46 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



438 grams of milk. During the experiment the subject passed 530 grams of 

 urine. The subject made no comments regarding the experiment. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: 10 h 13 m a. m., 68; 

 10 h 50 m a. m., 60 ; ll h 45 m a. m., 59 ; l h 10 m p. m., 65 ; 2 p. m., 70 ; 3 p. m., 68 ; 

 3 h 45 m p. m., 67. The body-temperatures taken sublingually with a clinical 

 thermometer were as follows : 10 h 30 m a. m., 98.1 F. ; 12 h 30 m p. m., 98.5 F. ; 

 2 h 30 m p.m., 98.3 F. ; 4 h 30 m p.m., 98.5 F. The results of the metabolism 

 are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 121. 



Subject, F. L. T., May 1, 1905. Age, 25 years 7 months; 

 height, 192 cm.; weight without clothing, 64.3 kilos. 



The subject entered the chamber at about 8 a. m. and was weighed at 8 h 17 m 

 a. m. Shortly before entering the chamber he partook of a breakfast con- 

 sisting of potatoes, beef, bread and butter, and coffee with milk and sugar. 

 The experiment began at 9 h 23 m a. m. At the beginning of the first period the 

 subject went to the food aperture, took out a bottle of water, and then re- 

 turned to his chair. At the beginning of the second period, ll h 23 m a. m., he 

 went to the food aperture and opened it three times. At 12 h 16 m p. m. he 

 rose and then began eating his lunch, which consisted of 467 grams of milk, 

 414 grams of oranges, 97 grams of crackers, and 73 grams of nuts; he finished 

 at 12 h 36 m p. m. At that time he rose, passed 188 grams of urine and sat 

 down again. At the latter part of this period he ate an orange and some nuts. 

 At the beginning of each period the subject went through the usual routine in 

 taking his temperature. The experiment ended at 3 h 23 m p. m., the measure- 

 ments being taken in 2-hour periods. The subject drank 136 c. c. of water. 

 The subject was a student in Wesleyan University, was entirely unfamiliar with 

 the apparatus or any of its experiments, and was selected for this experiment 

 because of his being above the average height. He made very little comment 

 regarding his stay in the chamber, except to say that the air was good and the 

 temperature comfortable, and that at first he was annoyed by the noise of the 

 rotary blower. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: 9 h ll m a.m., 75; 

 10 a.m., 61; 10 h 45 m a.m., 55; ll h 30 m a.m., 58; 12 h 15 ra p.m., 56; 1 p.m., 

 78 ; l h 45 m p. m., 66 ; 2 h 30 m p. m., 64 ; 3 h 15 m p. m., 61. The sublingual body- 

 temperatures were at 9 h 23 m a.m., 98.4 F. ; ll h 23 m a.m., 97.8 F.; l h 23 m 

 p. m., 98.2 F. ; 3 h 23 m p. m., 98.0 F. The results of the metabolism for the 

 experiment are given in table 44.
