 10 a. m. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 8 h 20 m a. m., 100 ; 

 8 h 55 m a. m., 84 ; 9 h 25 m a. m., 82 ; 9 h 55 m a. m., 77 ; 10 h 40 m a. m., 74; ll h 10 m 

 a.m., 75; ll h 55 m a.m., 78. The sublingual body-temperatures were as fol- 

 lows: 9 h 18 m a. m., 98.7 F. ; 10 h 48 m a. m., 98.4 F. ; 12 h 18 m p. m., 98.1 F. 

 The results of the metabolism obtained in the two l h 30 m periods are given 

 in table 44.
