42 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



waking, he twice rose and sat down. At the end of each period the subject 

 went to the food aperture to get the clinical thermometer, and after taking 

 his temperature, opened the food aperture again and replaced the thermometer. 

 No comments were made by the subject regarding his experience in the chamber. 

 The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: at 11 a.m., 82; 

 12 noon, 80 ; 1 p. m., 80 ; 2 p. m., 71 ; 3 p. m., 75 ; 4 p. m., 71. The sublingual 

 body-temperatures were as follows: at 9 h 56 m a.m., 98.0 P.; ll h 56 m a.m., 

 98.0 F. ; l h 56 m p. m., 97.8 F. ; 3 h 56 m p. m., 97.6 F. The total metabolism 

 as measured for the three 2-hour periods is given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 115. 



Subject, H. C. M., June 9, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 114.) 



The subject's breakfast was eaten at the usual time and consisted of veal 

 chops, potato, rolls, and coffee. He entered the respiration chamber shortly 

 after 8 o'clock, was weighed at 8 h 36 m a. m., and the experiment proper began 

 at 9 h 53 m a. m. Immediately after the experiment began the subject followed 

 the usual routine in that he rose from the chair, received the thermometer 

 from the food aperture, took his temperature, replaced the thermometer in the 

 food aperture, and sat down. At the beginning of the second period he re- 

 peated this operation. At l h 24 m p. m. he took his lunch from the food aper- 

 ture, sat down and ate it, finishing at l h 46 m p. m. At l h 53 m p. m. he repeated 

 the operation of taking his temperature. The experiment was finished at 

 3 h 53 m p. m. The lunch eaten consisted of 366 grams of bananas and 109 

 grams of crackers. He also drank 366 c. c. of water with his lunch. The 

 subject reported at the close of the experiment that he was comfortable and 

 had enjoyed his stay in the calorimeter. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 9 a. m., 100 ; 

 10 a.m., 88; 11 a.m., 77; 12 noon, 75; 1 p.m., 71; 2 p.m., 75; 3 p.m., 79. 

 The sublingual body-temperatures were: at 9 h 53 m a.m., 98.4 F. ; ll h 53 m 

 a. m., 97.8 F. ; l h 53 m p. m., 98.1 F. ; 3 h 53 m p. m., 98.1 F. The results of 

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



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 116. 



Subject, S. C. D., April 28, 1905. Age, 31 years 2 months; 

 height, 178 cm.; weight without clothing, 76.1 kilos. 



The subject entered the chamber shortly after 8 a. m., after a breakfast con- 

 sisting of 2 soft-boiled eggs, grape nuts and cream, toast and coffee. He was 

 weighed at 8 h 15 m a. m., and then sat quietly until the beginning of the experi- 

 ment, which was at 9 h 16 m a. m. At the beginning of the first period he arose 

 from his chair and went to the food aperture, removed a bottle of water, and 

 placed the clinical thermometer in the food aperture. At the beginning of 

 the second period he again went to the food aperture and took out his lunch.
