DAILY MEDICAL AND CLINICAL NOTES. 

 INDIVIDUAL DATA. 



As in the previous investigations, the young men were selected 

 from a number of volunteers and were required to subscribe to the 

 pledges described in Part I. a The members of the table were sub- 

 jected to careful examination throughout the course of the experi- 

 ments for the purpose of recording the medical data which are 

 presented in the following pages by periods and subperiods. 



No. l.C. W. N. 



No. 1 of this series began the fore period with all functions in nor- 

 mal condition. His recorded temperature on the first day was 

 98.4, pulse beats 78 per minute, and weight 68.5 kilograms. This 

 normal condition continued throughout the first subperiod, the tem- 

 perature ranging from 98.3 to 98.6, and the pulse being constant 

 for the last four days at 66 beats per minute. His body weight on 

 the last day of this subperiod was 68.5 and the average weight for the 

 five days was 68.44 kilograms. 



On the first day of the second subperiod No. 1's temperature and 

 pulse were normal, being 98.4 and 66 beats, respectively, and weight 

 68.5 kilograms. .On the second day a slight febrile condition existed, 

 his temperature registering 99 and pulse 84. This condition dis- 

 appeared, however, by the following day, and for the remainder of 

 the period his pulse and temperature were normal, but the weight 

 had decreased during the period, 68 kilograms being recorded for 

 the last day, while 68.25 kilograms represented the average weight 

 for the second subperiod of the fore period. The average weight for 

 the entire fore period is 68.34 kilograms. 



The clinical examination of the urine during the fore period 

 showed the kidneys to be in normal condition, no albumin or casts 

 present. The general condition of the subject was good. 



The same normal condition prevailed at the beginning of the first 

 preservative subperiod and continued till the last day of the sub- 

 period, when he complained of pain in the stomach and frequent 

 urinations; his temperature and pulse for this day, February 15, 

 were normal. The body weight had slightly increased, as com- 

 pared with that of the last day of the fore period, the average for 

 the subperiod being 68.31 kilograms. 



In the second preservative subperiod the subject complained at 

 intervals of pains in the stomach, particularly after meals, his tem- 

 perature and pulse were still normal, and the body weight had 

 steadily increased, giving an average of 68.44 kilograms for the 

 subperiod.
