 [During the whole period of 121 days, from November 21st, 1865, to March 

 21st, 1866, inclusive, this diet was rigorously adhered to with the slight excep- 

 tions noted on March 17th, 18th, 20th, and 21st, when the action of digitalin as 

 an irritant to the stomach and as a powerful diuretic lessened appetite and 

 caused thirst. 



The urine was passed into a small bottle which was afterwards emptied into 

 a Winchester flask. From this specimens of the mixed urine of 24 hours 

 were taken for analysis.]
