 period. 



In the first after subperiod No. 11 reported normal condition with 

 the exception of one day when a slight cold was noted. Tempera- 

 ture and pulse were normal; the body weight 66.70 kilograms. 



On the second day of the second after subperiod he complained of 

 of pains in the region of the kidneys all the afternoon. The tem- 

 perature registered 99 F., pulse normal. He reported himself as 

 normal on the third day, March 9, but on the fourth day of the period, 

 March 10, he became nauseated during the evening and night and 

 after breakfast of the last day vomited most of the meal. He felt 

 some better at dinner, but could not eat his allowance. His tempera- 

 ture and pulse, however, for these days were normal. This condition 

 lasted one or two days after the observation closed, when the sub-
