Metabolism Experiments Nos. 103-157. 43 



A little later he went to the food aperture and put in the clinical thermometer 

 which he had been using. About 20 minutes later he again rose and went to 

 the food aperture. From ll h 20 m a. m. until l h 44 m p. m., the subject was 

 eating intermittently. At ll h 30 m a. m., he passed urine. During the third 

 period he went to the food aperture twice in connection with the body-tempera- 

 ture observation. At 2 h 32 m p. m., he arose from his chair and passed urine. 



The subject's lunch consisted of 112 grams of bananas, 463 grams of milk, 

 230 grams of ham ( ?) sandMdch, and 65 grams of shelled nuts. The latter were 

 not eaten immediately, but at various times during the remainder of the experi- 

 ment. The subject voided 453 grams of urine during the experiment and 

 drank 195 c. c. of water. 



The subject said that soon after entering he noticed a peculiar odor in the 

 chamber, but it was not disagreeable. At 10 h 35 m a. m., he seemed to think 

 the air cooler than at the beginning, but it was not uncomfortable. Later he 

 said the air was warm again. The subject was a machinist who had assisted 

 in the building of various parts of the apparatus connected with the respiration 

 calorimeter, and was very familiar with the running of all its parts, and there- 

 fore the sensation of novelty was absent. He was somewhat more active while 

 inside the chamber than the previous subject. 



The pulse records as taken by the subject were at 8 h 45 m a. m., 83 ; ll h 20 m 

 a. m., 67 ; l h 18 m p. m., 66 ; 3 h 15 m p. m., 67. The sublingual body-temperatures 

 were at 9 h 16 m a. m., 98.3 F.; ll h 16 m a. m., 97.7 F.; l h 16 m p. m., 98.3 F.; 

 3 h 16 m p. m., 97.8 F. The results of the metabolism obtained in this experi- 

 ment are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 117. 



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

 experiment No. 116.) 



For breakfast the subject ate a dish of prepared cereal with cream and sugar, 

 baked beans, bread and butter, and coffee with cream. He was weighed at 

 8 h 19 m a. m., and the experiment proper began at 9 h 17 m a. m. At this time 

 the subject went to the food aperture and placed the thermometer in as usual, 

 and also took out a bottle of water, part of which he drank immediately. At 

 9 h 46 m a. m. he again went to the food aperture and took out some writing 

 materials, after which he sat down. At 11 a. m. he passed urine and then sat 

 down. Between ll h 17 m a. m. and ll h 52 m a. m., he went to the food aperture 

 five times. At ll h 54 m a. m. he passed urine and then sat down. The subject 

 opened the food aperture twice at 12 noon and again at 12 h 16 m p. m. During 

 part of the time from ll h 32 m a. m. he had been eating his lunch, which he 

 had taken from the food aperture. After l h 17 m p. m. he went to the food 

 aperture several times, and at l h 46 m p. m., passed urine. At 2 h 18 m p. m. the 

 subject went to the food aperture again, and at 2 h 52 m p. m. passed urine. The 

 experiment was finished at 3 h 17 m p. m. The lunch eaten by the subject con-
