'The histories of three subjects are not included because the experimental sessions in which 

 they served were too few for statistical treatment with the group (Subjects I and V), or because it 

 proved impracticable to carry out the experimental program for some other reason (Subject XIII). 

 The last mentioned was a hard drinker who refused to give us non-alcohol or normal days. Th 

 first two broke oft the experiments to meet business engagements.
