On reference to the Table we observe that during the period of preliminary observation
the assimilated Nitrogen was 11.51 per cent. of the total amount ingested; in the latent period
this increased to 21.60 per cent., but in the massed paroxysmal and periods of intermission
little or no Nitrogen was utilized at all. During the whole period the case lasted the
Nitrogen assimilated was only 5.87 per cent.
