APPENDIX. ANALYTICAL EVIDENCE. 85 



The faeces of a soldier weigh 5*5 oz., and contain, in the fresh state, 11 per cent, of 

 carbon. For 86 kreutzer (about 2s. 5d. sterling,) there may be bought, on an average, 

 172 Ibs. of vegetables, sucn as cabbages, greens, turnips, &c.; 25 maas of sour krout 

 weigh 100 Ibs. j and for 48^ kreutzer (Is. 5d. sterling,) there are brought, on an average, 

 24 Ibs. of onions, leeks, celery, &c.* 855 men consumed

For this reason, the carbon of the last mentioned articles of food has been assumed as 

 equal to that of the fasces and urine. Sausages, brandy, beer, in short, the small quantity 

 of food taken irregularly in the alehouse, has not been included in the calculation. 



The daily allowance of bread, being uniformly 2 Ibs. per man, with the exceptions 

 formerly mentioned, has not been inserted in "the table, which includes only those 

 matters of which, from the daily allowance being variable, an average was required. 

 The small quantity of bread in the table is that given in the soup, which is over and 

 above the daily supply.

TEMPERATURE OP THE BLOOD AND FREQUENCY OP THE PTJLSE. 



The temperature of a child is 102-2. 



The temperature of the human body, in the mouth or in the rectum, for example, is 

 from 97-7 to 98-6. That of the blood (Majendie) is from 100-6 to 101-6. As a mean 

 temperature, 99-5 has been adopted in this work, page 15. 



NOTE (6,) p. 20. 



The prisoners in the house of arrest of Giessen receive daily 1$ lb. of bread (24 oz.,') 

 which contain 7i oz. of carbon. They receive, besides, 1 Ib. of soup daily, and on each 

 alternate day, 1 Ib. of potatoes. 



1 Ib. of bread contains .... 7'25 oz. of carbon. 



1 Ib. of soup contains 0-75 ditto. 



i Ib. of potatoes contains . . . . 1-00 ditto. 



Total 9-00 ditto.f 



* In the original table, the quantities of these vegetables are entered according to their value in 

 Kreutzers, but they are here calculated by weight from the above data, as this appeared better 

 adapted for comparison in this country than the prices would have been. ED. 



t At page 36 the carbon contained in the dailyfood of these prisoners is calculated at 8 oz., and
