The determinations of alcohol in urine :m<l freezer water and of reducing material reckoned 



a> alcohol in the air current were made in the usual manner, and the results are given in Table 

 LNN. [t will be observed that there was an elimination of reducing material equivalent to an 

 average of 0.32 gram of alcohol per day on the 6 days of experiments Nos. 26 and 28. This 

 amount has been deducted front the values obtained in experiment No. 27. and the difference is 

 taken as a measure of the alcohol excreted unoxidized. It will likewise lie observed that there 

 is here no indication whatever of any lay in the elimination of alcohol from the body as was 

 apparently indicated by the results obtained in experiments Nos. 18-20.
