CALORIPIC VALUES OP THE RESPECTIVE EXTRACTS OP THE PECES 
(corn PODDER.) 
One gram of the alcoholic extract equals. 505 7 calories 
One gram of cold and hot water with malt equals. 2738 calories 
One gram of the 1% hydric chlorid extract equals. 506 9 calories 
One gram of the 1% sodic hydrate extract equals. 4507 calories 
One gram of the chlorin, etc., extract equals. 4304 calories 
One gram of the residue, cellulose, equals.3714 calories 
*W^e at first doubted this result, so another sample was started de novo 
and the determination repeated with the result that we obtained 38 91 
calories as the value of this residue.
