METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 113. 



Subject, T. M. C, June 7, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 112.) 



After a light breakfast taken about 7 a. m., and consisting of a cup of 

 coffee with cream and sugar, one banana with cream, and one cruller, the 

 subject entered the chamber and was weighed at 7 h 58 m a. m. The experiment 

 proper began at 9 h 04 m a, m. Except for the usual opening and closing of the 

 food aperture each period when receiving and replacing the clinical ther- 

 mometer and twice changing the position of his chair, the subject remained 

 seated in the chair until the beginning of the third period, when he rose, went 

 to the food aperture, and took out his lunch. He began eating at l h 12 m p. m. 

 and finished at l h 28 m p. m., his lunch consisting of 262 grams of oranges and 

 sandwich (the weights were not made separately) and 454 grams of milk. 

 The subject stated that he began to feel cool about 11 a. m., at ll h 45 m a. m. 

 was warm, and after lunch felt rather chilly. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 8 h 38 m a. m., 79 ; 

 9 h 03 m a. m., 79 ; 10 h 10 m a. m., 77 ; ll h 05 m a. m., 72 ; ll h 58 m a. m., 70 ; 12 h 59 m 

 p. m., 66 ; l h 30 m p. m., 71 ; 2 h 05 m p. m., 73 ; 2 h 55 m p. m., 74. The body- 

 temperatures, taken in the mouth, were at 9 h 04 m a. m., 98.4 P. ; ll h 04 m a. m., 

 98.4 F. ; l h 04 m p.m., 98.1 F. ; 3 h 04 m p.m., 98.3 F. The results of the 

 metabolism for the three 2-hour periods are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 114. 



Subject, H. C. M., April 27, 1905. Age, 27 years 6 months; 

 height, 166 cm.; weight without clothing, 85.4 kilos. 



The subject was a computer in connection with the nutrition investigations 

 and was therefore accustomed to seeing experiments conducted with the ap- 

 paratus. He entered the respiration calorimeter shortly after 8 a, m. after 

 eating a breakfast consisting of grapefruit, lamb chops, fried potatoes, biscuit, 

 and coffee. At 8 h 30 m a. m. he was weighed as usual in the swinging-chair 

 inside the chamber and then settled himself comfortably in preparation for 

 the experiment. The experiment proper began at 9 h 56 m a. m. and continued 

 until 3 h 56 m p. m. in three 2-hour periods. 



During the first two hours the subject got up once from the chair and put 

 the thermometer into the food aperture and sat down again. Immediately 

 after the beginning of the second period at ll h 58 m a. m. the subject arose from 

 his chair, went to the food aperture and took out several articles for his lunch. 

 Between ll h 58 m a. m. and 12 h 24 m p. m. the lunch, which consisted of 125 

 grams of crackers, 229 grams of bananas, and 380 c. c. of water, was eaten. 

 Once during this period the subject stood up, moved about, and then sat down 

 again. At the beginning of the third period the subject stood up twice, went 

 to the food aperture, and put the uneaten food into it, then sat down. During 

 the latter hour of the third period he was asleep for a short time. After
