This graph shows the weight results obtained by feeding two mice A I & 2 and 

 B 1 & 2 with daily rations as follows : 



A 



BArs 



Oats 2 - oo 



Plasmon '49 



Glucose '15 



Water 3*36 



Grammes. 

 A I & 2 B 1 & 2 



2 , oo 

 none ("42 somatose omitted) 

 •22 

 3-36 



6 - oo 



5-58 



These experiments were made to find whether mice B 1 & 2 would thrive better 

 without somatose, the other constituents of the ration shown in graph Fig. 1 being 

 left in ; for comparison the ration given to mice A 1 & 2 were as shown in graph 

 Fig. r (mice 5 & 6). The nitrogen content of '49 gram, of Plasmon being the same 

 as '416 gram, of somatose which was left out or of 2 grams, of lean raw beef. 



These results show that the food value of somatose was less than nothing as the 

 mice thrived better without it.
