38 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



strawberries, 131 grams of apples, 35 grams of sugar, and 464 grams of milk. 

 At 2 h 04 m p. m., urine was passed. At 2 h 16 m p. m., he ate an apple. At 

 2 h 45 m p. m., he rose from his chair, opened the food aperture 4 times, and 

 then slept on the bed until 4 h 10 m p. m., when he awoke and, without rising, 

 read until 4 h 45 m p. m. He then rose, went to the food aperture, removed the 

 thermometer, sat down in the chair, took his temperature, and then went to 

 the food aperture and replaced the thermometer. At 5 h 20 m p. m., he drank 

 a portion of the milk from his lunch. At 6 h 24 m p. m., he went to the food 

 aperture. At 6 h 45 m p. m. the subject again went to the food aperture to get 

 the thermometer, and, after taking his temperature, he replaced the ther- 

 mometer and passed urine. Then the subject stood up for a few minutes. 

 At 7 h 06 m p. m. he again went to the food aperture and took out his supper. 

 At 7 h 16 m p. m. the subject went to the food aperture again to get milk and 

 then commenced eating. The supper consisted of 192 grams of oranges, 243 

 grams of strawberries, 121 grams of sandwich, 37 grams of sugar, and 233 

 grams of milk. The subject finished eating at 7 h 26 m p. m. At 8 p. m. he 

 stood up and remained in this position until 8 h 30 m p. m. when he again sat 

 down. At 8 h 45 m p. m. he went to the food aperture and made the temperature 

 observation. At 10 h 45 m p. m. he again went to the food aperture, removed the 

 thermometer, took his temperature, and replaced the thermometer, and at 

 10 h 52 m p. m. began to undress. At 11 o'clock he passed urine, drank milk, 

 and arranged the bed. The records show that at 12 o'clock he was asleep. At 

 12 h 52 m a. m. he awoke and commenced to cough and continued awake and 

 coughing at intervals until l h 42 m a. m., when he was taken out of the chamber. 

 The total amount of urine passed was 682 grams. The subject said in his 

 notes that he felt normal all day, although he coughed occasionally. Soon 

 after he went to bed he began to cough and was unable to sleep. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: ll h 30 m a. m., 64; 

 l h 30 m p. m., 52 ; 2 h 30 m p. m., 57 ; 4 h 54 m p. m., 62 ; 7 h 10 m p. m., 59 ; 9 h 25 m 

 p. m., 56. The sublingual temperatures were as follows: 12 h 45 m p. m., 97.9 F. ; 

 2 h 45 m p.m., 98.0 F.; 4 h 45 m p.m., 97.9 F. ; 6 h 45 m p.m., 97.8 F.; 8 h 45 m 

 p. m., 97.8 F. The results of the metabolism for the seven periods, from 

 12 h 45 m p. m. to l h 42 m a. m., are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 109. 



Subject, J. C. W., March 29, 1904. Age, 26 years; height, 

 178 cm.; weight without clothing, 75.0 kilos. 



This subject (a student) had been used in a number of experiments which 

 had been made to study the influence of excessive exercise on metabolism and 

 the periods here reported were preliminary to another experiment which was 

 planned to study the influence of muscular work with this subject. Inasmuch 

 as during the forenoon he found the diet disagreed with him and was compelled 

 therefore to give up the work experiment, no further data could be accumulated.
