units (137 X 2. i X.9 = 258.9). (b) An electric-light bath was administered (1891) to ayoung man aged 22, weight 145 lbs. The subjects tempera-ture was normal at the beginning of the experiment, and was raisedby the bath in five and one-half minutes 1.6° F. (mouth). Thesurface temperature was elevated during the same period 2.3° F. Experiment 47.— Showing the effects of the hot immersion bath onthe body temperature (page IS^)- The subject, W. E. P., was a young man aged 35, weight 120lbs. He was placed in a full bath at 104° for thirty minutes.The initial body temperature was, mouth, 98.7°; rectal, 99.6°. Atthe end of the experiment, the mouth temperature was found tobe 102.3°; ^^^ the rectal temperature, 102.8°, an increase of 3.2°,representing 345.6 heat units (120X3.2 X .9 = 345.6). The amountof heat normally produced in thirty minutes would be 216 heatunits (7.2X30 = 216). This leaves 129.7 heat units to be ac-counted for by absorption or increased heat production. Some

All general applications which interfere with heat eliminationat the ordinary rate, produce similar results. Experiment 48.— SJiotvitig tJie effect on body teviperature of a bathat the teviperature of the body (page isg). The subject, W. E. P., was a man aged 35, weight 120lbs. The body temperature determined just before the experimentwas, mouth, 98.5°; rectal, 101.2°. The subject was placed in animmersion bath at 100° for one hour. The mouth temperaturewas then found to be 101.9°; the rectal, 101.8°. Experiment 49.-—Showing the effect of dry friction upon the surfacetemperature (page 166). Friction with the dry shampoo brush was administered for thirtyminutes to
