136 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
No. 184. DIETARY OF A MAN IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUN- 
TAINS IN WINTER. 
The study commenced February 1, 1897, and continued forty-two days, 
during which time 126 meals were eaten. The subject, a consumptive, was 
obliged to live permanently in the Adirondacks. He had been ill, at the time 
of the study, nearly seven years, during which period he had so far gotten the 
better of his disease that, except for inability to undergo hardships or heavy 
labor, his food consumption might be regarded as that of a man in ordinary 
health. His weight was 148 pounds. This is the same subject whose dietary 
in midwinter appeared in the Report of the Station for 1896 as No. 175. 
For a further description of the circumstances attending the study, see 
pages 133-135.
