 It is formed upon the amount of the fermentation of the 

 feces. The patient is given daily 1560 gm. milk, four 

 eggs, three pieces ( ico gm. ) of zwieback, a plate of 

 oatmeal-soup (40 gm. ), with 10 gm. of sugar, a plate 

 of flour soup made with 25 gm. of wheat flour and 10 

 . gm. of sugar, and one cup of bouillon; 120 gm. of 

 potatoes are also given. A small amount (0.3 gm.) 

 of carmin is given to color and designate the first stool 

 to be examined. A small portion of the stool is dried 

 to constant weight and weighed. It is then mixed 

 with water and placed in a fermentation tube and kept 

 at 37 C. Fermentation with the evolution of gases 

 sets in and is divided into an early and a late fermenta- 

 tion. Early fermentation occurs during the first 24 or 

 48 hours. Later fermentation begins slowly on the 

 second or third day. In the early fermentation it is the 

 starch that is acted upon, while in the late it is the 

 albuminous cellulose materials. Early fermentation can 

 be considered as present only when in the first 24 hours 

 an evident amount of gas is formed. Normally after 



the diet described there should be no such fermentation. 

 Its occurrence indicates faulty starch digestion and an 

 abnormal condition of the bowels, especially of the 

 small intestines.
