Table ( 'XIII. — Details of diot sft'o?i experiment No. 8S (preliminary to and part of metabolism experiments Nos. 18-81). 



DETAILS OF DIGESTION EXPERIMENT NO. S3. 



This experiment began with breakfast March 9, 1899, and continued 4 days. It was 

 preliminary to the series of metabolism experiments Nos. 22—24, and was made with the same 

 subject, E. O.. who served in the majority of the digestion experiments here described. The 

 diet during the first 3 days contained no alcohol. On the last day 72.5 grams of absolute alcohol 

 were added in the form of commercial ethyl alcohol. The subject was engaged in his usual work 

 about the laboratory and performed very little manual labor. His weight, without clothing, 

 was 72 .4 kilograms (159.6 pounds) at the close of the experiment. 



DETAILS OF DIGESTION EXPERIMENT NO. 84. 



The experiment began with breakfast March 13, 1899, and continued 6 days, forming a part 

 of metabolism experiment Nos. 22 and 23, details of which are given above. Alcohol formed 

 a part of the diet on the first 3 days (metabolism experiment No. 22) while on the last 3 days 

 (metabolism experiment No. 23) only the basal ration was eaten. The subject. E. O., weighed, 

 without clothing, at the beginning of the experiment 72.4 kilograms and at the end 72.7 kilo- 

 grams (160.3 pounds). He had as little muscular activity during the series of experiments as was 

 practicable.
