\ Chemical View An average man
of $50 pounds contains the constituents
found in 200 eggs. There is enough
gas in him to fill a gasometer of 3.649
cubic feet. He contains enough iron
to make four ten-penny nails. His
fat would make IS candles and a good
sized cake of soap. His phosphate
content would make S,064 boxes of
matches. There is enough hydrogen
in him in combination to fill balloon
and carry him above the clouds. The
remaining constituents of a man
would yield, if utilized, six teaspoons
