Physiological Economy in Nutrition

II Experiments With Volunteers From the Hospital Corps of the United States Army

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.

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.

New Haven, Conn.

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.

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.

	Body-weight.	Average daily Output of Nitrogen. November-April.	Metabolized Nitrogen per kilo Body-weight.

Coffman	58.0	8.17	0.140
Davis	58.0	8.61	0.148
Zooman	55.0	8.25	0.150

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.

Finally, it should be said that the low proteid metabolism on which these men were apparently maintaining body-weight was not associated with any increase of non-nitrogenous food. At no time did the fuel value of the daily food reach 3000 calories; in fact, about January 12 the average fuel value of the food was only a little over 2000 calories per day.

First Nitrogen Balance

Early in January, the body-weight of the men having become practically stationary and the proteid metabolism, as measured by the output of metabolized nitrogen, having been reduced to a low level, an attempt was made to see if the men were truly in a condition of nitrogenous equilibrium. A six-day period was used, during which all the food for each meal was carefully analyzed, the nitrogen in every sample of food being determined in duplicate by the Kjeldahl-Gunning process. The fæces of the period were separated by lampblack, given at appropriate times in gelatin capsules, and all necessary precautions observed to insure an accurate nitrogen balance. The accompanying tables of results give all the necessary data.

The average nitrogen intake per day was 8.23 grams, and the average fuel value of the food per day was 2078 calories. These are the figures for Oakman. With some of the other men there were slight variations from these figures, as shown in the tables—owing to slight variations in diet. Without exception, all the men showed a minus balance, indicating that on this diet the body was losing nitrogen. In other words, the diet as a whole was insufficient for the needs of the body in every case. Whether this was due to lack of sufficient proteid or to an insufficient amount of fat and carbohydrate, i. e., a too low fuel value, cannot be said definitely, but there is every reason to believe that the amount of non-nitrogenous food was insufficient to furnish the requisite fuel value, and consequently body proteid was drawn upon to supply the deficiency. The loss of nitrogen to the body per day varied as a rule from 0.5 to 2.0 grams. In one case only, viz., Broyles, was there a close approach to a balance. In his case there was a minus balance of only 0.12 gram of nitrogen per day.

The average daily output of nitrogen through the urine for this six-days period (Oakman’s case) was 7.52 grams.

Second Nitrogen Balance

Commencing February 29, a second nitrogen balance was attempted with very different results. This balance period extended through seven days and was characterized by an average daily intake of 9.50 grams of nitrogen, an increase of 1.3 grams of nitrogen per day over the preceding period, together with an average fuel value of the food equal to 2500 calories per day.

The daily diet with its content of nitrogen, etc., is detailed under Oakman. Any variations (only slight ones) from this diet are indicated on the individual balance-sheets, corrections being made in the nitrogen intake.

In all of the men, with one exception, a distinct plus balance is seen, showing that under the conditions of this experiment the men were all storing up nitrogen. The plus balance per day varied from 0.132 gram to 1.231 grams of nitrogen.

The average daily output of nitrogen through the urine for this seven days’ period (Oakman’s case) was 7.24 grams, being 0.28 gram less per day than in the preceding period. Sliney, the one man who failed to show a positive balance, was apparently losing nitrogen at the rate of 0.48 gram per day during this period.

All of the individual data are shown in the accompanying tables of results:

Third Nitrogen Balance

The last of March, a third nitrogen balance was tried on a slightly lowered nitrogen intake and with a slight increase in the fuel value of the daily food. In this period of five days, March 28 to April 1, the nitrogen taken in per day averaged 8.62 grams, or nearly one gram per day less than in the preceding period. The fuel value of the food averaged 2840 calories per day, or about 300 calories more than in the preceding period.

The daily diet, with its content of nitrogen, etc., is detailed for each day under Oakman. Any deviation from this diet in the cases of the other men is indicated on the accompanying balance-sheets.

The results obtained in this balance period indicate that the lowest level had been practically reached, at least under the conditions of body-weight, food, and work prevailing. Cohn, Fritz, and Broyles showed a distinct positive balance. Steltz and Loewenthal were practically in equilibrium, the deviation being within the limits of error. The remaining six men showed a minus balance, although in no case was it very marked.

It is interesting to note in this connection that the average daily output of nitrogen through the urine for this five days’ period (Oakman’s case) amounted to 7.04 grams, being 0.2 gram less per day than in the preceding period. This figure for nitrogen in the urine means the metabolism daily of 44 grams of proteid.

Undoubtedly, the rate of proteid metabolism for these men could have been lowered considerably beyond the present level by increasing largely the intake of carbohydrates and fats, but it has been the intent throughout all of these experiments to learn the minimal proteid requirement under conditions precluding the use of any excess of non-nitrogenous foods; also, to study the effect of a general physiological economy in nutrition, with a view to ascertaining the real necessities of the body for both proteid and non-proteid foods with maintenance of bodily strength and vigor. Hence, we may again emphasize the fact that the low proteid metabolism maintained by all these men throughout the period of the experiment, with establishment of nitrogenous equilibrium on a consumption of proteid or albuminous food averaging one-half the amount ordinarily specified as the daily requirement of the healthy man, has been accomplished with even less total food—fats and carbohydrates—than the ordinary standards call for, i. e., considerably less than 3000 calories per day in fuel value.

Summary Regarding Nitrogen Requirement

These results obtained with this body of United States soldiers, living on a prescribed diet and exposed to the stress and strain of military discipline with its attendant duties, together with the gymnastic work and training required each day, confirm in every detail the conclusions arrived at with the preceding group of professional workers. Once accustomed to a more sparing proteid diet, less rich in nitrogen, each one of these subjects had no difficulty in maintaining body-weight on the simpler and lighter food provided. No great difficulty was experienced in establishing a condition of nitrogenous equilibrium with this lowered intake of proteid food, neither was it necessary to increase the amounts of non-nitrogenous foods (fats and carbohydrates) to accomplish this end. The bodies of these men were quite able to adjust themselves to a lowered proteid metabolism, and physiologically speaking, one might well conjecture whether we have not in this condition a nearer approach to the normal and ideal state of the body than when the latter is struggling daily with 118 grams of proteid food, reinforced by fats and carbohydrates correspondingly increased in amount. However this may be, the members of the soldier detail were able to live for five consecutive months with a proteid metabolism corresponding to 7 to 8 grams of nitrogen per day, with maintenance of body-weight and without discomfort or loss of bodily vigor.

It was easy in most instances to prove the establishment of nitrogen equilibrium with a daily intake of 8.5 to 9.5 grams of nitrogen, and with a total fuel value of the daily food equal to 2500 to 2800 calories. In other words, a metabolism of less than 50 grams of proteid per day was quite sufficient for the needs of the body, and a fuel value of 2500 to 2600 calories was ample to meet the requirements of the men under the then existing conditions of bodily and mental activity. Are we not justified, therefore, in again asking the question, why should we hold and teach the doctrine that the healthy adult needs to metabolize 105 grams of proteid food daily? As Voit has well said, the smallest amount of food that will serve to maintain physiological equilibrium and keep up health and strength is the ideal diet. The eleven subjects of this Hospital detachment, who remained throughout the experiment, were apparently able to maintain physiological equilibrium and preserve their health and strength under the conditions of diet as described, thereby demonstrating the possibilities of a physiological economy corresponding to a saving of full fifty per cent or more in proteid food; a saving of possibly great physiological import, to say nothing of the possible economic and sociological importance of the saving. Further, we may add that the minimal proteid requirement as evidenced by the results of these experiments is more than fifty per cent lower than the figures quoted by most physiologists as necessary for the maintenance of life and strength; and we are certainly justified in the additional statement that if the figures obtained in these experiments truly represent the minimal proteid requirement of the men under observation, then this minimal requirement is quite sufficient to meet the physiological needs of the body for an indefinite period.

Physical Condition of the Men

Recalling the fact that this condition of lowered proteid metabolism was maintained for a period of five months, we may next consider the effect of this changed nutritive condition upon the health and strength of the men. The question of body-weight we have already considered. More pertinent is the question, to how great an extent was the strength and bodily vigor of the men modified by the diminished amount of proteid food? The answer to this question is found in the subjoined report from Dr. William G. Anderson, Director of the Yale University Gymnasium.

Yale University Gymnasium,
New Haven, Conn., April 6, 1904.

To Professor Russell H. Chittenden,
Director of the Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University,
New Haven, Conn.

Dear Sir,—I hand you herewith a report of the physical training of the squad of soldiers sent by you to the Yale Gymnasium.

These men have taken one hour’s exercise daily for six months, Sundays excepted,—October 1, 1903, to April 1, 1904.

Before beginning the bodily development of the men we measured each one and took what are known as the American Collegiate Strength Tests. These measurements and tests have been taken twice each month. For details as to measurements and methods of testing the strength of the body, see the “Notes” attached to this report.

The members of the squad were called to the floor each morning as soon after nine-thirty as they could don the required suit. For twenty minutes they were put through a series of setting up exercises and body-building movements; then followed exercises on the apparatus, such as bars, rings, ladders, etc. This was followed by a jump or game.

The exercises were progressive as to duration, force, extent, and number of movements. At the end of the six months the men were being put through gymnastics that were exacting and fatiguing. As the progression was carefully made, the men did not suffer from soreness to any marked degree. By way of comparison it may be said, the gymnastic training given the soldiers was much more severe than is given to the Freshmen of Yale in their required physical training. Perhaps the Varsity Crew are “put through” as rigid gymnastic training as any of the athletes in college, so we copied the exercises taken by oarsmen in order to “try out” the soldiers. This work was easily taken by all the “Dieters,”—no complaint, so far as I know, having been entered.

The improvement in accuracy and grace of movement has been noticeable, while there has been a gain in skill as well.

I do not consider these men, as a body, well put up. They did not rank favorably with applicants for policeman or fireman and were noticeably timid in exercises that called for courage. In the vault over a fence there was a very marked fear. This was the poorest and least satisfactory test of all we made. At the end of the six months the hesitancy to vault had entirely disappeared, the event being looked upon by the men as a “cinch.”

The gain in self-reliance and courage has been as evident as the increase in the figures of the strength test. I consider this a valuable acquisition as it stands for a good body condition. Among athletes, especially gymnasts, a weakened or tired body is made known by fear or uncertainty. Our students, as well as professional athletes, admit this.

I attribute the timidity of the soldiers in these seemingly simple tests to their general physical condition at the outset, and the increase in self-reliance to the better condition of their bodies at the end of the six months’ training. The story told by the measurements is both interesting and significant, but of less importance than the ability to improve under training, which ability cannot be measured with a tape or weighed with scales.

In the majority of cases there was a loss in body-weight, but this we look for, as the larger number of soldiers were fairly well supplied with adipose tissue. Both Sliney and Oakman are exceptions, these men being “fine” at the outset. I mean thin and muscular with little fat. The latter, Oakman, is an old man judged from the physical activity standpoint, and lost noticeably during the tests and exercise. I refer to weight and girth measurements only. He made a very large gain in his strength tests and was among the leading men in all that called for courage and self-control. Sliney, nervous, irritable, and aggressive, balanced his losses with his gains in the tape and scale events, but made great improvement in the use of the dynamometers. Fritz and Cohn were quite fat and showed the expected loss in weight, but not in other respects.

For comparison I have quoted from Dr. J. W. Seaver’s anthropometric charts and have selected the “Average Student Measurements” (2390 men) as well as the mean measurements of 500 athletes and gymnasts. A glance at either set of figures will give an idea of how the soldiers compare with men living on a regular diet and surrounded with the very best environment.

The strength tests stand for mental states more than the tape line and calipers, and are suggestive of improvement in body conditions for the reasons mentioned above. These records are far above those made by Academic Freshmen in Yale, but it must be added that the soldiers have taken more exercise than the collegians.

The hearts and lungs of the men are in excellent condition, while the soldiers as a body are in better shape physically, are stronger and healthier than in October. The skin of the men is clear and ruddy.

The figures for comparison in the Strength Test Table are from the records sent me by Dr. Geo. Meylan, the Director of the Columbia University Gymnasium. I understand that others than college men are represented in his data. In the figures given in my own tables I have omitted the small fractions in the main body of the tables, but have recorded them in the totals.

The greater portion of the training of the soldiers has been under the personal supervision of Wm. H. Callahan, M. D., the Medical Assistant at the Gymnasium, to whom I am indebted for help and suggestions. Mr. Wm. Chase, Mr. Anton Muller, Mr. John Stapleton, and Mr. H. R. Gladwin, Assistant Instructors in the Gymnasium, have led the drills and have looked after the actual muscular training of the men. I gladly acknowledge the co-operation of these gentlemen in the physical development of the squad.

A brief summary of my conclusions:—

The men were not above the average standard, physically, when they began their work, this standard being set by applicants for firemen and policemen, not by college students. At the end of their training they were much above the same standard, while their strength tests were far greater than the averages made by college men. They showed less improvement in increase in size than University men do under like gymnastic treatment, but the gain in self-confidence and in body-fibre was very evident. The gain in accuracy and skill was marked. The men showed interest in their work throughout the six months. At the end of the period of training the soldiers were in excellent condition in spite of the fact that in some cases there was a slight loss of body-weight. This loss is not to be attributed necessarily to the diet, because most men who exercise lose slightly if there is an excess of adipose tissue.

Respectfully yours,

(Signed) W. G. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson furnishes the following “Notes” descriptive of the methods by which the strength tests were made:

“Strength of Back. The subject, standing upon the iron foot-rest with the dynamometer so arranged that when grasping the handles with both hands his body will be inclined forward at an angle of 60 degrees, should take a full breath and, without bending the knees, give one hard lift, mostly with the back.

“Strength of Legs. The subject while standing on the foot-rest with body and head erect, and chest thrown forward, should sink down, by bending the knees, until the handle grasped rests against the thighs, then taking a full breath, he should lift hard principally with the legs, using the hands to hold the handle in place.

“Strength of Chest. The subject with his elbows extended at the sides until the forearms are on the same horizontal plane and holding the dynamometer so that the dial will face outward and the indicator point upward, should take a full breath and push vigorously against the handles, allowing the back of the instrument to press on the chest.

“Strength of Upper Arms, Triceps. The subject, while holding the position of rest upon the parallel bars, supporting his weight with arms straight, should let the body down until the chin is level with the bars, and then push it up again until the arms are fully extended. Note the number of times that he can lift himself in this manner.

“Strength of Upper Arms, Biceps. The subject should grasp a horizontal bar or pair of rings and hang with the feet clear from the floor while the arms are extended. Note the number of times that he can haul his body up until his chin touches the bar or ring.

“Strength of Forearms. The subject, while holding the dynamometer so that the dial is turned inward, should squeeze the spring as hard as possible, first with the right hand then with the left. The strength of the muscles between the shoulders may be tested with the same instrument. The subject, while holding the dynamometer on a level with the chest, should grasp it with handles and pull both arms from the centre outward.

“The total strength is ascertained by multiplying the weight by the number of times it has been raised (push up and pull up), to this product we add the strength of hands, legs, back, and chest. The result is the total strength of the man. In some cases the product obtained by multiplying the weight by push up and pull up is divided by ten to reduce the size of the figures. We have not done so here.

“The run, vault, and ladder tests are not figured in. The lung capacity is also omitted from the final figures.”

---

The following tables furnished by Dr. Anderson and Dr. Callahan give (1) the measurements of the eleven men who completed the experiment, taken on October 12, 1903, and April 2, 1904. For comparison are also given measurements of Yale College students, athletes, etc. (2) Strength or dynamometer tests, i. e., the first test taken in October and the final test taken in April, 1904, together with Columbia University strength tests for comparison. (3) A series of eleven tables giving for each man the individual strength tests, two or three each month, taken during the stay of the detachment in New Haven. Study of these individual results is quite interesting, since it shows very strikingly the gradual gain in strength of the men, and at the same time illustrates how temporary conditions, bodily or mental, may influence a record of this character, more noticeable in some individuals than in others. Mental stimulus, as is well known, counts for much in the manifestation of muscular power, but the neuro-muscular mechanism depends for its highest efficiency upon the nutritive condition of the tissues as much as does the muscle tissue alone. In the obtaining of a strength test, it is usually found that the best results are recorded when there is competition among the men; i. e., under the influence of an outside stimulus.

The main things in Dr. Anderson’s report especially to be emphasized are (1) the gain in self-reliance and courage of the men under training, indicative as they are of the better physical condition of their bodies, and (2) the marked increase in their strength as indicated by the steady improvement in the strength or dynamometer tests. Obviously, the daily training to which the men were subjected in the Gymnasium is not to be overlooked as one factor in bringing about the gain in accuracy and skill, and indeed this factor must count for something in explaining the general gain in bodily strength, but increased skill alone will not account for the great gain in muscular power.

The results of these systematic tests make it very evident that the men were not being weakened by the lowered intake of proteid food. On the contrary, their ability to do muscular work was greatly increased; a fact which cannot well be connected with anything other than the physiological economy which was being practised. There must be enough food to make good the daily waste of tissue, enough food to furnish the energy of muscular contraction, but any surplus over and above what is necessary to supply these needs is not only a waste, but may prove an incubus, retarding the smooth working of the machinery and detracting from the power of the muscular mechanism to do its best work.

The figures showing the total strength of the men in October, 1903, on their ordinary diet, and on the second day of April, 1904, when the experiment was nearing completion are certainly very impressive.

Here we see gains in strength of 100 per cent in some cases, while Coffman shows an improvement so marked as to be almost marvellous. While there can be no question that a certain amount of this gain is to be attributed to the practice incidental to these months of work in the Gymnasium, it is equally clear that a large part of the gain is due to the improved physical condition of the men’s bodies, for which the change in diet must be considered as responsible. In any event, the change from the ordinary diet to a diet comparatively poor in proteid has not resulted in any physical deterioration. On the contrary, there is every indication of a marked improvement in physical condition. In this connection the following note from Dr. DeWitt, commanding the detachment, is of interest:

332 Temple Street, New Haven, Conn.,
March 30, 1904.

Professor Russell H. Chittenden,
Director Sheffield Scientific School,
New Haven, Conn.

Sir,—In compliance with your verbal request I have the honor to inform you that at this date the men of this detachment are all in good physical condition.

Very respectfully,

(Signed) Wallace Dewitt,
1st Lieut. and Asst. Surgeon U. S. Army,
Commdg. Det. H. C.

Finally, attention may be called to the photographs of the men, taken just prior to the close of the experiment, from which may be gained some idea of their physical condition so far as it can be judged by external appearance. Certainly, there is no indication in these photographs of any lack of bodily vigor. On the contrary, there is good muscular development, without any undue amount of fat, and indeed every indication of a good bodily condition, coupled with that appearance of quickness and alertness that belongs to the well-developed man, in a state of physiological balance. The photographs scattered through this section of the book, showing the soldiers at work in the gymnasium, likewise give some idea of the lighter forms of exercise they followed each day in the training of bodily movements.

What now is to be said regarding the nervous condition of the men; i. e., their ability to respond to stimulation or, in other words, their mental quickness or reaction time? To study this question, the soldiers were sent with regularity to the Yale Psychological Laboratory, where their reaction time was studied with great care. The results of this investigation are contained in the following report made by Dr. Charles H. Judd, in charge of the Yale Psychological Laboratory.

REPORT ON REACTION TIME.

In order to test the quickness of the members of the Hospital Corps Detachment, and to determine whether the changes in diet affected in any way their ability to respond promptly to sensory stimulation, each man was carried through a series of reaction experiments at the Yale Psychological Laboratory. The method of the experiments was that regularly employed in simple reaction time experiments. The person whose reaction time is to be measured is seated in a comfortable position with his finger pressing on an electric key. He is told that he is to lift his finger from the key as quickly as possible when he hears a given sound-signal. The sounder which produces this signal and the electric key are placed in a circuit with a standard time-measuring apparatus—the Hipp Chronoscope. This chronoscope is arranged so that it begins to record the instant the sound is given and stops the instant the reactor lifts his finger. The dial of the chronoscope shows in thousandths of a second (hereafter designated by the technical term sigmas) the time that elapses between the sound to which the reactor is to respond and the movement of response. The chronoscope was tested at frequent intervals by means of a standard pendulum and errors in the record are well under two sigmas.

The time which is measured by this method is occupied chiefly by nervous processes. The following factors may be specified: First, the auditory organ is aroused by the sound; second, the afferent nerve transmits the stimulation to the central nervous system; third, the central nervous system carries the energy to the motor nerves; fourth, the efferent motor nerves transmit the stimulus to the muscles; and finally, some time is required by the muscle for its contraction. It will be seen, accordingly, that the chief factors of a reaction are nervous processes, and since the external conditions of successive reactions are in all respects uniform, any variations in the time of a given person’s reactions may be regarded as indicating variations in the nervous condition of the reactor. In view of the instability of nervous conditions, it is necessary to eliminate any slight or merely temporary fluctuations by taking each time a given reactor is tested a series of reactions. For this reason, a series of ten reactions was taken with each of the men every two weeks during November, December, and January. After an interval of two months, namely, on March 30, 31, and April 1, two final series were made with each man.

The results are presented in tables 1 to 5. The dates in the first column indicate the day on which each individual set of ten reactions was taken. The second column presents the averages of each ten reactions in sigmas. The third column gives the mean variations of the various single reaction times from the average. The fourth column gives the variations of the day’s average, recorded in column 2, from the general average of that individual for all his experiments. These general averages are presented in table 6. At the bottom of each complete column of averages will be found the group average. This quantity is obtained by averaging the results from all the members of the squad for periods of, approximately, two weeks.

The mean variations in the third column make it clear that the subjects did not settle down into what could be regarded as trained subjects. Trained subjects are expected to give mean variations which are consistently within the limits of 10 per cent of the average. While there are, of course, instances in which the mean variation falls within this limit, there is no consistent exhibition of the regularity indicative of thorough practice. This fact is further confirmed by a comparison of the results of March 30, 31, and April 1 with those of the earlier months. At the end of March, all effects of practice in November, December, and January, except the most general, may be regarded as having disappeared; and yet the averages and variations for the March and April dates resemble closely those of the month immediately preceding and also those of November. The effects of practice may, accordingly, be regarded as insignificant.

This lack of special training accounts for the large variations which appear in some cases. As is usual in reaction experiments, the signal to which the reactors were to respond was in each case preceded by about two seconds by a bell signal to arouse attention. Conditions were thus rendered as nearly uniform as possible, but the variations indicate in three or four cases exceptional lapses of attention. Such exceptional cases can be eliminated without prejudicing the final validity of the results by substituting the median for the averages. In table 7, the medians are grouped together and show even more than the tables of average the absence of any general variation during the period of the tests.

The obvious conclusion from these tests is that the quickness of the members of the squad underwent no general change during the whole period covered by the test. Individual members showed variations from time to time, but these variations are clearly accidental in character, for they show no regular tendencies and are in no way related to the changes in the character and amount of the diet.

Character of the Blood

One question that naturally arises in considering the possible effects of a diminished proteid intake upon bodily health is whether a continued diminution of proteid food will have any influence upon the character and composition of the blood. It might be claimed, for example, that a lowering of the quantity of proteid food below the ordinarily accepted standards will eventually result in a deterioration in the character of the blood. Obviously, if such should prove to be the case, it would at once emphasize the necessity for higher standards of proteid feeding. Further, there might result marked changes in the hæmoglobin-content of the blood in connection with a lowered proteid metabolism long continued. With these thoughts in mind, a careful study of the blood of the soldiers has been made from time to time, with special reference to determining the number of erythrocytes and leucocytes in the fluid, attention also being paid to the percentage of hæmoglobin.

Four distinct observations were made, as a rule, upon each man, namely, in the months of October, December, January, and March. The results are tabulated in the accompanying tables. Examination of these results shows that, as a rule, the number of erythrocytes, or red blood corpuscles, was somewhat increased during this period of lowered proteid feeding. We are not disposed, however, to lay very much stress upon this apparent increase, because it is not sufficiently marked to carry much weight, especially in view of the difficulties attending the obtaining of great accuracy in blood counts in general. Regarding the leucocytes, the figures are less definite, but may be fairly interpreted as indicating practically no appreciable change in the number of white corpuscles. Similarly, the hæmoglobin-content shows no distinct alteration. Hence, the conclusion is that the physiological economy practised by the soldiers during their six months’ stay in New Haven, and especially the marked diminution in the amount of proteid food consumed, did not result in any deterioration of the blood, so far as it can be measured by the number of contained erythrocytes and leucocytes, and by the content of hæmoglobin.

General Conclusions

Careful consideration of the foregoing data, taken in their entirety, must lead the unbiassed thinker to admit the possibilities of physiological economy in nutrition. That there is no real need for a daily diet containing 118 grams of proteid food seems clearly indicated. The members of the soldier detachment lived without discomfort for a period of five months on amounts of proteid food not more than one-half that called for by the ordinary standard dietaries, and this without increasing the amount of non-nitrogenous food. Body-weight, nitrogen equilibrium, physical strength and vigor, ability to respond to sensory stimulation, the composition and general condition of the blood, all remained unimpaired under a daily diet involving the metabolism of only 7 to 8 grams of nitrogen per day and with a fuel value of less than 2800 calories per day.

Further, the practice of such economy led to marked improvement in the working of the neuro-muscular machinery, sufficiently noticeable to attract the attention of the men themselves, apart from the records of the dynamometer, etc. Indeed, it has been the universal feeling among all the subjects of experiment that they were less conscious of fatigue than formerly, or that they could do more work without the feeling of fatigue that is usually so conspicuous after heavy work, or long-continued muscular strain. We thus have for consideration an added factor, viz., the possible improvement of the physical condition of the body under a lowered proteid intake. This question, however, we shall discuss more fully later on. It is enough for the present to simply emphasize the fact that with a greatly diminished proteid metabolism the body suffers no harm, the muscular machinery is as well able to perform its work as usual, and consequently there would seem to be no adequate reason why our daily dietary should be cumbered with such quantities of proteid matter as are generally considered necessary for health and strength.

There is one point of great importance in this connection that should not be overlooked, viz., whether the power of resistance toward disease is diminished in any way by a continued low proteid intake. This is surely a proper question, and one that must be carefully considered. Fortunately or unfortunately, we have no facts at our disposal. We have the belief, however, engendered by the results so far obtained, that there is no good ground for assuming the body to be any more susceptible to disease under conditions of low proteid metabolism than when supplied with an excess of proteid food. Indeed, it has been somewhat remarkable how free from all troubles—even during a very trying winter—the subjects of this experiment have been. We believe that economy in the use of proteid food, curtailment of proteid metabolism to a degree commensurate with the real needs of the body, will prove helpful to health, but we have no convincing facts to present,—only the simple statement that all the men have been well and remarkably free from colds and other minor ailments all through the experiment.

It is a remarkable and suggestive fact that when a person has once practised physiological economy in his diet sufficiently long for it to have become in a measure a habit, he has no desire to return to a fuller dietary rich in proteid matter. This, it seems to the writer, is convincing proof that both body and mind are fully satisfied with the smaller amounts of food, and argues in favor of the latter being quite adequate for the physiological needs of the organism. In this connection, the writer presents a few lines received during the summer from one of the soldier detachment. Nine of these men, after completing their work at New Haven early in April, 1904, were detailed for service at St. Louis, and the letter which is quoted was written simply to ask concerning some photographs that had been promised them. In the letter, however, occur two or three sentences which are interesting and suggestive.

Professor Russell H. Chittenden:

Dear Sir,—On behalf of the men that were undergoing the “Food Test” conducted by you last winter, I write these few lines asking whether we are entitled to any of the photographs that were taken of us in the Yale Gymnasium the last two days we were there.... The men are all in first-class condition as regards their physical condition, and are all very thankful to you. We eat very little meat now as a rule, and would willingly go on another test. Enclosed you will find a list of the men as follows: Private 1st Class Jonah Broyles; Private 1st Class William E. Coffman; Private 1st Class James D. Henderson; Private 1st Class Maurice D. Loewenthal; Private 1st Class William Morris; Private 1st Class William F. Sliney; Private 1st Class John J. B. Steltz; Private 1st Class Ben Zooman; Private 1st Class William Oakman.

Trusting I may hear from you in the near future, I am,

Very respectfully,

Daily Dietary of the Soldier Detail From October 2, 1903, to April 4, 1904

For the first two weeks of their stay in New Haven, the soldiers were given their ordinary army ration, which is rich in meat and consequently had a high content of proteid or nitrogen. The detachment had their own cook and helper, and their food was prepared for them as they had always been accustomed to it. Further, they had at this time perfect freedom as to the quantity of food to be eaten, the figures given in the earlier days representing their own choice of quantity. Later, by the beginning of the third week, the diet was modified somewhat by the introduction of other articles in place of meat, especially at breakfast, so that the total nitrogen intake was diminished in some degree, but the men were still allowed freedom as to quantity. From November to the close of the experiment in April, both the character and quantity of the food for each meal were prescribed, but great care was exercised to see that the men were fully satisfied. Changes were made gradually and no discomfort was felt, or at least no complaint was made, although the men were frequently questioned and encouraged to comment upon the dietary and to make suggestions.

The dietary, however, speaks for itself, and a careful perusal of the daily record, with reference both to the character of the food and the quantities employed, will give clearer and more exact information as to the changes introduced than any verbal description. The only statement that need be made is that the heavier proteid foods were greatly reduced in amount, and replaced in a measure by the lighter carbohydrate foods. Finally, it may be said that while vegetable foods eventually predominated, there was at no time a complete change to a vegetable diet.
