• cur | prev 2019 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,240 bytes) (+150) . . (→ did the division. the balance resolved two tenths of an ounce and the result was three quarters of one, so the whole of it is under four divisions of the scale. that is in none of the accounts and it takes ten seconds)
• cur | prev 2003 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (2,090 bytes) (+140) . . (→ there is a film called 21 Grams. the figure is now better known than the man, the patients, the dogs or the objection)
• cur | prev 1920 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,950 bytes) (+60) m . . (→ MacDougall has died. he got the thing every experimenter wants, which is a number that outlives the argument about it)
• cur | prev December 1907 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,890 bytes) (+90) m . . (→ the correspondence has stopped. neither man moved and the figure is in the newspapers either way)
• cur | prev May 1907 A. P. Clarke (talk | contribs) . . (1,800 bytes) (+300) . . (→ the blood stops going through the lungs, the body warms, the skin sweats, and the sweat evaporates. that is your ounce, and it comes in a burst at the moment you were watching. the dogs do not sweat, which is why the dogs did nothing)
• cur | prev April 1907 D. MacDougall (talk | contribs) . . (1,500 bytes) (+380) . . (→ written up properly because the account in the papers is wrong and there is now no way to un-print it. one patient gave the figure and the article should say so, and does)
• cur | prev 11 March 1907 the New York Times (talk | contribs) . . (1,120 bytes) (+260) . . (→ SOUL HAS WEIGHT, PHYSICIAN THINKS. SCALES SHOWED AN OUNCE GONE IN ONE CASE. he has not published and we have not asked him, and there were four other doctors present)
• cur | prev 1906 D. MacDougall (talk | contribs) . . (860 bytes) (+200) . . (→ fifteen dogs, between fifteen and seventy pounds, and no loss on any of them. I should have preferred diseased animals too weak to struggle and could not get them, which I record; and I take the result to show what I expected it to show)
• cur | prev 1905 D. MacDougall (talk | contribs) . . (660 bytes) (−70) m . . (→ struck two. the scales were out of adjustment on one and still settling on the other, and I will not build on either)
• cur | prev 1903 D. MacDougall (talk | contribs) . . (730 bytes) (+130) . . (→ the second lost an ounce and a half and fifty grains over eighteen minutes, the third half an ounce and then an ounce more. neither is the first and I am reporting both)
• cur | prev 1902 D. MacDougall (talk | contribs) . . (600 bytes) (+180) . . (→ allowed for the air in the lungs by getting on the scale myself and breathing in and out as hard as I am able. the beam did not move. bladder and bowels stay on the bed. the ordinary loss by evaporation is measured beforehand and subtracted)
• cur | prev 1901 D. MacDougall (talk | contribs) . . (420 bytes) (+420) . . (created page; if the soul is a thing it occupies space, and if it occupies space it has weight. I have had a bed built and set on a balance, a colleague to help me watch it, and I shall find out)
