METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 119. 



Subject, B. N., June 5, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 118.) 



Before entering the respiration chamber the subject ate a light breakfast 

 consisting of oatmeal, coffee, and crackers. He was weighed at 9 h 12 a.m. 

 and the first period began at 10 h 22 a, m. The subject then placed the clinical 

 thermometer in the food aperture and sat down and read, remaining quiet 

 until 12 h 22 p. m., when he again went to the food aperture and procured the 

 materials for his lunch. At 12 h 34 p. m. he began eating and finished at 

 12 h 48 p. m. At that time he rose from his chair and placed the uneaten 

 food on the shelf inside the chamber. He returned to his chair and sat quietly 

 until 2 h 22 p. m., when he went to the food aperture and placed the remainder 

 of his lunch in it. He then sat down and remained quiet until the end of 

 the experiment at 4 h 22 p. in. At the beginning of each period he followed 

 the same routine in taking his temperature, opening the food aperture to get 

 the thermometer, sitting down while taking the temperature, opening food 

 aperture to replace the thermometer, and sitting down again. 



The subject's lunch consisted of oranges, sandwiches, bananas, and dates, 

 the total food eaten being 605 grams. He also drank 205 c. c. of water with 

 his lunch. During the experiment 225 grams of urine were passed. This was 

 the subject's second experiment inside the respiration chamber and no com- 

 ments were made by him. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: 10 a.m., 58; 

 10 h 50 a. m., 58 ; ll h 45 a. m., 59 ; 12 h 50 p. m., 59 ; 2 p. m., 61 ; 3 p. m., 71 ; 

 3 h 40 p. m., 61 ; 4 h 20 p. m., 61. The sublingual body-temperatures were at 

 10 h 22 a. m., 97.8 F. ; 12 h 22 p. m., 97.6 F. ; 2 h 22 p. m., 98.1 F. ; 4 h 22 

 p. m., 97.6 F. The results of the metabolism for the three 2-hour periods are 

 given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 120. 



Subject, B. N., June 15, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 118.) 



Breakfast was eaten between 6 a. m. and 7 a. m. and consisted of oatmeal, 

 egg, coffee, and a piece of cake. The subject entered the respiration chamber 

 at about 9 a. m., was weighed at 9 h 05 a. m., and the experiment proper began 

 at 10 h 30 a. m. The usual routine of taking the temperature was followed 

 at the beginning of each period. At 12 h 30 p. m., in addition to this routine, 

 the subject received his lunch and in doing this opened the food aperture 

 several times. He began eating at 12 h 42 p. m. and finished at 12 h 50 p. m., 

 at which time he put the remainder into the food aperture. The subject re- 

 mained quiet until the end of the experiment at 4 h 30 p. m., except when 

 taking the thermometer from the food aperture at 2 h 30 p. m., and replacing 

 it. The lunch consisted of 58 grams of crackers, 309 grams of bananas, and
