PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS. 



[anno 1743. 



figures are placed in the upper part of the column, that excretion was in the 

 morning; when in the middle or lower part of the column, then it was in the 

 middle of the day, or in the night before bed-time. Where ], 2, or 3, occur 

 in a column, they express the number of stools that day, as in July 6, there 

 were 3 stools. The figures placed in all the rest of the columns, are in oz. and 

 decimals : the calculations he made with a 2-foot sliding Gunter's scale. In 

 the column urina 24 horarum, is the urine of 24 hours calculated each day. 



In the column viginti quatuor horarum excreta, is the whole quantity excreted 

 in 24 hours, which is found out by adding together the stools, and the urine 

 and perspiration of 24 hours by calculation ; whence the exact quantity retained, 

 or e contra, in every 24 hours, appear in the succeeding 2 columns. By these 

 tedious calculations, he endeavoured, as much as possible, to prepare the tables 

 for use, that just deductions may more easily be drawn from them. In the 

 columns ciborum quantit. et potulentorum quantit. the quantities are in oz. and 

 drs. The weights he used are 60 grs. = I dr. 8 dr. = 1 oz. 16 oz. := ] lb. 



Tabula prima exhibet ciborum et potulentorum quantitatem uncialem etdenariam, itemque ex- 

 cretorum quorumvis summam in diebus omni mense memoratis, in quibus statica feci experimenta ; 

 unde incrementum et diminutio ponderis humani per totum annum abunde patet.
