Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ...1876, page 742. The following is my own estimate, according to Dr. Pavy's figures, for that day. Second Twenty-four Hours Op Weston's Six Days' Walk. Quantities of Food. Nitrogen of Food. Cooked meat, 1 lb. 6J oz. (15'31 grs. of nitrogen per oz.), 344475 grains. Three yelks of eggs (6-45 grs. of nitrogen in each), 19-350 Four poached eggs (16-62 grs. of nitrogen in each), 66-480 Jelly, 1 pt. 3 oz. (2-62 grs. of nitrogen per fluid oz.), 49'780 Beef-tea from fresh meat, pt.

(1'40 gr. of nitro-gen allowed for butter), 13-100 Potatoes, 3 oz. (1'44 gr. of nitrogen per oz.), . 4320 Coffee, 2J oz. (I assume that this is coffee roasted and ground, and that 1 oz. gives 8 oz. of in-fusion, containing 0-481 gr. of nitrogen per fluid oz.), . 10582 Tea, 1 oz....
