Abstract:

Investigations were made on the water content in the living during feverish diseases. Simultaneously, continuous body weight measurements were taken. The investigations of the water content of living people were limited to blood investigations for there is doubtless a relation existing between the water content of the blood and the tissues. Certain inferences therefore, can be drawn on the water content of the entire organism from the water content of the blood. Continuous investigations of blood concentration and body weight were made during various infectious diseases, in particular, during a number of cases of croupous pneumonia.
