The practice of venesection, or blood-letting, is as old almost as tlie practice of medicine. History informs us that even as early as the time of Galen the employment of venesection was quite general. The withdrawal of blood was for many centuries looked upon as the most satisfactory remedy possessed by the practitioner, and indeed in a great number of diseases was con- sidered to be the only means of preserving life. The mere ques- tion of the withdrawal of blood was never debated, the amount being the only question to decide, as it was almost universally taken for granted that some blood must be drawn. Galen himself employed blood-letting to the point of syncope, and his principal treatment for fever was blood-letting and the application of cold. So great was the faith in the "Universal treatment," as it came to be called, that its domain of influence was expanded and came to include the realms of religion and superstition. The desire to do evil was supposedly dissipated by its magic ; and, if the vene- section were carried out at the proper time, astrologically, such de- sirable possessions as a retentive memory, a strong mind, etc., were said to be acquired. The withdrawal of blood was accom- plished by means of the leech, the cupping instrument, or by di- rect withdrawal from an opened vein (venesection), the individ- ual conditions as well as the amount of blood to be drawn gen- erally determining the metjiod. The universal practice of blood-letting has, however, long since passed, and although there are today certain diseased conditions in which loss of blood is supposed to possess curative power, the custom of blood-letting is practiced in much narrower limits than in the early centuries of its use. In the words of an eminent in- vestigator "The waste of blood of a not very distant past is, let us hope, gone forever." To-day the greatest losses of blood with which we have to deal occur either as the result of accident, in major surgical operations, or in a few maladies, such as gastric ulcer, which are accompanied by internal bleeding. The present investigation was undertaken with the accidental hemorrahge and the loss of blood incident to surgical procedure especially in mind. The variations in the metabolic activity as in- dicated by the composition of the urine was the principal point of observation, and the changes in the chemical composition of the blood was a secondary consideration. No study of the form ele- ments of the blood was made. It is evident that a loss of blood from any organism will cause an alteration in the physical and chemical composition of the resi- dual portion. It is further well understood that certain diseases are accompanied by changes in the blood. The nature of those alterations or changes (whether due directly to the reduction of the total blood or whether arising from an internal pathalogical state) and their effect upon the metabolic functions of the organ- ism are questions of great interest and importance. It was but natural that a method of treatment holding undisputed sway for so many hundred years, as did that of blood-letting, should, with the growth of the spirit of investigation, be made the subject of many scientific observations. As would naturally follow, many of these observations were upon human subjects, while lower ani- mals were the subject of other investigations. Observations of the first order were obviously almost entirely confined to diseased subjects. The field covered by investigations upon the effect of loss of blood as well as upon the influence of blood degeneration through pathalogical agencies is a field of great breadth, and while investigations of the second type cannot strictly be classed with our investigation, yet for a more complete survey of the en- tire subject we have included observations of that nature in our literary review. The work of previous investigators may be divided into three general classes and corresponding sub-groups : Class I. Observations upon the influence of the loss of blood as shown by direct experimentation upon lower animals. 1. Variations in the metabolic activities of the organism as shown by (a) Examination of the urine and determina- tion of the body weight. (b) Respiratory exchange. 2. Alterations in the number of red corpuscles or percentage of haemoglobin. 3. Change in the number of leucocytes. 4- Influence on respiration, nervous system, and body tem- perature. 5. Changes in the fibrin content, specific gravity, coagulation rate, and in tlie composition of the blood, serum, gases, etc. Class II. Observations upon the alterations in metabolic activ- ity and in blood composition resulting, in human subjects, from internal pathalogical conditions, (anaemia, leukaemia, chlorosis, leucocytosis, etc). Class III. Observations upon the influence of the loss of blood occurring pathalogically in human subjects, (gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, post-partum hemorrhage). Our own investigation would be classified under groups i (a) and 5 of the first class. Investigations having for their purpose the study of variations in the metabolic activities of the organism accompanying hemor- rhage as shown by extensive urine analyses are comparatively few in number. The work of Bauer^ is probably the most frequently quoted in this connection. His observations were upon well-nour- ished and fasting dogs, a single experiment being made upon each. A sheep hound weighing about 20kg. was the subject of the first form of experiment. This animal was fed a uniform daily diet until nitrogen equilibrium was attained, and was then subjected to a hemorrhage of 350-400 cc. of blood. Following this hemorrhage the variation in the proteid metabolism as shown by the nitrogen content of the urine was noted. The dog drank water "ad libitum." The urine of the preliminary period showed an average daily content of 16.6 grams of nitrogen. The hemor- rhage caused an increased output of nitrogen and the daily aver- age for the three days following was 20 grams, while the average for a period of five days was 18.9 grams. Thus the immediate eflfect of a loss of blood aggregating about 2% of the body weight of the animal was an increase of 10.2 grams of nitrogen in three days, and an increase of 11.5 grams in five days. From this point the rate of excretion of nitrogen fell rapidly, being slightly below normal at the end of the experiment. The volume of the urine increased somewhat after blood-letting, probably due to uncon- trolled water ingestion, while the animal also gained slightly in body weight. 8 Experiments on a fasting dog were also followed by a rise in the urine volume and in the nitrogen content. From the data the author concluded that the influence of the loss of blood was much greater in the well-nourished organism than in the organism in the fasting condition. As a "check" upon his results Bauer made three control experi- ments in which the customary operative steps were followed but no blood was drawn. These were on well-nourished dogs in a condition of nitrogen equilibrium and from them he concluded that the operation had no influence upon the execution of nitro- gen by the urine. Experiments along lines similar to those pursued by Bauer have been made by Jiirgensen,- Maltschewsky,^ and Ascoli and Draghi.* The general conclusions of Jiirgensen are the same as those of Bauer. He states that the increase in nitrogen in the case of the well-nourished animals is absolutely greater after loss of blood than in fasting animals, but that it is smaller in comparison with the quantity of proteid available. Jiirgensen's experiments are interesting but his failure to give his data for the control ex- periments upon dogs in a condition of nitrogen equilibrium is to be regretted. Fraenkel'^ takes exception to the conclusions of Bauer and Jiir- gensen, and claims that the increased proteid decomposition fol- lows the diminished oxygen supply, due to the lowering of the oxygen carrying power of the blood. This theory is not approved by v. Noorden,** Jiirgensen and others. Ascoli and Draghi, in observations upon bmman subjects and upon dogs, came to the conclusion that there was no increased nitrogen elimination following the loss of blood. The non-occur- ence of a rise in nitrogen after hemorrhage is based on the theory that the organism contains a certain reserve supply of blood which may be removed without detriment to the body (the "luxus blood" of Maragliano). Observations upon the variation in the respiratory exchange, after hemorrhage, have been made by Bauer, Lukjanow,'^ and Giirber.^ Experiments by Bauer in a respiration apparatus of the Voit model, using fasting dogs as subjects, showed the excretion of COo to be practically unchanged in the 12 hours following hemorrhage, while the oxygen absorption decreased about 15%. Forty-eight hours later the amounts of both CO- excreted and O absorbed had decreased greatly. In well-nourished dogs there was an increase of 4% in CO^ excreted during the first 12 hours after hemorrhage and an increase of 22^0 in the oxygen absorbed. After 24 hours the values for both CO^ and O sank appreciably. Bauer concluded that the decrease in CO^ excretion after hemor- rhage showed that the destruction of fat had decreased and point- ed to the storing of fat in anaemic and chlorotic patients as veri- fication. GiJrber, as a result of observations on well-nourished rabbits, drew the conclusion that the respiratory exchange w^as eiit'ected very little if any after hemorrhage, and that the variation when observed was in the form of an increase. Lukjanovv' investigated the eftect of oxygen inhalation after hemorrhage. Two experi- ments were made on rats and one on a dog. In every case one hour after the hemorrhage the absorption of oxygen was in- creased. Among the numerous observations upon the alteration in the number of red corpuscles or the percentage of haemoglobin fol- lowing hemorrhage those of Autokonenko,'' Baumann,"' Luzet,^^ X'ulpain.'- Hiinerfauth.^" Buntzen'* and v. Lesser" are of par- ticular interest. All of the experiments of Autokonenko were made on dogs. His animals w-ere always fed a constant diet be- tween 9 and TO A. M. and the operations occurred between 3 and 4 P. M. The author concluded that the number of leucocytes be- gan to increase from the first hour after blood-letting, the maxi- mum being reached at the end of the first day. The increase w^as principally in small leucocytes. If a second hemorrhage was in- duced when the leucocytes were still greatly increased a leucocy- tosis more prominent than the first, but of less duration, occurred. A third hemorrhage produced no further increase. Baumann in a series of very complete experiments on dogs observed a general deterioration in the blood and serum following hemorrhage, es- pecially in the former. The quantity of haemoglobin he found to be reduced 21%, the number of red corpuscles 14%, and the spe- cific gravity 1%, The solids, proteids and total nitrogen of the blood and serum underwent a decrease of about 12% each. The lO leucocytes were increased about 40%. Serum albumin was found to have been greatly increased at the expense of the serum globu- lin. Fibrin was increased and the coagulation rate shortened while the ash remained unchanged. Luzet, as the result of investigations on pigeons, found a de- crease in red corpuscles and haemoglobin and an accompanying leucocytosis. The work is of interest in indicating the similarity of post-hemorrhagic effects in man, lower animals and birds. The conclusions of Buntzen from experiments on dogs are interest- ing: — I. Red corpuscles decreased 5% in 10 minutes. 2. Dia- meter of red corpuscles decreased. 3. No increase in leucocytes. 4. Volume of blood restored in a few hours after a hemorrhage of 1-2% body weight. Loss of over 4% took over 24 hrs. to re- store. 5. Red corpuscles normal, after hemorrhage of 1.1% to- 4.4% of body weight, in 7 to 34 days. 6. Percentage of solids in the serum decreased from 11.5% to 10.1% in successive draw- ings. The failure of the author to observe any increase in leucocytes after hemorrhage is contradictory to nearly every authentic obser- vation. Hiinerfauth investigated the influence of "traumatic anaemia" in frogs, rabbits and dogs. The observations on frogs show that in an hour after a hemorrhage of less than 2% body weight a very noticeable decrease in the number of red cells was seen, and a lesser decrease in amount of haemoglobin. A strong leuco- cytosis also existed. Regeneration was shown to be slow in the frog. Regeneration in the frog was also studied by Vulpain, who found it to be much slower than in man and the lower animals. Six weeks after the hemorrhage the cells in the marrow destined to form new red corpuscles were small and totally colorless. Investigations of more or less value have been carried out by Lyon,^'' Bizzozero and Salvioli,^^ Monassein,^^ Tschudnowsky,^^ Rieder,^" and Hayem.-^ Bizzozero and Salvipli claim that a hem- orrhage of 1% body weight produced a decrease of 11.14% ii^ the haemoglobin and that this ratio holds generally. In a series of observations on a large number of different subjects (leech, mouse, mole, rabbit, hare, hen and pigeon) Monassein found the II red corpuscles to increase in size after hemorrhage. He explain- ed this as being due to an imbibition of the diluted plasma. Investigations made upon animals, in which the change in the number of leucocytes following hemorrhage was ob- served, have been promoted by Hayem, Rieder, Himmelj- sterna."-- Tschoudnowsky, Virchow,-^ Limbeck,-* and Molas- sez.-"' Hayem observed a leucocytosis which he ascribes as arising rather from the inflammatory process than from the loss of blood. Limbeck observed a similar leuco- cytosis. and also found an increase in leucocytes following simple incision, when no blood was drawn and the wound healed with no suppuration. Tschoudnowsky found such a rapid leuco- cytosis that the ratio of leutocytes to red corpuscles was as high as 1 :6o. \"irchow explained post-hemorrhagic leucocytosis as be- ing caused by the property the leucocytes have of clinging to the walls of the vessels when the other constituents are drawn oft. In a series of experiments on dogs Rieder.observed a variable leuco- cytosis after hemorrhage. In one case the number of leucocytes was double the normal on the third day, while in another case it was very feeble at that period. Himmelj sterna reported the unique observation of a decrease in leucocytes on the first day after hemorrhage. Henle,-'' Remak.-' W'oltersom,-* Conheim,'^ Massart and Bor- det,-'-' Gabritschewsky,-''^ Afanasiew,^- Leber,-''^ Roemer,^* Buch- ner,-"-'' Escherich,-'*' and Foster "' all report the observation of a leucocytosis of greater or lesser intensity following hemorrhage. Afanasiew reports an increase in the leucocytes amounting to 15 times the normal. The influence of the loss of blood upon the nervous system has been investigated by Leichtenstern,^^ Kussmaul and Tenner, ^^ Naunyn and Quinke,*" and Gies."*^ Leichtenstern observed that immediately after hemorrhage a temporary decrease in the num- ber and depth of the respirations took place. After severe hemor- rhages the frer|uency of respiration ultimately increased. Kuss- maul and Tenner observed convulsions due to a decrease in the aterial blr)od supply of the brain. These convulsions did not occur in slow hemorrhages. The authors showed the central origin of the convuslions to be in the region l)ehind the optic lobes. This 12 investigation of Kussmaul and Tenner, as well as others by Jolly ' and Bonders, has shown that the statement that the loss of blood does not alter the blood supply to the brain is without foundation. In experiments on toads, frogs, rabbits and dogs Gies induced anaemia of the brain by means of perfusing solutions. He ob- served that rapidly induced anaemia was followed by convulsions, whereas an anaemia brought about gradually was unaccompanied by any such phenomena. Experiments upon the variations in blood pressure after hem- orrhage have been made by Worm-MuUer,*- Volkmann,*'' Naw- rotzky,"* Magendie,*'^ Nawlichen**^ and Hayem,*' while observa- tions upon the variations in body temperature after hemorrhage have been made by Marshall Hall,** Traube,*^ Spielman,-''*' Frese and Charaszewski,^^ and Wunderlich.^- The fibrin content of the blood has been made the subject of investigations by Biicke,^'^ Nasse,''* Jiirgensen,^^ and Mayer.^** Briicke found a decrease in fibrin proportional to the amount of depletion. His observations were made upon several samples, drawn consecutively. He attributed the decrease in fibrin to the fact that transuding fluids had diluted the blood. Nasse, by draw- ing the blood at intervals of 48 hours, showed an increase in fibrin, and Jiirgensen by similar procedure on fasting dogs, confirmed this observation. Baumann and Mayer found the same. The rate of coagulation has been studied by Vierordt," Briicke,'^^ Nasse,^^ and Baumann.*"' Vierordt and Briicke reached the conclusion that in uninterrupted hemorrhages the coagulation rate gradually shortened. Nasse, by drawing his samples at intervals of 24 hovirs, found the coagulation rate to lengthen. Baumann after an interval of a week found the coag- vilation rate shortened. Probably much depends upon the individ- ual organism and the amount of blood drawn. Observations upon the specific gravity of the blood have been made by Sherrington and Copeman,"^ Otto,"- Jones,*'-^ Bizzozero and Salvioli,"* Woltersom,*''* and Baumann.''" In every case the specific gravity was observed to fall after loss of blood. Variations in body weight after hemorrhage have been noted by TolmatschefT,"^ Bauer,"'* Jiirgensen,"'' Lister,'^" and Hiiner- fauth.'^^ An increase was generally observed. Tolmatschefif in- 13 duced six hemorrhages upon one dog in a period of 70 days and observed an increase in body weight up to the fifth hemorrhage, when a decrease occurred. His hemorrhages were from 1.1% to 2.8% of the body weight. In experiments already quoted upon nitrogen metabolism Bauer and Jiirgensen observed a slight rise in body weight. Lister mentions the fattening of calves in Eng- land through frequent blood-letting. Hiinerfauth observed in dogs an increase in weight during the week after hemorrhage. The rate of the urine flow after hemorrhage has been investi- gated by Frederick Goll.'- Dogs narcotized by opium were used as subjects. Ureter cannulas were inserted and the normal flow of urine was observed for one-half hour when a hemorrhage was induced and the variations in the flow of urine and in blood pres- sure were recorded. In every case the urine flow was greatly de- creased after hemorrhage, and this decrease was accompanied by a fall in blood pressure. The author concluded from his obser- vations that arterial pressure had an important influence upon the excretion of urine. Jiirgensen observed an increased urine flow after hemorrhage, especially in the case of fasting dogs. He of- fered two suggestions for the increased volume: — i. Extra water needed to remove the accumulated urea. 2. Tissue fluids contain less proteid and more water than the blood. By transudation after hemorrhage the blood would contain more water than nor- mal if it were not removed in the urine. "Fatal hemorrhage" has been the topic of investigations by Schramm, v. Kireefif,'^ Hayem,'^ and Noll.'" Schramm placed the limit as varying between 3.91% — 5-77% of the body weight, while Hayem placed the value at from 4.34% — 5-55% depending on the individual, v. Kireeff ascertained that a loss of between 56% and 95% of the total blood was necessary to cause death, whereas Xoll foimd that a hemorrhage of -A, the total blood was fatal. Infusion experiments of various forms have been promoted by Kronecker," Ott.''* Maydl,''* Schramm,'"' and Prevost and Dumas. ^' The influence of iron feeding u])on blood regeneration follow- ing hemorrhage has been investigated by Skvortsov,"^ and De- bierre and Ij'nassier.'*'' The results of both observations showed 14 an increase in haemglobin and red corpuscles after iron feeding was begun. An increase in lymph formation was obtained by Emminghaus^* after hemorrhage. Proteid decomposition in patients suffering from various mala- dies has been studied by Fleischer and Penzoldt,^^ Lipmann- Wulf,**' Ketcher,*' v. Moraczewski,*** and Eichorst.*' The obser- vations of Fleischer and Penzoldt were concerned with conditions pertaining in Leukaemia patients. Normal persons were used as controls and were fed the same diet as the patients. The urine was analyzed for nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and uric acid. The data showed that all four of these constituents were increased in leukaemia. Lipmann-Wulf in three cases of chlorosis observed a gain of nitrogen to the body varying from 0.06 to 0.71 gram per day. However, the nitrogen content of the food was deter- mined by calculation, and the feces was not analyzed. Eichorst, on the contrary, claims to have observed an increased proteid de- composition in pernicious anaemia. He simply makes his deduct- ions from general indications as no food analyses were made. The effect of the inhalation of oxygen in diseases where a path- alogical blood condition maintains has been investigated by Bur- zhinski,^° Sticker,^^ Albrecht,^- and Hayem.^^ The observations of Burzhinski show an increased nitrogen metabolism in leukae- mia patients. Uric acid in relation to urea was also increased. Studies by Aibrecht on anaemic children who inhaled thirty litres of oxygen daily showed increased respiration, pulse, body tem- perature and weight. The red corpuscles were increased in di- rect ratio to the amount of oxygen inhaled and the haemoglobin value was also raised. Post-hemorrhagic observations of leucocytes have been made by Rieder,''* Hayem,'^'' Samuel,'"' and King.^^ Rieder observed that the leucocytosis following hemorrhage in man did not differ from other forms of leucocytosis. He found nucleated red cor- puscles and a decrease in haemoglobin. Hayem failed to observe any post-hemorrhagic leucocytosis in human subjects. The red corpuscles and haemoglobin were decreased. Samuel observed that the number of the leucocytes was increased after hemor- rhage, due to the large number which were brought by the lymph. Post-operative leucocytosis was observed in several instances i by King-. The operations were of various kinds of the major order. The maximum leticocytosis in the majority of cases oc- curred within twelve hours after the operation and was very transient. The author's observation of leucocytosis following operative procedure agrees with those of ]\Iolassez, and Hayem. These latter investigators however were inclined to believe the leucocytosis was due to suppuration or inflammation, whereas no such condition was present in King's experiments. Mosler,'-'* Lowit,^'' and Miiller^"" have observed conditions in leukaemia. Low it claimed that the large nimiber of leucocytes in the blood in leukaemia was not due to increased production of leu- cocytes but to a lessening of the formation of polynuclear cells from the mononuclear, as well as to the diminution in the destruc- tion of pol\nuclear cells. Miiller believed the increase in leuco- cytes was due to increased cell proliferation. The observations upon the influence of the loss of blood occur- ring pathalogically in human subjects are comparatively few in number. Such losses would ordinarily occur from accident, in rupture of aneurism, in post-partum hemorrhage, or in cases of ulcer of the stomach or duodenum. Osler"^ mentions an instance where /JX pounds (3375 grams) of blood was shed into the pleura from the rupture of an aneurism. In a case of hemateme- sis the same authority mentions that a loss of 10 pounds (4500 grams) in one week was followed by recovery. The author states that even after very severe hemorrhages of this order, the num- ber of red corpuscles is not reduced so greatly as in forms of idiopathic of pernicious anaemia. Thus in the above instance after a week of bleeding the red corpuscle count was as high as 1,390,000 per cubic millimetre. Regeneration goes on rapidly and sometimes the blood is normal as regards volume and content of salts and proteid constituents, in a week or ten days. This regen- eration may, however, take weeks or even months, Osier says, be- fore the corpuscles reach the normal standard. The haemoglobin is restored more slowly than the corpuscles, and there is a mod- erate leucocytosis which diminishes during recovery. Nitrogen metabolism during gastric ulcer was studied by v. Noorden,'"^ Xeusser,'"'* and Kalisch.'"^ v. Noorden observed in two cases, where the loss of blood was large, that no considerable i6 increase was noted in the nitrogen elimination, either on the day of the loss of blood or on the following days. The patients took no food and the nitrogen output was from 6.2 to 8 grams per day, an amount which was about normal for the organisms during inanition. From this the author was inclined to doubt whether the increase in nitrogen observed by Bauer, Jiirgensen and others w^ould hold in the case of man. B.— FIRST SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS. I. DESCRIPTION. I. The Purpose and Plan of the Investigation. — The purpose of this investigation was to study, in dogs, the effect of external hemorrhage upon the general metabolic processes of the body, particular attention being paid to the changes occurring in the volume of the urine and in the course of the nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus output. It was also proposed to study the variation in the chemical composition of the blood following hemorrhage. Alterations in body weight were also recorded. It was deter- mined to use one subject for a series of experiments and to study the influence of repeated hemorrhages extending through a long period of time, and later to check these results upon a second animal. After the first dog was brought to a condition of nitrogen equi- librium by means of a preliminary experiment, the initial hemor- rhage was instituted. Following this, after the dog. was again at nitrogen equilibrium came the control experiments. These were followed by four more hemorrhages of varying intensities and separated from one another by periods of different lengths. The first, second, third and fourth hemorrhages were made with the animal practically in nitrogen equilibrium, w^hereas in the case of the fifth hemorrhage no attempt in this direction was made. We fully appreciate that at the time of this last hemorrhage the or- ganism was somewhat abnormal and that therefore the results are I? not strictly comparable with those of the earlier hemorrhages. However, as long as we were able to get the organism in a condi- tion of nitrogen equilibrium we hold that no great abnormality could obtain, and that therefore we are justified in comparing the data from the first four hemorrhages. General data for the first series of experiments are given in Table XII. 2. Articles of Diet. Beef. — This consisted of lean meat (round steak ) carefully freed, as far as possible mechanically, from all traces of fat and connective tissue. After being finely hashed in a meat chopper the meat was thoroughly pressed in a hand press, carefully mixed and samples taken for analysis. This sampling was done by taking small portions from various parts of the mass during the mixing process and weighing by difference in tubes previously freed from moisture by means of filter paper. After being pressed and mixed the beef was made into small balls and placed in air-tight glass jars. These vessels contained, at most, only enough nieat for two days' use, thus necessitating the open- ing of any single jar but once. The meat was prepared in quantity sufficient to last several weeks, and for preservation was placed in the "cold room" where it was frozen, thus insuring uniform composition from day to day. Proof of this uniform composition after the lapse of time was shown by the duplication of analytic results three weeks after the beef had been placed in the jars. We feel that this method serves admirably for the purpose intended. The beef is at all times fresh and palatable and eagerly eaten by the animals under investiga- tion. In any experunents where use is made of fresh meat and where freezing facilities are at the command of the investigator, we highly recommend this method of meat preservation and preparation.' Cracker Dust. — Ordinary cracker dust purchased in quantity from a wholesale grocer, thoroughly mixed and placed in large air-tight anatomical jars. Lard. — Pure leaf lard and containing nothing of a vegetable nature. Bone Ash. — Obtained from a well known firm of wholesale ICies : American Journal of Physiology, 1501, V., p. 235. i8 chemists. The feces of dogs hving upon a meat diet are ordinar- ily passed in large quantity at intervals of several days and being of a very soft character are extremely unpleasant to deal with. Feces of this order will invariably become distributed over a great portion of the interior of the cage and frequently mix with the urine, thus making impossible accurate deductions regarding the nitrogen content of either the one or the other. In order to cause more regular defecation of feces 'having a more desirable consistenc}' it was determined to feed the animal ten grams of bone ash daily. With this amount of ash in the diet the animal defecated eighty times in eighty-four days or approximately once a day, and with two exceptions the stools were invariably of a hard character and easily removable. Water. — Ordinary city water heated to about fifty degrees cen- tigrade. The water was taken at this high temperature in order to offset the low temperature of the frozen beef and at the same time form a tempting" mixture. When added to the solid ingre- dients of the diet this warm water formed a rather thick soup which was decidedly appetizing. The food mixture as finally prepared possessed a temperature of approximately twenty-three degrees centigrade and was always eaten by the dog with great eagerness. By referring to Table I, the quantity of each of the articles of diet fed during the various periods may be observed. This diet containing 10.271 grams of nitrogen, was given the beast at 5 o'clock every afternoon. It was of course very desirable, from the nature of the investigation, that the subject should ingest the same amount of nitrogen daily the entire experimental period. Therefore, when the original preparation of beef was consumed, enough of the new preparation was fed to give the same amount of nitrogen daily. Thus the different beef preparations were fed as follows : — Preparation No. i. — 250 grams daily from Nov. 2 to Dec. 4. Preparation No. 2. — 256.4 grams daily from Dec. 5 to Jan. 2. Preparation No. 3. — 241 grams daily from Jan. 3 to Jan. 24. Apart from the beef the amounts of the constituents of the diet fed daily were unaltered during the entire experimental period of eighty-four days. 19 3- Preparation of the Anaesthetic. — The ether used in all oper- ations was the purest product obtainable on the market. This presumably chemically pure ether was dehydrated by fused copper sulphate for several days, and after being subjected to a series of three distillations the final product was that used as the anaes- thetic in our operations. The chloroform was also the best obtainable and was used as purchased. 4. Subject. — In all long metabolism experiments upon dogs where so much of the success of the investigation depends upon the subject it is evidently of great importance to secure a dog that will eat his food regularly, be contented in confinement, and possess an amiable disposition. Where the income and outgo of nitrogen are studied it is also desirable to use a short-haired dog, as in the course of a long experiment much nitrogen is lost by way of the hair. In the present instance three beasts were tried before a suitable subject was found. The third animal, however, a very active short-haired dog weighing about 17k. was entierly satisfactory. 5. Methods of Analysis. — The nitrogen determinations were made by the Kjeldahl method, the preliminary oxidation being ac- coir.plished by sulphuric acid and a small amount of copper sul- phate.^ The chlorine content of the urine was determined by Mohr's- method. Sulphur and phosphorus were determined by the fusion method."' The specific gravity of the blood and urine was determined by an urinometer. The analyses in every instaiKe were made in duplicate. The analytic results were further controlled by the preparation and analysis of composite urine samples for each experimental period. In Table XIY are given the data from the analyses of these urines. Xothing except the [)urest chemicals available were employed and these were always examined and "checked" before use. 1 Marcuse : Archiv fiir die gesammte Physiologic, 1896.

PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENT. In all investigations where a nitrogen balance is attempted it is of the first importance to bring the organism to be used as sub- ject to the point of nitrogen equilibrium before any accurate study of the specific problem shall be attempted. To this end, the dog mentioned on page 19 was selected as a subject and preliminary feeding of the animal begun on Oct. 29, 1902. During the first few days no analyses of excreta were made but the animal was given the regulation diet. In the course of this period his body weight fell from 17.23k. on Oct. 29 to 17.02k. on Nov. i. Be- ginning Nov. 2 full analytical data were collected. This preliminary experiment embraced a period of twelve days. In that time, upon a regular daily ingestion of 500 cc. of water the dog excreted an average daily volume of 489 cc. of urine. Making allowance for the evaporation which must of necessity have been several cubic centimetres daily we see that practically all of the ingested water was recovered. It will be noted that the body weight of the animal was wonderfully regular during the early days of the experiment and even at the twelfth day showed but a slight decrease. For this preliminary period the average nitrogen output was 9.673 grams daily (Table III). The reaction of the urine was acid throughout the period. For the purpose of direct compari- son with other data the last five days of the experimental period are alone taken into account. Naturally the first days of the ex- periment when the dog was among totally new surroundings and being fed an unaccustomed diet, the collected data would have comparatively little value. However, as he became accustomed to both diet and conditions the organism would gradually assume a definite nutritional plane and nitrogen equilibrium would result. Our data make it evident that from the eighth to the twelfth day, inclusive, the animal was rapidly approaching this condition. Dur- ing these five days the average daily volume of urine was 517 cc. It will be noted that the average urine volume for the first seven days was but 468 cc, indicating an evident retention of water by the organism. Therefore the increase in volume during the fol- lowing five days was to have been expected. During this same five day period, upon a daily nitrogen ingestion of 10.271 grams. 21 I0.023 grams was eliminated, thus showing a gain of but 0.248 gram daily (Table IV). This then afforded a very satisfactory starting point for our study of the influence of hemorrhage. III. FIRST HEMORRHAGE In determining the influence of the withdrawal of blood upon metabolism it is in many ways desirable to take the fluid from a small vessel supplying a comparatively unimportant area. At first thought the facial vessels seem to ofifer many advantages in this direction. The ligation of these vessels, taking their course as they do along boney structures, would naturally occasion less disturbance of the metabolic activities than the ligation of vessels of the same calibre in many other parts of the body. It was as- certained, however, by means of a preliminary examination of these vessels in another animal, that it would not be expedient to attempt to draw any large amount of blood from this locality. Therefore, after due consideration, it was determined to make use of the femoral artery somewhere along the lower portion of its course (Saphenous branch). I. Operative Procedure. — The subject of this experiment was a 17k. dog which had been on a fixed diet (See page 55) since Oct. 29 and was now, after sixteen days feeding, approximately in nitrogen equilibrium (See Table IV, p. 58). In order to make impossible the loss of urine should any be voided during anaesthesia, the beast was placed in a large zinc- lined tray. Urine passed under these conditions could easily be recovered by means of a pipette and filter paper. At 8.10 A. M. the administration of the anaesthetic was begun. From the very fir.st the beast struggled in a very violent manner, necessitating the combined efforts of three men in order to administer the anaesthetic at all satisfactorily. At the end of eight minutes, as the animal still possessed much of his original vigor, a small amount of chloroform (5 cc. ) was added to the ether previously administered. This chloroform-ether mixture had the desired ef- fect and the dog was soon in a semi-unconscious condition. Ether was now continued and at 8.45 it was plainly evident that it had been administered to the surgical degree. The ojieration 22 was begun at this time, and precautions were taken throughout to keep the conditions strictly asceptic. Before laying bare and clamping the artery the following arrangements were made : A cannula previously coated on the interior with an extremely thin layer of mutton tallow, tO' prevent the blood from clotting, was adjustetd to a rubber tube of appropriate length and calibre. In collecting the blood use was made of a 25% solution of sodium chloride, as it was desir- able to prevent clotting as far as possible. A large beaker con- taining 273 grams of the sodium chloride solution (244 cc.) was accurately weighed, after which both balance and beaker were carefully supported in a position very near and somewhat below the operating table. The balance was placed in this position in order to make the length of tube leading from the cannula to the beaker as short as possible and in this way further guard against clotting. It had previously been determined to withdraw an amount of blood approximating 3% of the animal's body weight, or about 500 grams. To accomplish this accurately a 500 gram weight was added to the weights of the beaker and salt solution and it was then arranged to allow the hemorrhage to continue until it was evident from the movement of the balance pan that approximately the desired amount had been collected. As soon as possible after the completion of the above arrangements the artery was laid bare and the blood drawn. In forty-six minutes from the time the anaesthetic was discon- tinued the dog was entirely himself, stood on his feet, and al- though he was somewhat weak from loss of blood and the effect of the anaesthesia, he appeared in fine condition. At no time after the operation was there any inc.lmation to vomit, and the appetite of the animal continued excellent throughout the period. Time Schedule. — 8.10 A. M., anaesthesia begun (ether). 8.18, trace of chloroform given. 8.35, beast placed on board. 8.45, operation begun. 9.26, incisions made, artery laid bare, and ligated, cannula inserted and slow hemorrhage commenced. 10.00, commencement of more rapid hemorrhage. 10.12, return to slow hemorrhage. 10.14, hemorrhage ended. 10.20, wounds sewed up and administration of ether discontinued. 10.21, beast removed from board to cage. 10.25, evidence of returning con- 23 sciousness. 10.55, sat up in his cage. 11.06, stood on his feet and moved about. The blood drawn at this hemorrhage weighed 492.9 grams (Table II). 2. Observations on the Influence of the First Hemorrhage. — The first observation following the hemorrhage was the failure of the dog to urinate as frequenth' or as large a volume as former- ly. The experiment started at 8.10 A. M. and the first urine was not passed until from 16 to 24 hours afterward (Table V). The urine volume for the day of the operation was therefore the low- est of any day of the investigation up to that time. Now in our control experiments we have seen that under the influence of the anaesthesia, in each case, the first urine was passed in from 7 to 8 hours after the operation. It is also seen from our data that on the first day of the control experiments the maximum volume of urine was eliminated. Therefore this very low volume after hemorrhage is all the more significant when we consider that the same force (anaesthesia) was acting at the time of the hemor- rhage as was at work when we secured the very large urine elimination on the initial days of our control experiments. The onlv new factor is the iiemorrhage. Hence the influence of the withdrawal of blood is much greater than appears, for in order to so delay the flow of urine that the first elimination should not occur until from 16 to 24 hours after, the hemorrhage has been forced to overcome the diuretic influence of the anaesthesia which would have caused a large output of urine in from 7 to 8 hours after. The nitrogen content (6.33 grams) of the urine on the first day, was also the minimum outi)ut up to date. The body weight of the dog fell 0.51k. on the first day. On the second day some radical changes occurred. On this day the dog passed an unusually large volume of urine, having the maximum specific gravity for the ex- periment, and containing the second largest content of nitrogen. The body weight of the dog continued to fall somewhat. Notwithstanding the rather high volumes of urine passed on the second and third days after the hemorrhage, the average at any time was considerably below that of the preliminary experiment. For instance, the average of the first nine days was but 467 cc, whereas the average preceding the hemorrhage was 489 cc. This 24 showed an average retention by the organism of 22 grams of water daily, or 198 grams in the nine days. During the last seven days of the experiment the retained water seemed to have been eliminated and the normal ratio again reached. In the course of these seven days the average urine volume was 518 cc, a daily increase of 29 cc. above that of the preliminary experiment, or a total increase of 203 grams. From the weights as determined we find that during this period of seven days the dog's weight fell from 16.34k. to 16.09k., a total loss of 250 grams. 3. Discussion of the Income and Outgo of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus After the First Hemorrhage. — The study of the first hemorrhage was begun with the subject showing a gain of 0.248 gram of nitrogen daily. The effect of the withdrawal of blood was to cause an increase in the nitrogen content of the urine, this increase appearing the first day after the hemorrhage, and reach- ing its maximum at the fifth day. After this date the average elimination decreased and approximate nitrogen equilibrium was reached on the sixteenth day of the experiment. By referring to the data for the nitrogen elimination for the five days following this hemorrhage (Table IV), it will be seen that the average daily increase in nitrogen for this period was 1.009 grams. The dog was gaining 0.248 gram of nitrogen daily, how- ever, at the time of the hemorrhage, hence the effect was to cause an increased output of 1.257 grams of nitrogen daily. This rep- resents the final effect produced by the anaesthesia, operation and hemorrhage acting in unison. Now we shall see from our con- trol experiments (Table XIX), that the effect of the anaesthesia was to decrease the nitrogen output 0.937 gram daily. Making this correction we have as the effect of operation and hemorrhage an increase of 2.194 grams daily, and further correcting for the effect of the operation we have as the net effect of the hemorrhage an increase in the daily nitrogen output of 0.488 gram (Table XIX). The nitrogen balance for the whole sixteen days of the experi- ment (Table III) showed a loss of 0.179 gram of nitrogen daily. The sulphur followed this with a daily loss of 0.023 gram (Tables VI and XI) while the phosphorus showed a daily gain of 0.123 grams. 25 rV. CONTROL EXPERIMENTS. In studying- the effect of the withdrawal of blood there were evidently two forms of control experiments necessary before any definite conclusions could be reached. The first of these was the influence of anaesthesia, and the sec- ond the influence of the anaesthesia plus the influence of the operation which accompanied all our withdrawals of blood. If it were practicable to draw blood without the use of any anaesthetic, obviously the first form of control ex- periment could be eliminated. But even were such a method pur- sued other factors, such as the nefvous influence, would be intro- duced and we could not be certain that the effect secured was de- pendent alone upon loss of blood. Obviously, for this reason ex- periments upon the influence of hemorrhage, made withotit the use of anaesthetics, would be extreiiiely difficult to control. Local anaesthetics might be employed, but even here we could not be sure what influence tlie absorption of these bodies w-ould have upon the organism. The experimental plan adopted by us was open to complete control which we feel would not have been possi- ble had we followed either of the other plans mentioned. Two control experiments were made, the first, ten days in length, was devoted to the study of the influence of anaesthesia, and in the second, covering a period of thirteen days, an attempt was made to determine the effect of anaesthesia accompanied by the operative manipulation. I. Influence of Anaesthesia. — The general procedure in this our first control experiment was practically identical with that of the regular blood-letting experiments. The animal was placed on the operating board, loosely tied to allow freedom of motion in his struggles, and the administration of ether begun. After an in- terval of a few moments a small amount of chloroform was given as in the other experiments. Care was taken to consume the usual length of time in reaching complete anaesthesia. The beast was kept under the influence of the anaesthetic for a period corre- sponding to the normal time of operation and was then returned to his cage. A detailed time schedule follows: — 9.10, anaesthesia begun. 9.18, chloroform administered. 9.40, anaesthesia com- 26 plete. 1 1. 20, administration of ether discontinued and dog re- turned to cage. 11.30, returning consciousness. 11.50, sits up and staggers about. 12.00, appears normal. The whole period of anaesthesia was without incident except the loss of about 5 cc. of urine at 9.15 by reason of vigorous abdominal movement. This urine was recovered by means of filter paper and added to the washings for the period. The struggling incident to the former anaesthesia was duplicated in detail. (a). Observations on the Influence of Anaesthesia. Before attempting to study the influence of anaesthesia an ef- fort was made to get the dog as nearly as possible in a condition of nitrogen equilibrium. By referring to the nitrogen balance for the five days immediately preceding the anaesthesia experiment (Table IV, p. 58) it will be seen that the animal was approximate- ly in the desired condition, there being a loss of but 0.159 gram of nitrogen per day. Upon an examination of the data for this experiment (Table XII, p. 66) several evident variations from the order ob- taining in the preliminary and first blood-letting experiments are noted. Whereas the average urine volume of the pre- ceeding periods had been 489 cc. in each case, here, upon the same ingestion of water we secured an average urine volume of 522 cc. for the period. The urine volume for the day on which the anaesthetic was administered was particularly worthy of notice. Upon this day, which in the experiment preceeding had shown a urine volume of 377 cc. we secured a volume of 654 cc, or nearly double that pre- viously secured. When we compare this volume with the average volume for the whole period preceeding we still have an increase of 165 cc. for the day. This increase in volume is evidently traceable to the diuretic action of the ether. Another striking feature of the urine excretion was its high specific gravity accompanied by a relatively low nitrogen content. This was especially true of the first few days following anaes- thesia. As measured by other daily excretions, both before and after the anaesthesia experiment, a urine volume of 654 cc. hav- ing a specific gravity of 1.018 would have given us a nitrogen out- put of 10.94 grams (See data for Nov. 10, Nov. 24, Jan. 12, and 27 Tan. 13). Tims the effect of the anaesthesia was to diminish the total nitrogen excretion for the day approximately 20%. After the excretion of phosphates and sulphates failed to show the cause of the unusual relation between the specific gravity and nitrogen content we turned to the chlorides for a solution of the problem, and beginning Nov. 25 duplicate determinations of the chlorine content of the urine were made for every day up to and including Dec. 3. The following results were obtained : — Xov. 25 1.82 grams of chlorine. Nov. 26 1. 71 grams of chlorine. Nov. 2"] 1.65 grams of chlorine. Nov. 28 1.87 grams of chlorine. Nov. 29 1.69 grams of chlorine. Nov. 50 ^.J7 grams of chlorine. Dec. I 2.85 grams of chlorine. Dec. 2 2.73 grams of chlorine. Dec. 3 2.39 grams of chlorine. From this data it will be seen that the chlorine output was fair- Iv constant up to the day the anaesthetic was given, showing an average daily elimination of 1.75 grams, and that on this day an increase of 150% in the chlorine content of the urine occurred. Thus the indications are that the rise in the daily output of chlor- ides through the influence of anaesthesia, caused a higher specific gravity on the days immediately following the administration of the anaesthetic than the determined content of nitrogen would warrant. As a further verification we took a volume of water (649 cc.) equal to the volume of urine passed by the dog on Nov. 30, and dissolved in this 7.2 grams of sodium chloride, which, according to our data, was the amount eliminated on that day. This gave us a specific gravity of 1.009. T'le actual specific gravity of the urine of that day being 1.018, we see that a large part of the den- sity of the fluid was due to the presence of sodium chloride. We next added to this sodium chloride solution an amount of urea C18.4 grams) equivalent to the nitrogen content of the urine for that day, and secured a specific gravity of 1.015. This left but three points in density to be met by the other solid ingredients of 28 the urine. Thus we secured from 7.2 grams of sodium chloride a rise in specific gravity 50% greater than from 18.4 grams of urea. This rough calculation easily explained the condition of high spe- cific gravity and low nitrogen content. As has been said elsewhere (p. 23) the drawing of blood, among other well marked effects, caused a very noticeable de- crease in the amount of urine eliminated for an extended period thereafter. Consider, for example, the hemorrhages immediately preceeding and following the anaesthesia experiment. After the first hemorrhage which began at 8.10 A. M. no urine was passed during the next sixteen hours, or up to midnight (Table V). On the following morning at 8.30 the urine volume was 300 cc. As the beast was not observed between midnight and 8.30 A. M. we are unable to conclude at what hour this urine was eliminated. After the second hemorrhage a similar course was followed, i. e., no urine up to midnight, followed by a volume of 590 cc. at 9 o'clock the next morning. In the anaesthesia experiment, how- ever, where no blood was drawn, but the individual influence of the anaesthetic was studied, we find very different conditions to prevail. Here, following the administration of the ether at 9.10 A. M., we observed a fairly large elimination of urine (283 cc.) in seven hours (4.15 P. M.) or in less than one-half the time that elapsed before the first urine appeared after the hemorrhages mentioned. The diuretic influence of the ether was thus very clearly indicated. As was observed in the other periods, the body weight of the animal fell somewhat upon the day of anaesthesia, in this particu- lar casea loss of 0.28k. being noted. (b). Discussion of the Income and Outgo of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus Before and After Anaesthesia. It is very evident that an effect produced by an agency such as anaesthesia or hemorrhage will naturally be more pronounced during the days immediately following the operation. It is also easily seen that in all such instances there will come a point, soon- er or later, at which time the animal will again begin to approach the normal and tend toward nitrogen equilibrium. Such being the situation it is of course essential to know as nearly as possible 29 when tiitrogen equilibrium is being reached. In order to facihtate comparison and the drawing of conckisions, ni- trogen balances for a short period immediately preceed- ing the commencement of each experiment have been made in order to show the exact state of the organ- ism at the moment the experiment began. In addition, nitro- gen balances for a few days following the commencement of each experiment are given in order to show the immediate effect, if anv. which was secured in each specific instance. No attempt be- ing made after Jan. 19 to get the dog again into nitrogen equili- brium, such balances will not be found for experimental days after that date. As sulphur and phosphorus were not determined in daily samples no such balances will be found for these elements. By referring to the nitrogen balance for the short period imme- diately preceeding the administration of the anaesthetic (Table IV } it will be seen that the dog was approximately in nitrogen equilibrium, and by consulting this table further we note that the effect of anaesthesia was to cause a lowering of the nitrogen out- put and a consequent daily gain of 0.937 gram of nitrogen to the body. Data concerning the relation between the nitrogen content and the specific gravity of the urine during this period will be found on page 26. The course of the sulphur excretion in a general way followed that of the nitrogen. The period preceeding the anaesthesia ex- periment showed a daily loss of 0.023 gram of sulphur (Table VI), whereas the balance for the period showing the influence of the anaesthetic exhibited a gain of 0.015 gram of sulphur daily. Thus we had as the final effect of the anaesthesia upon the course of the sulphur excretion a daily gain of 0.128 gram. The course of the phosphorus excretion seemed to be directly opposite that of nitrogen and sulphur. Showing before the ex- periment a gain of 0.123 gram of phosphorus daily (Table VII), we secured after the anaesthesia a gain of but 0.015 gram daily. In this instance the ])hosphorus showed a loss of 0.108 gram daily, whereas the nitrogen and sulphur each showed a gain. Thus the anae.sthsia caused a fall in the daily excretion of nitrogen and sulphur anrl a coincident rise in the phosphorus excretion. 2. Influence of Anaesthesia-Operation. — The nitrogen content 30 of the urines of Dec. 6-9 indicating that the dog was approximate- ly in nitrogen equiHbrium (-|- 0.158 gram of nitrogen per day) it was determined to begin our second control experiment on Dec. 10. Apart from the drawing of blood, the procedure in this ex- periment followed the same course as that of the regulation blood- letting experiments. The beast was anaesthetized and the custom- ary operative steps were carefully followed. The regulation incis- ion was made, artery laid bare, (in this case the right femoral-) clamped and the cannula inserted. The wound was then sewed up and the animal returned to his cage. In fact everything was done to make this operation coincide in every detail with the regulation blood-letting operations. Schedule follows: — 8.12 A. M. anaes- thesia begun. ^ 8.20, small amount of chloroform given. 8.45, operation begun. 10.23, anaesthetic discontinued. 10.24, dog placed in cage. 10.28, signs of returning consciousness. 10. 40, sits up. (a). Observations on the Influence of Anaesthesia-Operation. In the main the characteristics of this period were similar to those observed during the anaesthesia experiment. Here with the same uniform water ingestion of 500 cc. we secured an average daily urine volume of 531 cc, thus comparing favorably with the average (522 cc.) of the anaesthesia period, but being in marked contrast to the average elimination (489 cc.) secured during our preliminary experiment. The same condition of low nitrogen elimination, when ap- proached from the point of view of specific gravity, maintained here as was seen to prevail during the early part of the anaesthesia experiment. Here as in the former instance we considered that a largely increased output of chlorine caused the peculiar rela- tion. In this experiment, as well as in the one devoted exclusively to the study of the influence of ether, we noted a copious flow of urine appearing much earlier than after the blood-letting opera- tions. As in the anaesthesia experiment, this copious flow of urine was doubtless due to diuresis produced by the anaesthetic. On Dec. 18 at about i P. M. the dog was observed lapping its IThe animal passed a few grams of feces during preliminary anaesthesia. This waS added to the feces for the day. 31 wound, and upon examination it was found that a slight hemor- rhage had been produced by the animal, probably by means of his foot in the act of scratching. The flow of blood was soon stopped, however, and the wound bandaged with adhesive plaster to pre- vent the animal producing another hemorrhage. Probably not over 25 cc. of blood was lost and practically all of this was eaten by the dog. By an examination of the data it will be seen that the nitrogen elimination of Dec. 18 was the highest of the experiment, while that of Dec. 19 was also relatively high. This increase may have been due partly to the ingested blood, or it may have been the normal excretion since these two days were followed by two days of low elimination which upon the 21st practically restored the ratio as it existed previous to the accidental hemorrhage. (b). Discussion of the Income and Outgo of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus Before and After Anaesthesia-Operation. The nitrogen balance for the four days immediately preceeding the commencement of the anaesthesia-operation experiment (Table IV) showed us that the dog was practically in a condition of ni- trogen equilibrium (-[-0.158 gram daily). The next balance, i. €.. that for the five days immediately following the anaesthesia- operation of Dec. 10, records an average daily loss of 0.61 1 gram of nitrogen. Hence the efifect of the anaesthesia-operation was to cause an increase of 0.769 gram in the daily nitrogen output (Table XIX;. Now we have already seen that the effect of the anaesthesia alone was to decrease the nitrogen elimination 0.937 gram daily. Therefore the operation alone caused an increase in the nitrogen output large enough to overcome entirely the de- crease due to the anaesthesia and yet show a daily increase of 0.769 gram. Hence the total increase due to the operation was 1.706 grams daily (Table XIX). As was noted in the anaesthesia experiment the course of the sulphur excretion was very similar to that of the nitrogen. In the case of the phosphorus excretion also a uniformity with the conditions obtaining in the anaesthesia experiment was noted. Tims while the nitrogen and sulphur showed an increased daily elimination as a result of anaesthesia-operation the phosphorus excretion showed a decrease. 32 V. SECOND HEMORRHAGE. This hemorrhage occurred on Dec. 23 at the close of the anaes- thesia-operation experiment. An attempt was again made ta withdraw approximately 3% of the animal's body weight. Apart from minor details the operative procedure was the same as that observed at the first hemorrhage (See p. 21). Two incisions were made as at the first operation. It was attempted to draw the blood from a branch of the left femoral just above the knee, but the vessel being too small at this point a second incision was made higher up and the main trunk of the femoral laid bare. A detailed schedule follows: — 8.14 A. M., anaesthesia begun. 8.20, trace of chloroform. 8.40, first incision made. 9.12, second in- cision made. 9.30, cannula inserted. 9.31, hemorrhage begun. 9.40, hemorrhage ended. TO.05, anaesthetic discontinued. 10.10, wounds sewed up. 10.12, animal in cage. 10.24, returning con- sciousness. 11.40, dog appears normal. The total amount of blood lost to the organism at this hemor- rhage was 506 grams. I. Observations on the Influence of the Second Hemorrhage. — According to Hammarsten^ a hemorrhage amounting to one- fourth of the total blood produces no continued sink- ing of the blood pressure in the arteries ; a loss of one-third reduces the blood pressure considerably and a loss of one-half, in adults, is dangerous to life. Now in our second hemorrhage on Dec. 23 we drew 506 grams of blood from the animal weighing at that time 15.72k. Taking the amoimt of blood present as being ^/is.g of his body weight (Hammarsten's figure) or 1164 grams, it is seen that, ac- cording to Hammarsten, a hemorrhage of 582 cc. would be dan- gerous to life. The hemorrhage we produced amounted to 506 cc, and, as our data shows, the dog appeared as usual two hours afterward. It seems hardly probable that the animal's condition would have been materially different had we drawn 76 cc. more blood, thus securing Y^ of his entire supply. In the main the influence of the second hemorrhage seemed to be closely parallel to that of the first hemorrhage. At this second hemorrhage we noted the low volume of urine (428 cc.) on the 1 Phj'siological Chemistry, Fourth Edition (English), 1904, p. 209. 33 day blood was drawn, followed by a period of 16-25 liours (Table \') during which no urine was passed; two points in close agree- ment with those of the first hemorrhage. The urine volume ran much higher after the second hemorrhage than after the first. In the four days following the second hemorrhage the average urine volume was 554 cc. (Table XIl), while the average daily elimina- tion for seven days was 525 cc. and for the whole 21 days of the experiment was 530 cc. When contrasted with the average of 451 cc. for the four days following the first hemorrhage and 489 cc, the average for the whole experiment, the variations are quite impressive. These vohunes seem to indicate that the second hemorrhage was not so successful in masking the diuretic effect of the anaesthesia as was the first hemorrhage. The body weight of the animal fell from 15.72k. to 15.18k. on the first day of the experiment, showing a loss of 0.54k. thus very closely agreeing with the loss of 0.51k. sustained through the agency of the first hemorrhage. The body weight continued to fall until, on the fourth day, a weight of 14.76k was registered. This weight was maintained practically unaltered for six days when another gradual decrease began and continued until the end of the experiment. The total loss of weight in the twenty-one days, exclusive of the loss due to hemorrhage, was 0.76k. The reaction of the urine was as a rule amphoteric during the early days of the experiment, the alkalinity gradually decreasing until, during the closing days of the expepiment the amphoteric charac- ter had disappeared and an acid reaction obtained. In agreement with the observations following the first hemor- rhage the second day showed us a large volume of urine having the highest specific gravity of any urine of the experiment, and likewise containing the highest nitrogen content. 2. Discussion of the Income and Outgo of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus After the Second Hemorrhage. — This experiment start- ed with the dog ap];roximately at nitrogen equilibrium, ;'. c, show- ing daily loss of but 0.141 gram of nitrogen. The loss of blood caused this condition to rapidly change into one of largely in- creased nitrogen elimination and at the end of the seventh day a daily increase of 1.799 R^ams of nitrogen was noted. Making the projR-r correction for the influence of the anaesthetic (See p. 75) 34 we have, for the first seven days a dail}^ increase of 2.736 grams of nitrogen as the combined effect of the operation and hemorrhage, and correcting further for the operation, we obtain a daily in- crease of 1.03 grams as the individual effect of the hemorrhage (Table XIX). It will be recognized that this increase was some- what higher than the increase due to the first hemorrhage. The larger urine volume may have had some influence in this direction. The last five days of the experiment indicate a loss of 0.150 gram of nitrogen daily, comparing very favorably witih the average loss of 0.141 gram at the beginning. In agreement with the large increase in the nitrogen excretion following hemorrhage, the excretion of sulphur was also un- usually high. This element showed an increase of 0.180 gram per day for the entire experiment (Table VI). The excretion of phosphorus, as usual, followed a course typically its own and in- stead of showing an increase as did the nitrogen and sulphur, it registered a decreased excretion amounting to 0.163 gram per day (Table VII). VI. THIRD HEMORRHAGE. The third hemorrhage occurred on the morning of Jan. 13, just 21 days after the second hemorrhage. The dog at this time was seemingly in fine condition and was using the leg, operated upon at the second hemorrhage, in a normal manner. It was decided to draw blood on this occasion from the left femoral artery slightly higher up than the site of the second hemorrhage. The operation began at 8.20 A. M., the technique being analo- gous to that of former operations. Upon making the incision we were much surprised at the altered position of the femoral artery. Down beneath and around the wound of the second hemorrhage the central end of the artery was surrounded by a peculiar cap- sule formation which pushed upon the artery causing it to lie deeply imbedded among the tissues. After inserting the cannula the hemorrhage was allowed to continue ten minutes at the end of which period it was evident from physical signs that it would not be policy to continue the hemorrhage longer. The tongue of the beast was much more blanched than at previous hemorrhages and the pulse in the right femoral was almost imperceptible. The 35 animal was so very weak that the sewing up of the wound was hastened and the administration of ether discontinued as soon as possible. Thus the period of anaesthesia was somewhat shorter than at the previous operations. The wound of the second hem- orrhage was drained, a few^ deep lying stitches were removed, and the whole wound cleansed with carbolic acid. A schedule of the operative steps follows : — 8.20 A. M., anaesthesia begun. 8.28, trace of chloroform. 8.41, operation begun. 9.14, cannula insert- ed. 9.15, hemorrhage begun. 9.20, ether discontinued. 9.24, hemorrhage ended. 9.52. wound sewed up. 9.53, animal in cage. 10.02. returning consciousness. 10.20, dog sits up. There was somewhat less salivation than at previous operations. A short time after the operation the dog used his leg much more handily than after former hemorrhages. The total blood lost to the organism aggregated 505.5 grams. I. Observations on the Influence of the Third Hemorrhage. — A larger percentage of the total blood of the animal was drawn at this hemorrhage than upon any other occasion during the course of the experiments. As has been said the blood was allowed to flow until the animal was in an extremely weakened state. When the weights were made it w-as found that the total hemorrhage had been 505.5 grams or 3.51% of the body weight of the animal. According to the theory of Hammarsten (loc. cit.) a hemorrhage of 534 grams would have been fatal. We are inclined to believe that a short continuation of the hemorrhage would have been at- tended by fatal results ; but, in view of the rapid recovery of the dog we do not believe that an increase of 28.5 grams in the amount of blood drawn would have caused the death of the ani- mal. It was very evident, how^ever, that the dog was much more effected by this third hemorrhage than by either of those preceed- ing it. In some of the principal points the effects produced by the third hemorrhage corresijonded very closely with those of the first and seconrl hemorrhages. One of the most imjjortant factors, /. e., the nitrogen excretion, showed the same characteristic of increas- ed elimination. We also see upon the first day of the experiment the customary .'^mall volume of urine having a low specific grav- ity ; althfjugh the difference between the urine volume of this day 36 and the volumes of the days following was not so great as was noted after the first two hemorrhages. The failure of the later days of this experiment to show the usual percentage increase over the volume of the first day is probably to be found in the varia- tion in the time of anaesthesia. At each of the first two hemor- rhages the beast was under the influence of the anaesthetic for approximately 2^ hours ; whereas at the third hemorrhage we were forced to limit the period of anaesthesia to somewhat less than i^ hours.. Bearing in mind the diuretic eftect traceable to the ether it is easily seen that a much larger urine volume might possibly have resulted had the anaesthesia continued the usual length of time. The length of the period between the operation and the elimi- nation of the first urine appeared to differ very decidedly from that of the previous hemorrhages. At the first and second hem- orrhages no urine was passed until from 16 to 24 hours after the operation ; whereas after the third hemorrhage the first elimina- tion was in from 5 to 6 hours. By an examination of the data, however, we learn that the last urination preceeded the operation by 8 hours and that therefore ys of the normal daily urine volume was probably in the dog's bladder at the time of the hemorrhage. Hence, under the circumstances, the passing of urine at an earlier hour was to have been expected. A second urination occurred between 16 and 24 hours after the operation and we think, there- fore, that we are justified in considering the first urine passed as having been formed previous to the operation. The volume pass- ed at this first urination was 180 cc. which at the same rate, would have given us a volume of 540 cc. for the entire 24 hours. This value would agree very closely with the average volume (530 cc.) for the experiment immediately preceeding. The body weight of the dog. fell from 14.42k. to 13.76k. after the hemorrhage, a loss of 0.66k., the greatest loss noted at any time during the 84 days of the investigation (Table XII). 2. Discussion of the Income and Outgo of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus After the Third Hemorrhage. — The third hemorrhage took place after the animal had apparently entirely recovered from the effect of the second hemorrhage and was again in a condition of approximate nitrogen equilibrium. This condition was repre- 37 sen'ted by a loss of 0.15 gram of nitrogen daily. Upon the day of the hemorrhage, as was also the case at each of the preceeding hemorrhages, the nitrogen content of the urine was the lowest of any day of the experiment. The second day, however, showed a very decided rise and the maximum was reached on the third day. The average nitrogen elimination was 11.669 grams daily, where- as for the five days preceeding the hemorrhage the dog eliminated an average of 10.421 grams daily. Therefore the hemorrhage and its associated influences caused an increased output of nitro- gen amounting in the aggregate to 1.248 grams daily. It will be recognized that this was almost precisely the same as the com- bined influence of the anaesthesia, operation and hemorrhage at the first withdrawal of blood, the difl:erence being but 0.009 gram. The increase in nitrogen after the second hemorrhage was somewhat greater and was probably due, in part, as has already been stated, to the cumulative diuretic effect of the anaesthesia which appreciably raised the urine volume. After the third hem- orrhage, however, as we have seen, the anaesthetic having been administered for a shorter period, this large urine volume was not apparent but the average volume for the period was 53 cc. less than after the second hemorrhage and 12 cc. less than after the first hemorrhage (Table XII). After making the proper correction for the influence of the anaesthesia (See p. 75) we secured 2.185 grams (Table XIX) as the increase in the nitrogen output due to the combined influ- ence of the operation and loss of blood ; and correcting further for the operation, we obtained as the net influence of the hemorrhage an increase of 0.479 gram in the daily nitrogen elimination. The balance for the last four days of the experiment (Table IV) show- ed an increase of 0.265 gram in the daily nitrogen elimination, while the data for the entire experiment, owing to the brevity of the period as well as to the greatly increased elimination of the first few days, showed a daily increase of 0.751 gram. The excretion of sulphur apparently ran closely parallel with that of nitrogen, the sulphur balance indicating a daily increase of 0.229 gram (Table \T). The excretion of phosphorus on the other hanrl. in close agreement with the ob.servations after the first anrl second hemorrhages, showed a gain of 0.065 gram for each day of the period (Table VTI). 38 Vn. FOURTH HEMORRHAGE. By referring to the proper data it will be seen that the period between the third and fourth hemorrhages was much shorter than that between the first and second, or between the second and third. Furthermore it will be recognized that the fourth hemorrhage was instituted before the dog was as near a condition of nitrogen equilibrium as upon the former occasions. It will be remembered that after the first hemorrhage the dog was brought to nitrogen equilibrium in i6 days, whereas 21 days were necessary to secure a like result after the second hemorrhage. Gathering from these facts that it would probably take three weeks or longer to bring the organism to nitrogen equilibrium after the third hemorrhage, we decided to observe the influence of the hemorrhage over a small number of days, and, when we had secured approximate equilibrium, to follow with another hemorrhage. Then as we al- ready had data for three hemorrhages when the dog was at nitro- gen equilibrium, we decided at this point that an interesting study could be made of hemorrhages at short intervals upon this same animal, no attempt being made to secure nitrogen equilibrium. Therefore the period following the third hemorrhage was termi- nated, and the fourth hemorrhage produced, at a point where the dog was losing 0.265 gram of nitrogen daily. At the time of the fourth hemorrhage the dog was able to walk about comfortably, but was not in as normal a condition as upon the occasion of the former hemorrhages. The right femoral artery just above the point at which the saphenous branch left it, was selected as the site of the hemorrhage. After 200 grams of blood had been drawn the arterial pressure was so low that only a slight flow was secured. The blood clotted very rapidly, neces- sitating frequent changes of the rubber tube. The body of the beast was freely massaged above the incision, and the cannula and rubber tube were frequently cleaned by means of a long platinum wire, but even after using the greatest efforts to secure the best conditions for a satisfactory hemorrhage a slow dropping was the maximum rate of flow. Thinking that perhaps the clot might ex- tend back into the artery the platinum wire was frequently insert- ed for some distance into the vessel at the risk of puncture. After securing about 400 grams of blood the first cannula was removed 39 and a second one inserted a short distance above the first. Here however with fresh cannula and rubber tube the flow was not rapid enough to prevent clotting in both tube and cannula. The tube was discarded and blood collected directly from the cannula but the flow was not accelerated. It being evident that the hem- orrhage had continued to a point where the arterial pressure was insufificient. the attempt to withdraw additional blood was aban- doned. Therefore at 10.19 the administration of ether was dis- continued, the wound sewed up and the animal returned to his cage. The usual schedule follows: — 8.29 A. M., anaesthesia be- gun (ether). 8.37, trace of chloroform. 8.55, operation begun. 9.16. cannula inserted. 9.18, hemorrhage begun. 9.57, second can- nula inserted to facilitate flow. 10.18, hemorrhage ended, making a total collection of 444.5 grams of blood. 10.19, second cannula out and ether stopped. Tongue extremely w^hite. 10.31, wound sewed up. 10.36. in cage. 10.43, returning consciousness. 10.56, sits up. The period of anaesthesia of this experiment was two hours and fourteen minutes, being somewhat longer than that of the third hemorrhage and essentially the same as those of the first and second hemorrhages. There was practically no salivation at this operation.^ The total blood lost to the organism was 449.3 grams. I. Observations on the Influence of the Fourth Hemorrhage, with a Discussion of the Income and Outgo of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus. — An interesting condition was noted after this hemorrhage for the first time during our experiments. This was a loss of api)etite on the part of the dog. At the usual meal hour the animal was given his food, but contrary to custom, he ate very little of the mix- ture, and a large part of that eaten was water. About five minutes later he was again offered the food while he was lying clown. This time he ate the entire amount, but did not evince his accustomed eagerness. The same lack of appetite was noted upon the next day also. There was no excretion of urine for 12 hours after the hemor- rhage (Table V). The urine volume on the day of the hemor- 1 Preliminary to the operation the wound from the tliird lit-niorrhage was flushed and the collateral circulation noted. 40 rhage was 463 cc. (Table XII) and this was followed by a grad- ual rise until the maximum excretion of 770 cc. was reached on the third day. This volume was also the largest output of any day during the investigation. The usual decrease in body weight was noticed after this hemorrhage. An examination of the data showed a greatly increased nitrogen excretion. This increase, after correcting for anaesthesia-opera- tion, was 2.506 grams (Table XIX) and was about 5 times as great as that observed after the first and third hemorrhages and about 2y2 times as great as that after the second hemorrhage. This evidently showed quite forcibly the cumulative efifect of suc- cessive hemorrhages upon proteid catabolism. The days following the hemorrhages gave an average increase of 0.348 gram in the sulphur elimination. In agreement with the nitrogen increase this increased excretion of sulphur was the largest of any period during the investigation. For the first time the post hemorrhagic efifect upon the phos- phorus output was an increased elimination. There was an aver- age daily increase of 0.180 gram (Tables VII and XIX). VIII. FIFTH HEMORRHAGE. No efforts were made to get the dog into nitrogen equilibrium after the fourth hemorrhage, it being thought best to determine the effect of another very severe hemorrhage before the organ- ism had been given time to recover, in any great degree, from the loss of blood occasioned by the fourth hemorrhage. The same procedure was followed as at the other hemorrhages, the blood being drawn from the right femoral artery above the point of the fourth hemorrhage. X'o pulse could be felt at the point determined upon for the in- cision, but thinking the artery had changed position and become more deeply imbedded in the tissues the incision was made. After locating the artery it was found to be completely closed by a blood clot which extended some distance above the incision of the fourth hemorrhage. This necessitated another incision farther up. It was determined to be guided entirely by the condition of the subject as to the amount of the hemorrhage, as the loss of blood was to be carried to the extreme limit. 41 After a hemorrhage of 317.5 grams or 2.46% of the body weight had been produced, it was very apparent, from the condi- tion of the animal, that approaching death was indicated, and the flow of blood was suspended. The number of red corpuscles in the blood at this point was found to be 1,800,000 per cubic milli- meter, thus indicating a very anaemic state. In spite of very vigorous stirring in the presence of 25% NaCl solution, the blood, while possessing a very thin watery appear- ance as it flowed from the artery, soon coagulated. The whole mass was filled with light colored flakes due to the greatly in- creased number of leucocytes. After being placed in his cage, and having recovered from the eflfect of the ether, the animal failed to show his habitual desire to sit up, but lay in a collapsed condition on the bottom of the cage. At 12 o'clock, two hours after the hemorrhage, his respira- tion was 9 and his pulse 152 per minute. At i P. M. 152 cc. of urine was passed having a specific gravity of 1.0255, rr.uch high- er than any former urine had shown on the day of hemorrhage. At 4 P. M. his extremities were cold, axillary temperature was subnormal, and in spite of the greatest efforts to preserve his life the animal died 3 hours later. I. Post-mortem Examination. — The bladder was removed and 14 cc. of urine with a specific gravity of 1.036 (the highest of any sample during the entire investigation) was secured. From our records it was learned that the dog urinated last at i P. M. and therefore this 14 cc. of urine represented the total urine formation for f} hours. Ordinarily the animal would have passed over 100 cc. during a period of that length. All of the animal's organs were extremely pale, and showed practically no tendency to bleed when cut. Even the heart was blanched and upon laying it open, a very small clot in the left ventricle was the only blood to be found. In general the i)Ost-mortem examination showed conclusively that a very great portion of the animal's blood had been removed. As only about 300 cc. of blood was taken at the fifth hemorrhage, it was evident that the regeneration of the volume during the period since the fourth hemorrhage had been exceedingly slow. 42 C— SECOND SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS. This second series of experiments was much shorter than the first series and was made principally for the purpose of check- ing, upon another organism., the results from our first series. In this second series the experiments were made upon a dog weigh- ing 11.85kg. In our first series the influence of anaesthesia-operation was not determined until after the animal had been subjected to a prelim- inary hemorrhage. In the present series, however, after getting the organism into a condition of approximate nitrogen equilibrium by means of a preliminary period, the influence, of anaesthesia- operation was studied before any blood was drawn. Following this, after returning to equilibrium, the efifect of hemorrhage was studied. The diet as shown by Table XV, was qualitatively the same as that of the first series of experiments. I. Preliminary Experiment. In a preliminary period of nine days, during which the dog was fed a constant diet, the organism was brought to approximate nitrogen equilibrium. For this period, as may be seen from an examination of Table XVI, there was an average daily loss of but o.io gram of nitrogen to the body. The organism was there- fore in an exceptionally good condition for the study of the influ- ence of anaesthesia-operation. II. Influence of Anaesthesia-Operation. As has been said, the influence of anaesthesia-operation in the first series of experiments was not determined until after the or- ganism had been subjected to an initial hemorrhage. In order to secure additional data the influence of anaesthesia-operation was determined in the second series before the first hemorrhage. As usual, the femoral artery was laid bare just above the point at which the saphenous branch is given off. The incision was longer and deeper than at any previous operation, in order to demonstrate to the full any influence exerted by this operative 43 procedure. The schedule of operations was as follows : — 8.22 A. M.. anaesthesia begun. 8.26, trace of chloroform given. 8.55, incision made. 9.20, wound sewed up. 9.45, returning conscious- ness. 10.00. dog sat up. This animal was evidently more suc- ceptible to the influence of the ether than the former beast as was evidenced by the ease with which the preliminary anaesthesia was conducted as well as by the weakness of the animal after con- sciousness had returned. The influence of anaesthesia-operation was studied through a period of nine days. Here as in the case of the first series of ex- periments, the anaesthesia-operation was followed by an imme- diate rise in the excretion of nitrogen by the urine. The average daily output of nitrogen by the urine, during the preliminary period was 'j.'/'ii grams (Table XVII). On the first day of the anaesthesia-operation period the nitrogen elimination was increas- ed to 8.56 grams (Table X\TI) and the average daily output for the first three days of the period was 9.12 grams. Taking the whole nine days into consideration the average daily output of nitrogen by the urine was 8.79 grams. The balance for the period showed a daily loss of 1.09 grams of nitrogen to the organism (Table X\'I). At the beginning of the period the organism was losing o.io gram of nitrogen daily, and correcting for this we see that the net effect of the anaesthesia-operation upon the excretion of nitrogen has been to increase the output on an average 0.99 gram per day. The general tendency of the sulphur excretion to follow a course similar to that of the nitrogen excretion was noted here. By means of the preliminary period of nine days the organism was placed in a condition of almost exact sulphur equilibrium, the average daily loss being 0.00 1 gram (Table XVIII). The in- fluence of the anaesthesia-operation was shown in the form of an increased sulphur excretion. During this period the organism showed an average daily loss of 0.053 gram, thus signifying that the sulphur excretion was increased 0.052 gram daily as the ef- fect of the anaesthesia-operation, or a total increase of 0.496 gram for the nine days. As usual the phosphorus excretion showed a slight decrease as the effect of the anaesthesia-operation. The animal at the open- 44 ing of the period was losing 0.03 gram of phosphorus daily (Table XVIII). Under the intiuence of the anaesthesia-operation the phosphorus excretion decreased a trifle, making the average daily loss for the period 0.025 gram. III. Influence of Hemorrhage. Upon June 20 a hemorrhage was induced in the left femoral artery. The blood was withdrawn rapidly in this case, the total amount of blood taken aggregating 342.5 grams or 3.11% of the body weight of the animal. Due to the rapidity of the hemor- rhage there were profound disturbances of pulse and respiration, but these were of short duration. The schedule of operations was as follows: — 8.15 A. M., anaesthesia begun. 8.20, chloroform given. 8.35, operation begun. 8.50, cannula inserted. 8.53, hemorrhage begun. 9.00, hemorrhage ended. 9.02, cannula re- moved. 9.15, wound sewed up. 9.20, anaesthesia discontinued and dog returned to cage. 9.50, dog stood up. In complete agreement with the data for the combined effect of hemorrhage and anaesthesia-operation in the first series of exper- iments, we also find here in the second series that a considerable increase in the excretion of nitrogen by the urine resulted. The average daily excretion of nitrogen was 9.47 grams for the period of five days following the hemorrhage (Table XVII). The nitrogen balance for this period showed an average daily loss of 1.88 grams (Table XVI). Correcting this for the normal daily loss of o.io gram, determined in the preliminary period, we find that the combined effect of hemorrhage and anaesthesia-operation has been to cause an average daily increase of 1.78 grams in the excretion of nitrogen. And correcting further for the influence of anaesthesia-operation (0.99 gram), we find that the withdrawal of 342.5 grams of blood^ was instrumental in causing an average daily increase of 0.79 gram in the nitrogen excretion throughout a period of five days. As usual the course of the sulphur excretion was similar to that of nitrogen, while the phosphorus excretion instead of being increased by the hemorrhage was slightly decreased (Table XVIII). IThe analysis of this blood was as follows : Nitrogen, 3.17 per cent.; sulphur, 0.156 per cent.; phosphorus, 0.48 per cent. 45 D.— ALTERATIONS IN THE SPECIFIC GRAV- ITY, AND IN THE NITROGEN, SULPHUR AND PHOSPHORUS CONTENT OF THE BLOOD FOLLOWING HEMORRHAGE. The first and second hemorrhages being separated from each other by a period of nearly six weeks may be considered initial hemorrhages. That is, the composition of the blood drawn on Dec. 23 cannot be considered as the composition of the blood as effected by the hemorrhage of Nov. 14, for it is well known that the influence of a very severe hemorrhage would, so far as the composition of the blood is concerned, have disappeared long be- fore the second hemorrhage. Hence the blood drawn on Dec. 23 may be considered normal blood. Of the elements under consideration the nitrogen appeared to be the only one effected in any uniform manner by the successive hemorrhages. With this element beginning Dec. 23, which may be considered the commencement of the series of hemorrhages, we note, by referring to Table II, the normal nitrogen content of the blood to be 2.85%. Three weeks later the third hemorrhage showed a nitrogen content of 2.38^, while following this, after an interval of one week, the fourth hemorrhage gave us a nitrogen value of 1.848%, and after a short interval of four days at the fifth and final hemorrhage the minimum point v/as reached and the surprisingly low nitrogen value of 1.421% was recorded. Thus the effect of four successive hemorrhages in a period of one month on the nitrogen content of the blood had been to decrease the amount from 2.85% to 1.421%, a decrease of more than 50%. There was an actual decrease of 16%; in the nitrogen content of the blood at the third hemorrhage, of 22% at the fourth hemor- rhage and of 23% at the fifth hemorrhage. The time between the hemorrhages decreasing as it did from three weeks to only four days at the final hemorrhage, there seems to have been a very pro- nounced cumulative effect of some kind which produced in four days time a greater percentage decrease in the content of nitrogen than was previously secured after a lapse of three weeks. 46 The sulphur did not exhibit the same regularity as the nitrogen. It coincided, however, in showing the minimum output following the last hemorrhage. The content of phosphorus also was not governed by any uniformity, but differed radically from the nitro- gen and sulphur in showing the maximum percentage at the last hemorrhage. Hence the maximum phosphorus occurred coin-, cidently with the minimum sulphur, and the minimum phosphorus with the maximum sulphur (See analyses for fourth hemor- rhage). The specific gravity was lowered at each successive hemor- rhage, falling from 1.0625 ^^ ^^^ ^^^^ hemorrhage to 1.047 ^^ the fourth. The blood from the fifth hemorrhage showed a greatly increased specific gravity. This was due to the fact that the blood immediately after withdrawal, even in the presence of the 25% NaCl solution, showed a tendency to coagulate. This of course prevented the accurate determination of its specific gravity, and made the specific gravity as determined much too high. We are satisfied that the blood as drawn from the animal had a very low specific gravity as it was extremely thin and watery. Without doubt it was lower than that of any of the samples previously ex- amined. E.— RELATION BETWEEN TOTAL NITROGEN AND VOLUME OF URINR The ratio between the nitrogen content of the urine and the urine volume showed quite decided fluctuations under different experimental conditions. Starting with a ratio of i :55-9 for the preliminary experiment (Table XIII), the first hemorrhage pro- duced a very decided lowering of the ratio, the relation at this time being i 145 .8. During the latter part of the first hemor- rhage experiment the ratio gradually rose and at the time nitro- gen equilibrium had been reached it was i :54.5. The anaesthetic through its diuretic action now forced the ratio still higher, the maximum point being reached during the last days of the anaesthesia experiment. This was evidently due to the cumulative diuretic effect of the ether. From the result obtained 47 during the first days of the anaesthesia experiment we would natu- rally expect a rise in the ratio during the first days of the anaes- thesia-operation experiment. Here, however, although the anaes- thesia was of the same duration as before, instead of a rise we ob- tained a fall. This evidently indicated that the individual influ- ence of the operation had been partly to overcome the rise due to anaesthesia. The ratio rose slightly higher during the following days of the experiment, but was at no time higher than the normal ratio of the preliminary experiment. The second hemorrhage produced a corresponding fall to that observed after the first hemorrhage with a similar rise dtiring the later days of the experiment. The third, fourth and fifth hemor- rhages, while not strictly comparable with the first and second hemorrhages, each showed a low ratio, those of the fourth and fifth (I 143.0 and i 140.3) being the lowest of the whole investiga- tion. This rapid fall in the ratio after the fourth and fifth hemor- rhages was evidently due to the fact that while the regenerative activities caused a large increase in proteid decomposition a cor- responding increase in water output was impossible since the water content of the body had been so greatly decreased by the excessive blood-letting. R— DISCUSSION OF RESULTS. The data from our experiments indicate that the loss of blood by an organism is followed immediately by an increased proteid catabolism. And furthermore, it was plainly demonstrated, by a series of hemorrhages on the same organism brought to a condi- tion of nitrogen equilibrium before each loss of blood, that there is a tendency under such conditions for the catabolism of proteid to become more and more pronounced as the series progresses. This was shown by a daily increase of 1.257 grams in the nitrogen elimination as the result of a hemorrhage of 2.93% of the body weight of the animal, followed some weeks later by a daily in- crease of 3.275 grams in the nitrogen elimination after a hemor- rhage of 3.26% of the body weight. 48 The influence of the anaesthesia to which the animal was sub- jected was to cause a daily decrease of 0.937 gram in the nitrogen output.^ Another influencing factor was the operation which was shown of itself to cause an increased proteid catabolism, the aver- age daily nitrogen elimination being increased 1.706 grams. Now taking the values named in the above paragraph as representing the gross influence of the hemorrhage, and correcting them for the influence of the anaesthesia and of the operation, we see that the net efl^ect of the hemorrhage alone (Table XIX) was to cause a daily increase in the nitrogen elimination varying from 0.488 gram after a loss of blood amounting to 2.93% of the body weight, to 2.506 grams after a hemorrhage of 3.26% of the body weight. The influence of the hemorrhage and its accompanying factors upon the excretion of sulphur was similar to that noted in the case of nitrogen. The daily increase in the sulphur excretion follow- ing hemorrhage varied from 0.023 gram to 0.348 gram, and the increase due to the anaesthesia-operation was 0.119 gram daily. The anaesthesia of itself caused a daily decrease of 0.128 gram in the sulphur excretion. The phosphorus excretion, with a single exception, was influ- enced by hemorrhage and its associated factors in a manner di- rectly opposite to that in which the nitrogen and sulphur excre- tions were influenced. In the case of the phosphorus the net in- fluence of the hemorrhage alone was to cause a decrease in the elimination, the daily decrease varying from 0.163 gram to 0.065 gram. The anaesthesia-operation caused a daily decrease of 0.148 gram and the anaesthesia alone caused a daily increase of 0.108 gram. The decrease in the elimination of phosphorus after hem- orrhage we believe to be due primarily to the unusual demands made upon nuclear material for the construction of leucocytes and nucleated erythrocytes. Upon the day of the hemorrhage the urine volume was invar- iably sub-normal, but following this came a greatly increased out- put of urine which generally reached its maximum on the third or fourth day after the hemorrhage. This increase in the urine volume was partly due no doubt to the diuretic influence of the anaesthetic. Furthermore, the animal received a uniform supply IHawk : Proceedings of the American Physiological Society, 1903. 49 of water daily and this supply was sufficient for the dog under normal conditions as was witnessed by the promptness with which nitrogen equilibrium was reached. Upon withdrawing a large amount of blood, however, this normal water supply was more than sufficient for the needs of the altered metabolism, and there- fore a portion of the excess was excreted. As was to have been expected this large urine volume was accompanied by an increased elimination of nitrogen, this increase being due in part to a flush- ing-out of the tissues as well as to a direct stimulation of proteid catabolism.^ The body weight of the animal decreased very materially on the day of the hemorrhage, the decrease being due apparently as much to the influence of the anaesthesia- as to the effect of the loss of blood. The well konwn leucocytosis followed the hemorrhages and a decrease in the number of erythrocytes was also noted. As has already been stated on page 41, a most remarkable leucocytosis was observed at the time of the fifth hemorrhage. The appetite of the subjects, with the single exception noted, (page 39). continued uniformly good throughout the experi- ments, even when the body weight of the animal had decreased very considerably. The regular normal diet which was just suffi- cient to bring the organism weighing about 17kg. to nitrogen equilibrium was very probably in excess of the needs of the body when the weight had been reduced to about 13kg. at the time of the fourth hemorrhage. Therefore this excessive amount of pro- teid material may have tended to stimulate proteid catabolism and thus assisted in the production of the maximum increase in the nitrogen elimination which was observed at that time. G.— CONCLUSIONS. I. Hemorrhages of 2.9% to 3.5% of the body weight u])on dc^s fed a constant diet and in a condition of nitrogen equilib- rium, caused an increased urinary elimination of nitrogen and sul- phur and a decreased elimination of phosphorus. ' Hawk : fniversity of Pennsylvania Medical Bulletin, igo.s.XVIII., 7. 2 Hawk : Proceedings of the American Pliysiological Society, 1903. 50 2. Ether anaesthesia incident to ordinary surgical procedure was followed by a decreased elimination of nitrogen and sulphur and an increased elimination of phosphorus and chlorine. 3. The combined effect of the ether anaesthesia and the opera- tive procedure was to cause an increased elimination of nitrogen, sulphur and chlorine and a decreased elimination of phosphorus. 4. After hemorrhages of 2.9% to 3.5% of the body weight there was an immediate decrease in the volume of urine. This decrease was followed after the first day by an increase and the maximum urine volume generally occurred on the third or fourth day after the hemorrhage. 5. Ether anaesthesia unaccompanied by loss of blood, produced an immediate diuresis which caused the maximum urine volume to appear vipon the day of the anaesthesia. 6. Successive hemorrhages on the same organism caused a gradual decrease in the nitrogen and sulphur content of the blood, and a less regular decrease in the phosphorus content. 7. In a series of hemorrhages the specific gravity of the blood gradually decreased to the end of the series. 8. Repeated hemorrhages at intervals of from one to five weeks caused the coagulation rate of the blood to shorten very percepti- bly, particularly at the end of the series. 9. A decrease in body weight followed hemorrhage. 10. There was a pronounced leucocytosis and a decrease in the number of erythrocytes after hemorrhage. 11. Hemorrhage caused no disturbance of the digestive func- tions and had no effect upon intestinal putrefaction. The author wishes to express his sincere thanks to Prof. W. J. Gies under whose direction this investigation was conducted. H.— BIBLIOGRAPHY, 1. Bauer : Zeitschrift fiir Biologie, 1872, VIII., p. 567. Miinchener Medicinische Wochenschrift, 1892, 39, p. 537 2.

Philip Bovier Hawk graduated from Wesleyan University in 1898 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. During the next two years (1898-1900) he was assistant to Prof. W. O. Atwater of We.sleyan University. During this time he also did graduate work in the University and received the degree of Master of Science in 1900. As a university scholar, in 1900- 1901, he pur- sued graduate studies in physiological cheniistr}^ and physiology in Yale University and in 1902 received the degree of Master of Science from that institution. He served as assistant in physi- 54 ological chemistry in Columbia University (College of Physicians and Surgeons) during 1901-1903, at the same time pursuing graduate work in physiological chemistry. In 1903 the degree of Doctor of Philosophy was conferred upon him by Columbia University. He is a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Xi, the Ameri- can Physiological Society and the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. J.— PUBLICATIONS. 1.
