    In Experiment V. a meal was taken which in proportion to the habits and body weight of the subject was a heavy one. The increase in urea was great and the proportionate amount of uric acid somewhat low throughout, but although the excretion was not followed after the 8th hour the characteristic precedence of the latter constituent is well seen. Exp. V. (H. N. April 4, 1897.) Abstained from 8 p.m. April 3. Between 1 and 1.30 p.m. April 4, took 280 grms. cooked lean beef, and 150 grms. bread. 100 c.c. of water was drunk during each hour of the experiment. Hour Quantity of urine in c.c. Urea in grms. Uric acid in milligrms.
