Experiment 19. — Showing by means of the phthysmograph the effectof the application of ice to the bend of the elbow in diminishingthe capacity of the blood-vessels of the hand and forearm (Fig.2S2, page log). Experiment 20. — Showing the effect upon the pulse rate of a pro-longed cold immersion with friction. The subject, J. T.

At the end of the experiment the patients pulse was 58. Experiment 21.— Sho2uiiig the effect of cold beverages upon thepulse 7ate and tension (page log). The subject, A. E. L,, was a young man aged 26 years, weight165 lbs., a normal pulse of 66, blood pressure 13.5 cm. as deter-mined by Gtertners tonometer. Five glassfuls of weak lemonadeat 50° were swallowed quickly. Examination of the pulse, madealmost immediately after, showed it to be slowed to 52, while thearterial tension, as indicated by the tonometer, was 14.5 cm. Experiment 22.— Showing the effect of the cold enema in loweringthe body temperature (page 116). (a) For the purpose of determining the effect of a cold enemaon the normal subject, water at 70° was passed in and out thecolon continuously for forty-five minutes, the subject being ayoung man of 21 years, weight
