28 Fisher — Jlie Effect of Diet on Endurance. 



with walking or driving tlic l)all. Soreness wholly gone at present 

 writing, no touch of it noticeable anywhere. 



(R) The outcome of the last endurance test was about the same 

 as the one held January 14, 1906. I was feai'fully sore for about one 

 week, reaching the climax at the middle of the week. 



(T) '{''hroughout the test I passed from one event to another 

 with much shorter periods between than I did in January. With the 

 exception of lying on my back and raising my feet, I at no time ap- 

 proached as near exhaustion as I did in Januar3% In Januar}^, in rising 

 on my toes and in the deep knee-bending, I continued till I fell to 

 the floor. I was not exhausted at the close [of the June test], but 

 marked papers for 2^ hours before going to bed. Sunday I scarcely 

 felt anj^ the worse, though my muscles felt a little queer when I poked 

 my finger into them. Monday m^^ leg muscles were a little stiff 

 after a period of rest, but not painful in the least. My right shoulder 

 was a trifle lame, due wholly I think to hitting it once in a while in 

 the last test with the 10 and 5;lb. weights. My right arm at the 

 elbow was decidedly lame and would not admit of being completely 

 straightened, though it was undoubtedly better than in January. 

 By Tuesday all the other stiffness had practically left me except the 

 right elbow, which was, however, better. By Thursday I was unable 

 to detect any soreness whatever in any part. 



(W) May 31. After the test I felt fairly tired and ready to quit 

 — however, not nearly so exhausted as before in January. Could 

 walk down stairs with more confidence and could raise my supper to 

 my mouth much more easily than after the first test. . . . The 

 results certainly far surpassed any expectation I had, especially as 

 in the morning I did not feel quite as spry and active as usual, due 

 to a little unusual over-exertion the previous day. 



June 1. Sore in thighs and biceps, also felt my abdominal muscles. 



June 2. Expected to be much worse on this the second daj^, as in 

 January, but not so. About same as yesterday. Later in the day 

 could run up-stairs two steps at a time as I could yesterday— a thing 

 undreamed of in January for over a week after the test. 



June 3. Felt pretty well today, much improved over yesterday, 

 still felt my thighs in walking down hill or down stairs, but not 

 nearly as bad as yesterday. 



June 4. Feel my thighs only very little, other muscles not felt at 

 all. Rode a bic^^cle 5^ miles ; did not feel it. 



•Tune 5. Seem to be all well, haven't noticed a soreness all day.
