The daily entrance of nitrogen during the same period was 20 grms., viz. 16 grms. in the oatmeal and 4 grms. in the milk. To estimate the effect of exercise and alcohol on the elimination of nitro- gen, the urinary and the alvine exits must be separately considered. The mean daily discharge of the urinary nitrogen of the sixteen days is 15*6 grms. If the mean amounts of the different periods are looked at, it will be seen how little they deviate from the m.ean. There is, however, in
