The fact that these chemical substances are indispensable to the metabolic processes makes it necessary for the nurse to know where they can be found in food and how best to use them.
These are treated as in other conditions so complicated, except that the period of starvation must necessarily be limited on account of the metabolic waste already taking place from the disease itself.

So persistent a disturbing element in spring and autumn suggests that some physiological conditions underlie it, and that there is a real metabolic disturbance at these times of the year.
So few continuous observations have yet been made on the metabolic processes of the body that it is not easy to verify such a surmise with absolute precision.
For example, selection against bone that is no longer essential for support can occur only so long as the metabolic and protective needs of the organism provided by that character are not compromised.
A useless burden of metabolic demands is placed upon the organism because the character no longer aids the survival of the organism.
