TitleUnpublished paper, 'On the effect of exercise upon the bodily temperatures' by Thomas Clifford Allbutt
DateOctober 1870
DescriptionAllbutt's object in carrying out the experiments recorded in the present paper was to inquire whether the regulating-power of the organism held good under great variations of muscular exertion. For this purpose he made frequent daily examinations of his own temperatures during a short walking tour in Switzerland, and found that the effect of continuous muscular exertion upon himself was to sharpen the curve of daily variation, the culmination being one or two tenths higher than usual, and the evening fall coming on more rapidly and somewhat earlier. Charts of the daily temperatures are included with the paper.

Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Marked on front as 'Archives Mar 16/71'.
