Abstract
AFTER a single dose of a substance, its urinary excretion is commonly highest during the subsequent twenty-four hours, and then decreases with time. It is often desirable to compare different urinary excretion-rates, to extrapolate or interpolate, etc., so that any method of plotting the data such that the relationship is linear between some functions of urinary excretion and time has obvious advantages.
