Section 100.

PERSPIRATION.

Perspiration is the evacuation of the juices of the body through the pores of the skin. It has been calculated (S. 4, N. 4) that there are above three hundred millions of pores in the glands of the skin which covers the body of a middle-sized man. Through these pores more than one half of what we eat and drink passes off by insensible perspiration. If we consume eight pounds of food in a day (App. § 9; S. 27, N. 8), five pounds of it (S. 4, N. 5, B) are insensibly discharged by perspiration. During a night of seven hours’ sleep we perspire about two pounds and a half. At an average we may estimate the discharge by sensible and insensible perspiration at from half an ounce to four ounces per hour. This (+Dies+) is a most wonderful part of the animal economy, and is absolutely necessary to our health, and even to our very existence.—THE REV. DR. DICK.

+Ausscheidung+, f.

‘(there) to be’, here +sich befinden+. Place the reflective pron. after the conjunction +daß+. The words ‘above — pores’ come after the relative clause ‘which — man’, after which place the verb +befinden+.

Substitute a relative pronoun for the conjunction ‘and’, which will improve the sentence very much.
