RELATIVE VALUES OF FEEDING STUFFS 



629 



Tangl, 1 in a number of experiments upon four different horses, 

 found that when watered before drinking, the consumption of water 

 was irregular and was less than when they were watered during or 

 after feeding, and that the corresponding digestibility was also less 

 in nearly every case. Suggestive in this connection are the results of 

 Foster and Lambert, 2 who found that in the dog a restricted supply of 

 water tended to decrease the secretion of gastric juice. The fore- 

 going results on animals seem to be in general accord with those of 

 Hawk's extensive studies on the effects of water drinking in man.
