54 Metabolism of Healthy Man. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 8 h 32 m a. m., 104 ; 

 9 h 30 m a. m., 95 ; 10 h 45 m a. m., 88 ; ll h 30 m a. m., 83 ; 12 h 50 ra p. m., 84 ; l h 43 m 

 p. m., 77 ; l h 45 m p. m., 78 ; 2 h 32 m p. m., 77. The sublingual body-temperatures 

 were 9 h 10 m a.m., 98.5 F.; ll h 10 m a.m., 98.3 F.; l h 10 m p.m., 98.0 P.; 

 3 h 10 m p.m., 97.5 F. The results of the metabolism in the experiment are 

 given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 133. 



Subject, W. E. D., June 14, 1905. Age, 20 years 4 months; 

 height, 179 cm.; weight without clothing, 74.4 kilos. 



Before entering the respiration calorimeter the subject had a breakfast, 

 consisting of oatmeal with milk and sugar, whole-wheat gems with butter, a 

 potato cake, and water. He was weighed at 8 h 15 m a. m. and the experiment 

 began at 9 h 22 m a. m. The subject at that time took his temperature, subse- 

 quently putting the thermometer in the food aperture, and the usual routine 

 in taking body-temperature was carried out at the beginning of each period. 

 At ll h 48 m a. m. he went to the food aperture, took out his lunch and com- 

 menced eating at ll h 50 m a. m. He again opened the food aperture at ll h 58 m 

 a. m. to procure more food, and stopped eating at 12 h 14 m p. m. The food 

 eaten during the experiment consisted of 120 grams of milk, 120 grams of 

 crackers, 53 grams of cheese, 401 grams of oranges, and 101 c. c. of water. 

 At 12 h 40 m p. m. he ate one of the oranges from his lunch. At l h 42 m p. m. 

 he ate another orange, and at 2 h 14 m p. m. passed out the uneaten portion of 

 his lunch. At 3 h 22 m p. m. the experiment ended. The subject passed 228 

 grams of urine during the experiment. 



This experiment was the first with this subject, who was a student in Wes- 

 leyan University and also assisted in the respiration-calorimeter experiments. 

 He made no comments regarding his experience. 



The pulse-rate as recorded by the subject was as follows : 9 h 40 m a. m., 65 ; 

 ll h 30 m a.m., 55; l h 35 ra p.m., 58; 3 h 10 m p.m., 58. The sublingual body- 

 temperatures were at 9 h 22 m a.m., 98.3 F.; ll h 22 m a.m., 97.6 F.; l h 22 m 

 p. m., 98.4 F. ; 3 h 22 m p. m., 98.4 F. The results of the metabolism in this 

 experiment are given in table 44. 



METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 134. 



Subject, C. R. Y., October 4-5, 1905. Age, 19 years 9 months; 

 height, 170 cm.; weight without clothing, 64.5 kilos. 



The experiment was originally planned to study the metabolism during the 

 digestion of different kinds of cheese, and the diet consisted of cheese, bread, 

 and bananas. The experiment began at 1 p. m., October 4, although the sub- 

 ject had entered the respiration chamber previous to this some time during 

 the morning. The measurements were made in three 6-hour periods, the first 

 from 1 p. m. to 7 p. m., October 4 ; the second from 7 p. m., October 4, to 

 1 a. m., October 5 ; and the third from 1 a. m. to 7 h 10 m a. m., October 5. The 

 subject was a student in Wesleyan University.
