Q. In what record? Have we any record on these experiments?
A. Yes. There was a record.
Q. Now, they got absolutely no fresh water during the course of the experiments, is that right?
A. No.
Q. Did they get any other water or fluid other than salt water?
A. No, that was the whole purpose, that they should receive no other fluid and that is why they lost their appetite later.
Q. They got no milk and no fruit juices?
A. No, no, that would have violated the whole experiment, and then they would not have lost so much weight.
Q. I can appreciate that, Professor. Where did you get the sea-water that these experimental subjects drank?
A. We manufactured it carefully in the chemical laboratory according to a chemical analysis of sea-water that can be found in many text books. I have a chemist who was in charge of the laboratory and he made this sea-water according to the formula. We couldn’t get any natural sea-water for this experiment.
