DETAILS OR DIGESTION EXPERIMENT NO. 80. 



This experiment formed the preliminary period to the series of metabolism experiments New. 

 15-17. It began with breakfast January 12, 1899, and continued 1 days. The subject. E. O.. as 

 in previous experiments here reported, was engaged in very light work about the laboratory. 

 His weight at the end of the study, without clothing, was 70.9 kilograms (1.50 pounds). The 

 alcohol during this period was taken in the form of commercial alcohol in sweetened coffee infusion, 

 as in metabolism experiment No. 15. In metabolism experiment No. 16 the alcohol was taken in 

 the form of whisky, and in No. 17 in the form of brandy. 



DETAILS OF DIGESTION EXPERIMENT NO. 81. 



This experiment, which formed a part of the series of metabolism experiments Nos. 15, 16, 

 and 17, began with breakfast January 16, 1899, and continued 6 days. The subject, E. O., 

 weighed, without clothing. 70.9 kilograms at the beginning and 70.1 kilograms (151.5 pounds) at
