52 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 9 h 51 m a. m., 66 ; 

 10 h 47 m a. m., 62 ; ll h 48 m a. m., 56 ; l h 01 m p. m., 61 ; 2 p. m., 66 ; 3 h 17 ra p. m., 

 62. The sublingual body-temperatures were as follows: 9 h 42 m a. m., 97.8 F. ; 

 ll h 42 m a.m., 97.8 F.; l h 42 ra p.m., 97.9 F.; 3 h 42 m p.m., 97.8 F. The 

 results of the metabolism in the experiment are recorded in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 130. 



Subject, H. L. K., June 10, 1905. Age, 23 years 8 months; 

 height, 166 cm.; weight without clothing, 55.4 kilos. 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at about 7 h 30 m a. m., after 

 eating a breakfast consisting of 1 banana, 6 tablespoonfuls of prepared cereal 

 with cream, 1 egg, 1 biscuit, 1 doughnut, and 1 cup of coffee with cream and 

 sugar. He was weighed at 7 h 39 m a. m. and the experiment began at 8 h 39 m 

 a. m. The subject in this experiment followed the usual routine of going to 

 the food aperture at the beginning of each period in order to get a clinical 

 thermometer to take his temperature and returning the thermometer after 

 using it. He went to the food aperture at 9 h 14 m a. m. to put in some letters. 

 At ll h 32 m a. m. he rose from his chair and went to the food aperture and 

 opened it four times in getting his lunch ; each time after opening the food 

 aperture he went to the front of the chamber, then returned, and finally sat 

 down at ll h 40 m a. m. At this time he began his lunch, eating 220 grams of 

 bananas, 92 grams of crackers, 107 grams of cream, and 316 grams of milk, 

 finishing at 12 h 04 m p. m. At 12 h 40 m p. m. the subject passed 285 grams of 

 urine and placed the uneaten portion of his lunch in the food aperture. At 

 l h 30 m p. m. he again went to the food aperture for some paper. The experi- 

 ment ended at 2 h 39 m p. m. 



This subject, who was connected with the investigations as an editorial assist- 

 ant, had been in two previous experiments 1 and said that during this experiment 

 the air seemed warm and close at the beginning, and that he was nervous, but 

 that this was not due to the experiment itself. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows: 7 h 48 m a. m., 101; 

 8 a. m., 100 ; 8 h 15 m a. m., 94 ; 8 h 30 m a. m., 98 ; 9 h 10 m a. m., 100 ; 9 h 30 m a. m., 

 89; 10 h 10 m a. m., 83; 10 h 35 m a.m., 78; 11 a.m., 66; ll h 30 m a.m., 73; 

 12 h 15 m p. m., 75 ; 12 h 53 m p. m., 76 ; l h 30 m p. m., 90 ; 2 h 10 m p. m., 83. The 

 sublingual body-temperatures were as follows: 8 h 39 m a.m., 98.6 F. ; 10 h 39 m 

 a.m., 98.5 F.; 12 h 39 m p.m., 98.8 F. ; 2 h 39 m p.m., 98.9 F. The results 

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



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 131. 



Subject, H. A. P., June 12, 1905. Age, 27 years; height, 

 180 cm.; weight without clothing, 63.9 kilos. 



The subject ate breakfast, which consisted of bread and butter and coffee, and 

 soon after this meal he entered the respiration chamber. He was weighed at
