SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF INDIVIDUAL EXPERIMENTS. 
In Table 143. below, are summarized the results of the experiments 
made with the respiration calorimeter which have been thus far 
reported by this Department. a The table shows the balance of income 
and outgo of nitrogen, carbon, and energy, as well as the computed 
gain or loss of body protein and fat. 
'During the interval between the first and last of the experiments here reported 
nine experiments were carried on under the auspices of the Committee of Fifty for 
the Investigation of the Drink Problem in connection with an independent investi- 
gation concerning the effect of alcohol in the diet. For convenience in keeping labo- 
ratory records all the experiments were numbered consecutively. These experi- 
ments, in which alcohol formed a part of the diet, comprised Xos. 7, 10, 12, 15-20, 
22, 27, 30, and 33. The details of the first two were published in U. S. Dept. 
Alt.. Office of Experiment Stations Bui. 69; those of the remaining eleven will be 
found in the Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences. Vol. VIII, Sixth 
Memoir, entitled An Experimental Inquiry into the Nutritive Value of Alcohol,
