Abstract
I AM and have been a “medical student” for many years, and hope to live in that capacity for some years more. I admit that I ought to know “the relation between the surface temperature of the body, the quantity of heat passing away from it, and the amount of heat generated in the body by the food given to a patient,” but I do not know all this, and I have never discovered anyone who can tell me where I can learn it or how I can find it out by any efforts of my own.
