48 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



calorimeter experiments. He stated in his observations that during the first 

 period his head was a little heavy and warm, but otherwise he was quite com- 

 fortable. He noticed the noise of the blower, and said the air was all right. 

 At l h 34 m p. m. he stated the air did not seem as pure as it was before. At 

 2 h 30 m p. m. he said he felt warm and the air was not as good. At 3 h 04 m p. m. 

 he stated his eyes were tired but he was not sleepy. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: 8 h 24 m a.m., 77; 

 8 h 50 m a. m., 81 ; 10 h 10 m a. m., 72 ; 10 h 49 m a. m., 60 ; 10 h 51 m a. m., 65 ; 10 h 54 m 

 a. m., 64 ; ll h 32 m a. m., 61 ; 12 h 38 m p. m., 75 ; l h 06 m p. m., 67 ; l h 33 m p. m., 

 70; l h 55 m p. m., 75 ; 2 h 28 m p. m., 75 ; 3 h 03 m p. m., 72 ; 3 h 33 m p. m., 67. The 

 sublingual body-temperatures were at 9 h 43 m a.m., 98.6 F. ; ll h 43 m a.m., 

 98.2 F.; l h 43 m p.m., 98.4 F.; 3 h 43 m p.m., 98.4 F. The results of the 

 metabolism for the experiment, as measured in three 2-hour periods, are given 

 in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 124. 



Subject, W. H. L., June 6, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 123.) 



Before entering the calorimeter, the subject ate a breakfast consisting of 

 prepared cereal with sugar and cream, 1 slice of bread and butter, and 1 cruller. 

 He was weighed at 8 h 08 m a. m. and the experiment began at 9 h 07 m a. m. The 

 usual routine in taking the body-temperature was followed at the beginning 

 of each period. At the beginning of the first period the subject rose, went to 

 the food aperture, put the thermometer in, then sat down and read until 

 9 h 34 m a, m., when he again went to the food aperture. He then sat down 

 and resumed reading and read until the beginning of the next period, ll h 07 

 a. m., when he again went to the food aperture to get the thermometer. In 

 doing so he upset the table. The rearrangement of the furniture necessitated 

 a considerable number of movements, after which he again sat down and took 

 his pulse, and then rose and passed urine. At 12 h 14 m p. m. he went to the 

 food apertiire and received his lunch. In doing this he opened the food aper- 

 ture four times. He began to eat at 12 h 28 m p. m. and had finished at 12 h 50 m 

 p. m. The lunch eaten by the subject consisted of 60 grams of milk, 44 grams 

 of sugar, 45 grams of crackers, 152 grams of strawberries, 47 grams of sand- 

 wich, and 66 c. c. of water. Between l h 25 and l h 45 m p. m. the subject rose 

 three times and went to the food aperture and sent out from the chamber 

 dishes and food from his lunch, then passed urine, and sat down. At 2 h 06 m 

 p. m. he ate a few strawberries. He then continued reading until the end of the 

 experiment at 3 h 07 m p. m. The subject passed 519 grams of urine during the 

 experiment. He reported that he was very comfortable throughout the experi- * 

 ment, although his head became tired during the latter part, which was due, 

 he thought, to reading. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 9 h 01 m a. m., 70 ; 

 10" 08 m a. m., 59; 10 h ll m a.m., 62; ll h 17 m a.m., 61; 12 h 26 m p.m., 65;
