PART 2. STATISTICS OF EXPERIMENTS. 



The experiments for which data are reported in this publication were made 

 with 51 different subjects. Statistics of the age, height, and weight of these 

 subjects are presented in summary form in table 1, the age being for the time 

 as near as practicable to the average date of the experiments with each indi- 

 vidual, and the weight being the average without clothing in each case. The 

 actual weights of any subject may vary within considerable limits, according 

 to the number of experiments and the lapse of time between experiments.

METABOLISM EXPERIMENT No. 101. 



Subject, H. F., March 23-25, 1903. Age, 53 years; height, 

 168 cm.; weight without clothing, 71.7 kilos. 



The subject of this experiment was a man whose dietetic habits had at- 

 tracted much attention and whose continued practice of excessive mastication 

 had, he believed, resulted in a greatly increased economy in the use of food 

 in the body. As a result of his peculiar dietetic customs, this subject believed 

 he could exist on a much smaller amount of nitrogenous material, as well as 

 of total food, than was consumed by an ordinary man of like body-weight and 

 muscular activity. These impressions were at that time partly substantiated
