, p. 113. ANIMAL CHEMISTRY. 117 the disputed point of the absorption or non-absorp- tion of nitrogen from the air by animals, which he to a great extent effected, by showing that in an ani- mal so supplied with food that its weight remains for a long time unchanged, the nitrogen contained in that food always exceeds that voided in the excre- tions. At the same time an opportunity was afforded for examining the amount of carbon lost, by the aid of a similar comparison. It was found that in twent...y-four hours the cow consumed in respiration the enormous quantity of seventy ounces of carbon, and the horse seventy- seven ounces. Professor Liebig has lately applied Boussingault's method to the human subject. His mean result indicates an expenditure of about four- teen ounces of carbon daily, for well-fed, healthy men employed in labour in the open air, as soldiers : the amount is much smaller in those who lead a de- pressed or sedentary life. The diet-tables of the Royal Navy furnish the means of making an approximation to the quantity of carbon required for the respiratory process, in cir- cumstances extremely favourable to its activity.
