Q. Now how many experimental subjects did you use in your experiments?
A. Five of them.
Q. And you say that they were volunteers, your assistants, is that right?
A. Yes, they were all doctors, volunteers, and, as I said, also included my youngest son who also happens to be here.
Q. And precisely what happened during these experiments?
A. These persons were assembled in one room, received the same amount of salt each and more or less continued their work. They drank 500 cc. of sea-water, and one of them drank 1,000, and they stuck pretty closely to the provisions set down for the experiment.
Q. You say four of them drank 500 cc. of sea-water per day and the fifth one drank 1,000 cubic centimeters of sea-water?
A. The fifth drank on one day, on the last day I think, an additional 500 cc. because he was very thirsty.
Q. When did you start the experiments?
A. On the Monday before the beginning of Lent.
