To sum up, it may be contended that nutrient 

 enemata in both cases seemed to yield the body a small 

 but very inadequate quantity both of protein and 

 carbohydrate, but much more extensive observations 

 are called for. It would be best to analyse the urinary 

 nitrogen by Kjeldahl's method, which is of course a 

 lengthy procedure. 



NOTE. Since the above was written, Langdon-Brown 

 has contributed some important analyses showing how 

 little nitrogen can be absorbed from nutrient enemata.
