SUMMARY FOR NINE MEN (NOS. 3, 9, AND 10 EXCLUDED). 



WEIGHT AND WATER CONTENT OF THE FECES. 



In Table VII are given the data respecting the weight and water 

 content of the f eces for the individuals by periods, together with a 

 summary of the data for the nine men compared throughout the series. 



In the case of No. 1 the average content of water in the feces in the 

 preservative period is markedly less than in the fore period, and there 

 is a still further diminution in the after period. No. 2 also shows 

 a diminution in the percentage of water in the feces in the preserva- 

 tive period, but this is restored in the after period to almost the 

 same content as at the beginning. The weight of the dry feces is less 

 both in the preservative period and in the after period than in the 

 fore period, while in the case of No. 1 the weight of the dry feces is 

 slightly less in the preservative period and greater in the after period. 

 The percentage of water in the feces of No. 3 is greater in the preserva- 

 tive period than in either of the other periods. The actual weight 

 of the dry feces is also greater. No. 4 shows a diminution in the 

 percentage of water in the feces and a slight decrease in weight in 

 the preservative period, and almost the same rate of diminution is 

 continued in the after period. In No. 5 a like condition obtains as in 

 the case of No. 4, but to a somewhat greater degree. In No. 6 there 

 is also a slight diminution in the percentage of water, attended with a 

 slight decrease in the dry weight, and these conditions continue in an 

 increased degree in the after period. In No. 7 there is a marked 

 decrease in the percentage of water in the feces in the preservative 

 period, while in the after period there is a partial restoration to the 

 condition of the fore period. There is a marked diminution in the 

 weight of the dry feces in the preservative period, and the dry weight 

 is greater in the after period than in the fore period. No. 8 also shows 

 a diminution in the percentage of water in the feces in the preserva- 

 tive period, but an increase in the dry weight. In the after period 

 the percentage of water is higher than in the fore period, and the dry 

 weight is greater than in the preservative period and the fore period. 

 In No. 9 there is also an increase in the percentage of water in the 

 feces, and a marked increase in the weight in the preservative period.
