Interesting Experiments. Prof. Masso. Of till! Ilnivorolt.. ?' Genoa, has recently completed a series of interesting experiments for the purpose of observing the temperature of the body during fasting and the rate of assimilation of earliohyvates. The experiments demonstrated the efficacy of sugar in raising the temperature of an animal which had fallen during a fast. Upon the administration of sugar the temperature rose rapidly during fifteen minutes and in one or two hours reached its maximum. After bread is given the temperature will rise more slowly than in the ease of sugar, owing to the greater difficulty the animal has in assimilating the food. Prof. Masso says that with sugar he lias succeeded in retoring the vitality of dogs in a serious state of hypothermin. while iho administration of albumen to others failed to save their lives.
