8 h 13 m a. m. and then remained quiet until the beginning of the experiment at 

 9 h 44 m a. m. He followed the same routine as in previous experiments in regard 

 to taking his temperature, placing the thermometer in the food aperture each 

 time after using it. Soon after the beginning of the first period he passed 

 urine. At ll h 06 m a. m. he stood up and sat down again. At 12 h 05 m p. m. 

 he passed urine and then opened the food aperture to get his lunch. Between 

 12 h 10 m p. m. and 12 h 30 m p. m. he ate 188 grams of crackers and 452 grams 

 of milk, then moved about, and finally sat down. During the rest of the 

 experiment he was comparatively quiet, except for certain changes of position. 

 The experiment ended at 3 h 39 m p. m. During the experiment 3.44 grams of 

 urine were passed. 



The subject was an editorial assistant in the nutrition investigations, and 

 this was his first experience inside the respiration chamber. He said that most 

 of the time he was very uncomfortable and very cold, particularly around his 

 feet and ankles, and below his knees. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 9 h 30 m a. m., 95 ; 

 9 h 35 m a. m., 95 ; 10 h 30 m a. m., 87 ; 10 h 35 m a. m., 85 ; ll h 30 m a, m., 74 ; ll h 35 m 

 a. m., 74 ; 12 h 30 m p. m., 89 ; 12 h 35 ra p. m., 87 ; l h 30 m p. m., 86 ; l h 35 m p. m., 

 87 ; 2 h 35 m p. m., 81 ; 3 h 40 m p. m., 82. The sublingual body-temperatures taken 

 were 9 h 44 m a.m., 98.6 F. ; ll h 44 m 98.0 F.; l h 44 m p.m., 98.1 F. ; 3 h 44 m 

 p. m., 97.8 F. The measurements were made in three 2-hour periods and 

 the results of the metabolism are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 132. 



Subject, H. A. P., June 20, 1905. (Same subject as in 

 experiment No. 131.) 



The subject entered the respiration chamber at 8 a. m., having had a break- 

 fast shortly before, consisting of green peas, bread and butter, coffee, and ginger 

 cakes. He was weighed at 8 h 22 m a. m. and the experiment began at 9 h 10 m a. m. 

 The subject followed the routine of taking the temperature and replacing the 

 thermometer in the food aperture at the beginning of each period. At 10 h 50 m 

 a. m. he passed urine. Between ll h 42 m a. m. and ll h 56 m a. m. he went to the 

 food aperture four times in getting his lunch. The subject began eating at 

 12 o'clock and finished at 12 h 14 m p. m. At 12 h 44 m p. m. he went to the food 

 aperture and placed therein the dishes which he had used in eating his lunch. 

 The lunch consisted of 444 grams of milk and 181 grams of crackers. Between 

 2 h 18 m and 2 h 34 m p. m. the subject twice changed the position of his chair in 

 the chamber, and at 2 h 42 m p. m. he set up the table. At 2 h 44 m p. m. he passed 

 urine. At 3 b 10 m p. m. the experiment ended. During the experiment 440 

 grams of urine were passed. In his remarks he stated that he was dressed 

 somewhat more heavily than in the previous experiment, and that he perspired 

 some. He also said that some of the food did not taste well, but that possibly 

 this was due to imagination.
