5. TABLE 1. RADIUM CONTENT OF EXCRETÀ - SUB JECT A. Sample Net Weight Date Radium in Sample, Number Grams Feb. 1929 Mioro-iorograms . 1 0.450 19 329 2 2.248 20 1685 9 1.778 21 1067 10 0.379 22 274 12 4.579 24 2435 13 1.644 25 843 16 1.600 26 768 Total radium in feces - 7 days 7403 3 ug Average daily olimination of radium in feces 1058 There should be added to the total radium excreted per day, the radium present daily in the urine, which was found to be 103 x 10*12 6, a and avorage of detorminations on two samples. The total radium el- iminated daily is thus brought up to 1161 u ug. Since Subject A bears approximately 21 micrograms of radium element simple ditision gives the value 5 x 10-5(0.005 %) as the coefficient of daily elimination for this subject. Expressed in other words it appears that it takes Subject A about 890 days to eliminate one microgram of radium. It is worth while to point out that the daily elimination of radium in the feces runs closely parallel with the weight of the mineral residue. This relation was also found to hold for Subject B, who, however, is not as efficient in the olinination of radium as A. The condensed experimental data follows: Total radium in feces - 6 days period 1846 y ug. Daily elimination of radium - feces - average 308 " 17
