II. EXPERIMENTS WITH VOLUNTEERS FROM THE HOSPITAL CORPS OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
Reading edition
The original Detachment from the Hospital Corps of the United States Army detailed to serve in this series of experiments arrived in New Haven September 28, 1903, under the command of Dr. Wallace DeWitt, 1st Lieutenant and assistant Surgeon of the United States Army. The detail was composed of twenty men, of whom fourteen were privates, volunteers for the experiment, the remainder being made up of non-commissioned officers, cook, cook’s helper, etc. The detachment was located in a convenient house on Vanderbilt Square belonging to the Sheffield Scientific School, and there they lived during their six months’ stay in New Haven under military discipline, and subject to the constant surveillance of the commanding officer and the non-commissioned officers.
In selecting the men for the experiment particular attention was paid to securing as great a variety of types as possible, representing different nationalities, temperaments, etc. Naturally, among such a group of enlisted men brought together for the purpose in view many were found unsuited for various reasons, and were quickly exchanged for others better adapted for the successful carrying out of the experiment. Several quickly deserted, apparently not relishing the restrictions under which they were compelled to live. The restriction which constituted the greatest hardship in the eyes of several of the men was the regularity of life insisted upon, and the consequent restraint placed upon their movements in the city when relieved from duty. The following Statement from Dr. DeWitt will explain the causes of removal of the men who dropped out of the experiment during the natural sifting process of the first few weeks and later.
Hospital Corps Detachment U. S. Army, 332 Temple St., New Haven, Conn., March 17, 1904.
Professor Russell H. Chittenden, Director Sheffield Scientific School, New Haven, Conn.
Sir,—In compliance with your verbal request concerning men of this detachment lost by transfer and desertion and the reasons therefor, I have the honor to inform you that the following men were lost by transfer, at my request, for the reasons set after their respective names:
Private Edward Mcdermott (October 17, 1903). Mentally and morally unsuited.
Private Paul Forkel (October 18, 1903). Physically unsuited.
Private David Acker (October 24, 1903). Physically unsuited by reason of Acute Pulmonary Tuberculosis Bilateral.
Private William C. Witzig (November 17, 1903). Physically unsuited by reason of Cardiac Irritability.
Private Philip S. Myer (December 11, 1903). Physically unsuited by reason of very high grade of Myopia both eyes.
Private first class Charles P. Davis (January 14, 1904). Physically unsuited by reason of Acute Melancholia.
Private Barnard Bates (February 12, 1904). Morally and mentally unsuited by reason of Drunkenness.
In all these men, except Private Davis, the condition for which they were transferred was present when they reported for duty with the detachment.
In the case of Private Davis, his condition of acute melancholia in my opinion was incident to the experiment,—due to the necessary restrictions of liberty and food, assisted by a natural gloomy disposition.
The following men were lost by desertion:
Private first class Samuel R. Curtis (November 3, 1903).
Private first class William Smith (November 5, 1903).
Private Simon Prins (January 23, 1904).
Private Edwin A. Rinard (February 3, 1904).
Of these men Private first class Smith and Private Prins were on duty in the kitchen and were at no time subject to restriction of diet and liberty. Private first class Curtis deserted before the experiment was well under way and can not be attributed to any cause arising out of the investigation. Private Rinard’s desertion was in my opinion due to the restrictions of diet and liberty incident to the experiment. I would say, however, that this man was a worthless character and was discharged “without honor” from the army during a previous enlistment.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) Wallace Dewitt, 1st Lieut. and Asst. Surgeon U. S. Army, Commdg. Detachment.
As supplementing Dr. DeWitt’s statement it may be mentioned that Rinard reported for the experiment at New Haven on December 11, 1903, and remained here until February 2, 1904. On December 11 he weighed 59.8 kilos, while on February 2, the last day he was here, his body-weight was 60 kilos. Evidently, any restriction of diet he may have suffered had not made any great impression upon his bodily condition.
There were thirteen men of the detachment who really took part in the experiment, and of these all but four were in the original detail. Of these four, two joined in October and two early in November. Of these thirteen, all but two continued to the close of the experiment, April 4, 1904.
The following statement gives the name, age, birthplace, occupation, length of service (U. S. Army), etc. of the thirteen men.
It will be noted that the men range in age from twenty-one years six months to forty-three years, and that representatives of many countries are on the list.
Regarding the duties of the men, i. e., their daily work, the following statement from Dr. DeWitt will give all needed information on this point. The character of the Gymnasium work will be referred to later.

Sir,—In compliance with your verbal request I have the honor to inform you that the duties of this detachment during the tour of duty at this station have been as follows:—
At 6.45 A. M. the men arise and their body-weights are taken immediately, after which they dress and assemble for reveille roll-call.
7.15. Breakfast. After this meal they are all engaged in various duties about the quarters, such as inside and outside police, kitchen police, assisting in measurement of urine and fæces and transportation of the same to the laboratory; cleansing of fæces cans and urine bottles, etc. They are occupied with these various duties until about 9 A. M.
9 A. M. Detachment proceeds to Gymnasium under charge of a non-commissioned officer, and by him reported to the gymnastic instructor.
11 A. M. Detachment returns from Gymnasium.
12 M. Dinner.
1 P. M. Drill, weather permitting, otherwise a walk in charge of a non-commissioned officer, or indoor instruction relative to the duties of a soldier.
2 P. M. Relief from drill; walk, or instruction.
2.30 P. M. Instruction by a non-commissioned officer in their duties as nurses, etc.
3.30 P. M. Relief from instruction.
5 P. M. Supper.
5.30 P. M. Retreat roll-call.
10 P. M. All men in bed.
This routine is the same for every day in the week except Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday drill and instruction in the afternoon are omitted, and on Sundays the men are also free from gymnasium work.
In addition to the duties mentioned above, a special detail of two men is made every morning to assist in the weighing and serving of the food, and from time to time details are sent to the laboratory and reported to Dr. Mendel for such work connected with the investigation as he might assign them.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) Wallace DeWitt, 1st Lieut. and Asst. Surgeon U. S. Army, Commdg. Det. H. C.
Here we have a group of men, thirteen in number, quite different in type from the preceding group; men accustomed to living a vigorous life under varying conditions, and who naturally had great liking for the pleasures of eating. Further, they were men who had no personal interest whatever in the experiment or in the principles involved. To be sure, they had volunteered for the work, and the objects of the experiment had been fully explained to them. Like good soldiers they no doubt desired to obey orders, and they doubtless preferred to see the experiment a success rather than a failure, but they had not that interest that would lead them to undergo any great personal discomfort. This point should be kept in mind, since it has a distinct bearing upon the possibility of establishing physiological economy of diet in persons who would not willingly incommode themselves or suffer personal inconvenience.
The experiment commenced on October 4, 1903, and for a period of six months every detail bearing upon the nutrition and condition of the men under the gradually changed conditions was carefully observed. Every precaution to preserve the health and good spirits of the men was taken. Pure distilled water was sent to the quarters each morning, magazines and other periodicals were supplied through the courtesy of friends, occasional visits to the theatre were indulged in; in fact all that could be done to counterbalance any possible depressing influence from the partial restraints of the experiment was arranged for.
Showing a group of the soldiers at work in the gymnasium.
Regarding the details of the work; the twenty-four hours’ urine was collected by each man, also the fæces for each day, and these were subjected to chemical analysis with a view to following out the various changes in the amount and character of the proteid metabolism going on in the body as measured by the output of total nitrogen, uric acid, and phosphoric acid in the urine, and by the amount of nitrogen in the fæces with reference to the degree of digestion and utilization of the proteid foods ingested.
During the first two weeks the ordinary army rations were given to the men; later a gradual change was made, accompanied by a reduction in the amount of proteid food, with some reduction likewise in the total fuel value of the food. All the food placed before each man was carefully weighed, and at the close of every meal any uneaten food was weighed and the amount subtracted from the initial weights. During the balance periods, when the income and output of nitrogen were carefully compared, the food materials were weighed with greater care and large samples of each article were taken for analysis, to determine the exact content of nitrogen. Every figure for nitrogen shown in the tables was verified by at least a duplicate chemical analysis so as to avoid any possibility of error.
It is not necessary to give here any detailed description of the changes made in the character of the diet, since on pages 288 to 326 may be found the daily dietary from October 2, 1903, to April 4, 1904,—each meal of the day,—showing the amount and character of the food given the men during the six months period. It should be stated, however, that at no time were the men placed on a cereal diet or on a truly vegetable diet. The object in view was simply to study the possibilities of a general physiological economy in diet, with special reference to the minimal proteid requirement of the healthy man. To be sure, in doing this meats, owing to their high content of proteid, were very much reduced in amount and on many days no meat at all was given, but as the dietary is looked through it will be seen that the main change was from a heavy meat diet (rich in proteid) to a lighter diet, comparatively poor in proteid, with an increasing predominance of vegetable and cereal foods. Condiments are also noticeable in the diet, together with the ordinary accessories, coffee and tea. Variety was also considered as a necessary factor, not to be overlooked, as contributing largely to the maintenance of a proper physiological condition.
From a study of the tables which follow, showing the chemical composition of the daily urine, it will be seen that during the first sixteen days, viz., from October 4 until October 20 or 21, when the men were on the ordinary army ration with opportunity to eat an abundance of meat, the daily urine frequently contained 16 to 17 grams of nitrogen, showing a metabolism of over 100 grams of proteid on such days. Sliney, indeed, averaged for four days an output of 18.19 grams of nitrogen, while Coffman, Henderson, and Zooman showed an average daily excretion of about 15 grams of nitrogen each for the sixteen days from October 4.

Any elaborate discussion of the individual results, tabulated in the foregoing tables, seems hardly necessary. To any one interested in the details of the work, a study of the tables themselves will give the necessary information. It may be well, however, to emphasize at once a few of the fundamental points most striking in character which bear upon the main problem. Take, for instance, the case of Oakman, where the data are recorded for every day from October 4, 1903, to April 4, 1904. The degree of proteid metabolism, as indicated by the excretion of nitrogen through the kidneys, is here shown for each day of the six months. Up to November 3, practically for a month, there was not observable any very noticeable change in the rate of proteid metabolism, but commencing with November 4, the nitrogen excretion dropped very rapidly, and as one glances through the daily records for month after month, it is seen that the daily nitrogen output through the kidneys fell to 6 to 8 grams per day, with a daily average excretion of 7.42 grams of nitrogen, as figured from October 21 to April 4.
Further, it will be noted that while the body-weight gradually declined during the first three months, falling from 66.7 kilos down to 62.3 kilos on January 18, from that date on to the close of the experiment the body-weight was practically constant. Here, then, we see, under the use of a prescribed diet quite sufficient in amount to satisfy the cravings of the appetite, a lowering of proteid metabolism equal to that obtained by the individuals of the preceding group. Again, if the body-weight of Oakman is placed at 64 kilos, as representing the average between the initial body-weight and the weight during the last three months, it will be found that the output of metabolized nitrogen per kilo of body-weight amounted to 0.116 gram; not widely different from similar data obtained with men of the preceding group.

Moreover, these results obtained with Oakman are practically duplicated by every other member of this group of soldiers detailed from the United States Army. No exception whatever is to be seen, but every man shows the same lowered proteid metabolism, with practical maintenance of body-weight, with complete satisfying of the appetite, and without loss of health, strength, or vigor, as will be enlarged upon later.
While in the case of Oakman, the nitrogen excreted was determined by an analysis made each day, in the case of the other men of this group the data are given mainly for weekly periods; the results being expressed, however, in the average daily amount for each seven days’ period. By comparing the figures for the daily excretion of nitrogen with the daily dietary, it is easy to trace out the influence of the changes in diet on the extent of nitrogen metabolism.
In considering the changes in the rate of proteid metabolism shown by all the members of this group, it will suffice for present purposes to deal mainly with the average results.
Compare now the average daily output of nitrogen through the urine from November 1 until April 4—a period of five months—of each of these men.

The figures given show an astonishingly low proteid metabolism for the five months’ period; 7.5 grams of nitrogen in the day’s urine correspond to 46.8 grams of proteid metabolized, while 8.5 grams of nitrogen mean the metabolism of 53.1 grams of proteid. In other words, all of these men during a period of five months practically averaged a daily output of nitrogen through the kidneys corresponding to the metabolism of less than one-half the 105 grams of absorbable proteid called for by the so-called standard diets. Further, close scrutiny of the results in the individual tables shows that during many weeks much lower results were obtained than is indicated by the general averages.
Just here emphasis should be laid upon one fact, doubtless of primary importance in any modification of the rate or extent of metabolism in any individual, viz., that in this experiment the daily diet was prescribed, thereby taking from the individual freedom of choice in the selection of food. The writer has no question in his own mind that an intelligent choice of food, coupled with the satisfying of a natural or acquired appetite in moderation, will lead to better results than any system of prescription as to what shall be eaten each day and in what quantity. Still, this is the method necessarily made use of in the present experiment, the writer having prescribed the character and amount of each meal throughout the entire six months’ period, with due regard, of course, to the expressed likes and dislikes of the men.
One feature in the diet compelled by the circumstances of the case also needs to be referred to, namely, the necessity of keeping the men thoroughly satisfied, so that there should be no feeling of hunger, no craving for food. With a person interested in the experiment and desirous of ascertaining the effect of a low nitrogen intake, there would naturally be a willingness to endure, if necessary, for a time some personal discomfort; but with this detail of the United States Army it could not be expected that the men would remain satisfied if they were compelled to undergo the pangs of hunger even for a day or two. Consequently, it was necessary in prescribing the daily diet to see that the quantity of the food was such as to completely satisfy the appetite. This necessitated the use of considerable bulky food of low fuel, and low nitrogen, value. In this way only was it feasible to reduce the nitrogen intake, as well as the fuel value of the food, to the desired level. Practically during the entire six months’ period, with the possible exception of a few days, the men were given sufficient food to completely satisfy their appetites. Throughout the entire period of the experiment, the men all manifested a keen appetite and utilized their food to good advantage, with establishment of the nitrogen metabolism indicated by the foregoing results.
Still confining our attention to the average results regarding nitrogen excretion, we may ask the question, what was the excretion of metabolized nitrogen per kilo of body-weight in the different individuals? This is easily calculated and the data are shown in the following table, in which the figures standing for body-weight are either the data for the month of April, 1904, or else the average between the October and April weights, as in those cases where the body-weight fell off during the experiment.

Scrutiny of these results shows that the daily excretion of metabolized nitrogen ranged in this period of five months from 0.106 gram per kilo of body-weight up to 0.150 gram per kilo of body-weight. Since these men were on essentially the same diet, it is obvious that there were some peculiarities, or personal idiosyncrasies, that tended to modify the exact extent of proteid metabolism, and in some cases at least constituted a more potent factor than body-weight in determining the rate of metabolism. This fact is clearly emphasized in the case of Morris, who, with a body-weight of 59 kilos, showed a proteid metabolism equivalent to only 7.03 grams of nitrogen per day, and Coffman, who, with a body-weight of 58 kilos, showed under the same conditions an average excretion of 8.17 grams of nitrogen per day.
What was the effect of this lowered proteid metabolism upon the bodily condition, especially body-weight? To answer this question the weights of the men are given in the following table, the one column of figures showing the body-weight at the commencement of the experiment, the other column showing the weight at the close of the experiment.

Comparison of these figures shows that six of the men were practically of the same body-weight at the close of the experiment as at the beginning. Of the others, Oakman, Fritz, Cohn, and Bates lost somewhat. Bates, however, was quite stout, and the work in the gymnasium as well as the change of diet tended to reduce his weight. In fact, with the possible exception of Oakman, the slight loss of weight these latter men underwent was a distinct gain to their bodily condition. The most significant feature, however, is to be found on scrutiny of the tables of results for each man, where is seen the body-weight for each day of the six months. Here it will be noticed that, as the experiment progressed, there was, as a rule, a tendency for the body-weight to increase; this was followed by a decline, after which the weight remained practically stationary. This is well illustrated in Oakman’s case. Starting with a body-weight of 66.7 kilos on October 4, he reached 67.6 kilos on November 29, then declining in weight to 62.3 on January 18, after which he remained practically stationary, or varied only within narrow limits.
